you sure are making an awful lot of assumptions based on pure speculations there.
What speculation? Plinko, as shown by an iCount USA (a Fremantle-used research firm) in-depth
Price is Right survey last spring, is the favorite game on the program. And has been shown by
Millionaire in 1999/2000 and
Deal or No Deal in 2005/2006, viewers enjoy it when a lot of what they like is given to them at a frequent rate. This is why I think it is fine for just a week, because as
Millionaire in 2002 and
Deal in 2008 shows us, when you do too much, it does indeed become ruined. (As I alluded to in my earlier comment about it not being analogous to a month-long marathon, which
would be overkill.) Using all of this, I do not believe I am speculating, I'm using facts and prior evidence to make a future conclusion. I don't think five days of the viewership's favorite game is too much.
And what happens if the jackpot doesn't pay off? Letdown city, just like that dopey $100m sweepstakes deal that Hershey's shoehorned into an episode of Deal or No Deal.
I don't think it's fair to compare the odds of a board of 150 (or so?) cases to 9 slots where the chip might fall. The chances of one happening greatly outweigh the other.
