Sorry you don't get it.[/quote]
Don't be. I'm certainly not.

So maybe I'm not understanding: was your original comment meant to say that you would refuse to appear on such a show on principle?

As odd as that may seem, yes.
Odd? No. Still contradictory? Yep.

Well, if I'm not gonna convince you your line of questioning is being conducted under false assumptions and pretenses then I never will.

I was trying to figure out if there was a show that diminished the jackpot as the game progressed. Good example. The "Championship Round" mounted tension nicely, and didn't reward players for using the extra clues, in this case, song titles.

I guess I'm not done, since Mark completely WHIFFED on my point.

Since Face the Music's potential top prize remained the same no matter how many times you went back to play for it (meaning yes, Mark, returning champions), that's not relevant to my point.

If anything, Face the Music did a downward decline the right way. But no matter how many times you played the round the top prize ($10,000) never dropped. It just wasn't always that easy to WIN it, but they never made the starting value lower if you didn't get it the previous day, right?

(I didn't care for Face the Music entirely, but for other reasons.)
