Winsanity is a Game Show Network original Game Show that premiered in June 2016. Hosted by Donald Faison of Scrubs fame, he aim of the game is to "stack the facts", i.e. put a series of numbers in ascending order from the bottom to the top. Contestants are picked from the Studio Audience...but just because an audience member isn't picked doesn't mean they don't get to win; thanks to the "win watches" that everyone in the audience shares, each audience member has a chance to win what the contestant wins.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The facts are presented in four rounds (4 facts, then 3, then 2, then 1), each with a category that ties them together. Numbers range from the very low (including single-digits) to the very high (hundreds of millions, or even billions). Things get progressively harder the more numbers there are, as the contestant must slide each fact in between several others as the game progresses. If a contestant incorrectly orders the facts, they're replaced by a new contestant.In season 2, the format changed to a more standard competition: Two players (each playing for a section of the studio audience) play three rounds of fact-stacking for various dollar amounts. The winner then goes on to a Bonus Round to play for $10,000 (for both themselves and their section of the audience).

All or Nothing: Played with in season 1. Though the contestant (and selected audience members) keep the first prize won no matter what, if the contestant makes it to the final fact (worth $10,000 and two cars, one for the contestant and one for one lucky audience member), they're given the category and the chance to walk away. If they continue and lose, they and the audience lose all their prizes except the first one.

"Show it to us!" is almost a Forced Meme, as GSN promos it back-to-back with Family Feud and their own Catchphrase, "Survey said!"

The Announcer: Kira Soltanovich, best known for being on the Oxygen show Girls Behaving Badly. She gets plenty of screen time and "fires up" the win watches to see who gets picked to be a contestant and for prizes. Ditched in Season 2.
