The game show Monopoly itself:
Pretty much the game was decided after the first round when the color groups were won: The person who won the most color groups (and thus, the most cash) got to buy the most houses/hotels which were redeemable for cash when Round 2 ended. I don't recall seeing too many moments when the second place contestant overtook the first absent a railroad hostile takeover. And the contestant trailing was all but shut out entirely.
It is because of Monopoly's broken "system" that I find the game interesting in concept but not fun to watch because its execution is on the whole, anticlimactic.
