In each round, the first contestant to hit their buzzer and answer a question correctly is asked to nominate 1 of the other contestants to come under the roulette wheel to face potential elimination. The roulette mechanism is then rotated over the penalized contestant who is then required to pull a cord above them – if they are then saturated in liquid, they are eliminated from the game. If a contestant answers a question incorrectly, the roulette mechanism rotates above them, and they are subject to potential elimination.
