However, Michelle landed on a “THE BIG 40” space, winning $40,000 and overtaking Purple Lady in the final moments. Elizabeth Banks described the moment:

“There was literally one thing on that board that she could win with, and she happened to hit it.”

Speaking to Elizabeth about her reaction upon being invited back, Purple Lady shared,

“I got off the phone. I threw the phone somewhere, and I started twerking. I danced for a whole hour. I lost about 5lbs baby!”

“I am so excited! I’m here to redeem myself!”

This segment highlighted the episode's focus on returning contestants with unfinished business. Each player came into the game with personal reasons for wanting another shot. While the game format stayed consistent with other episodes, the Redemption episode focused more on contestants' past results and their emotional reactions to coming back.


Prizes each contestant hopes to win

In a separate preview clip posted on Instagram, the Press Your Luck contestants were asked which prize on the Big Board they hoped to take home. Purple Lady said,

“I am going for the Big 5-O. I turned fifty, two and a half years ago. I am coming for the Big 5-O baby!”

Her statement referenced a $50,000 prize space that aligns with her personal milestone. Sumatie expressed practical reasons for her goal, stating,

“I’m here for the Lucid Air. I need a car. I hit deer, I hit elk, I hit semis, so I need a car so I can hit something new.”

Meanwhile, Kelley shared a more experience-based wish, saying,

“Oh man, I see a bunch of prizes. I’d love to have lunch with Elizabeth Banks. That would be a fancy and a dream.”

This episode of Press Your Luck stayed true to its structure, with contestants earning spins by answering trivia questions and using those spins to gather money and prizes while avoiding the WHAMMY. With returning players and new stakes, Redemption 2: Insanity! gave an opportunity for familiar faces to rewrite their previous outcomes on the show.
