And whether they are in the lead or not. I can see someone with a lead trying to avoid the $5000.

I remember Pat at one point saying that he could hit the $5,000 anytime he wanted to, and that always seemed like it posed a problem to me. How many of your final spins, then, are truly luck-based? If a contestant is way behind and has been kind of a poor sport, are you really trying to hit the big money?

Part of being a host is not caring about things like that.

I seem to recall one time that Pat Sajak mentioned some viewers inquired why he wasn't always trying to hit the $5,000 spot on the wheel more often. I believe he said he would just spin the wheel with just enough strength, and not try to make it look as though he was trying to help certain contestants win.
Sometimes, I think they should maybe bring back the $1,500 space in that round, (can't recall what season it was dropped), and maybe even keep the $2,500 and $3,500 wedges on the wheel during the entire show. I'm sure prize budgets have something to do with that!

I'd much prefer this to upping the bonus round minimum.

And now that we're up to season 39, they're not gonna be able to keep raising the minimum much longer without introducing $60,000, $75,000, etc.
