What do you think of this? I'll admit it is intriguing. A couple of thoughts that came to mind as we watched it tonight:
Does anyone else think this looks humiliating for the participants? I guess they don't or they wouldn't be there. But to me it makes them look a little like idiots--playing a game that isn't even close to real, having this jerk that runs the thing pull their chains.....in the name of money.....it's not going to be the proudest moment in their lives, I would think. I also think the producers "stacked the deck". In other words, carefully picked certain individuals for various reasons to make this thing more dramatic.
And now a whole bunch of copycat shows....aye, we have way to much time and money on our hands if this is what we create as entertainment. :eek:
