And to answer the question: my initial thrill level was a 1 out of 5 (it's silly to rate things on a 0-to-10 scale, since most humans can't separate that sort of thing into more than six or seven categories at most). After seeing Big-Assed Money Week, Yes You Can Have That Pony, Enjoy Your Hummer, and every other trite audience manipulating drivel stunt, that number has levelled off to zero of five. Never in my twenty-three years of watching game shows has a show so quickly and unashamedly worn out its welcome for me. And I was all set to give it a go too.
So, yeah, the "thrill" of watching people with no math skills turning down absurd amounts of money has worn off. Pardon me while I trundle over to the sink to stir up a Metamucil drink.
I'll stick to Andrew, Emma the Money Lady and the Australian Deal, thanks.
