I was amazed that a Lamborghini worth $350k was put up and sent right back to the warehouse after snake eyes came up.
Which part surprised you -- that the show offered a Lamborghini or that the show didn't get to spend as much time dwelling on it as they would have liked?
Correct me if I screwed up the math, but if the contestant never bails out, there's roughly a 1.5% chance of winning the car. Putting a Lamborghini on the line was a pretty safe bet for the show.
There's a 16.6666...% chance of the contestant failing as quickly he did. Also unlikely, and certainly disappointing for the producers, but them's the breaks when you play a luck-based game like that.
