Even three contestants is quite a chain. I'm really sure I'd have it worked out except I went about trying to follow the whole chain by hand and I keep making little errors of calculation.
I ought to look into the literature about the Showcase Showdown, and maybe other games too. I think the most interesting question would be whether it's a good strategy to listen to the crowd's opinion, but that's also something pretty much impossible to actually test.
