I thought this was a promotion that was apart and separate from the show itself. Was it a prize on the board, or what? And wasn't it slightly different than the standard money volcano?
I always figured "The $100,000 Shower of Money" was a prize on the board. They wore a raincoat and stuffed the money into a little box if that's different.
I'm not wild about Dream Car Week on TPIR, but maybe that's something Wheel could use. Put a Lamborghini, a Rolls and three other cool cars on the bonus wheel. Or take the cash off the wheel and play for one, two or three cars. Or play for a house. Or a race horse. Or your own Caribbean island. They're not afraid to hand out money, but they do it in the least suspenseful, least exciting ways possible.
When the show started in prime access, it was a big deal when someone hit the $5000 space and picked a multiple letter. Despite increasing the stakes, they haven't topped that since. Maybe it's time the $10,000 space works as a regular space.
Winning $50,000 instead of $35,000 in the bonus, while it's nice for the contestant, adds nothing to the show. Instead of the million, they could give the $100,000 ten times more often.
