What happens if there are two contestants who have the same low score going into Double Jeopardy?

Its made by the same people who made the Price Is Right wheel. How long was that show on?

Because the show is taped and they wouldn't bother showing it if the wheel broke.

Why not? It'd be a memorable moment in TV history. If you are the producer, wouldnt you want your show to have lots of memorable moments? Other shows have done it (The classic "That'd be the butt Bob" for instance) so what's the story? I'd enjoy seeing the wheel just move an inch after some guy puts a lot into his spin.

Whoever has the least money at the start of the Double Jeopardy round gets to pick the first clue.

I assume they would flip a coin or something. Maybe base it on who responded to a clue last.

It's a fscking circle. How the hell does a circle malfunction? Does it spontaneously turn into a triangle and get stuck? :confused:

Try Google, I believe there was an incident recently where three people wound up tied at the end of the game, and they had a play-off episode or something. In a case like you describe, they would probably have a bonus question to figure out who got it or something.
