Play perfectly, win less?

MG9x aired on ABC (and it's funny--you just mentioned it in the opening paragraph before this).

Fair--I was thinking of the period between I guess Bargain Hunters/Hot Streak and that was the dearth I was picturing. MG 90 was nice but a far cry from even five years ago.

Side note: a friend of mine (the guy that kicked my butt on "Countdown" in 2009) went on "All New Blockbusters" on challenge in the UK in 2012 and didn't exactly make friends with host Simon Mayo when he purposely lost the Gold Run in an effort just to win cash instead of the prize on offer.

How's this? Were contestants/pairs kicked off after a number of bonus prize wins? I don't remember that the cash per hexagon was ever earth shattering, certainly not enough for me to want to put off winning a star prize vacation.

Even with that period there was one ABC game show in-between--"(Celebrity) Double Talk," which ran I think about four months (?).

I think you're right that ABC didn't have a weekday game show for about three years between BH and MG90.
