His wife is NEVER going to let him live that down, and nor should she. Went from 218,000 to 10 bucks.

1. Their is something weird about the psychology involved in that show that

makes a large portion of the contestants make VERY stupid decisions.

2. One of my neighbors is going to be on it late April/early May.

They don't seem terribly 'ecstatic' and haven't bought anything new, so who knows?

I can't wait to watch it!!!

:bounce:

3. So it's already been taped and they either lost or are being quiet?

4. It's already been taped.

You know, like Jeopardy. One of my neighbors years ago was on Jeopardy and he couldn't tell how things turned out.

Turns out, he did pretty well, but his wife still left him. :eyes:

5. That show brings out the misanthrope in me

I yell "Take the deal, you greedy fuck" at the contestants constantly. When they don't and lose money, I laugh at their misfortune. When they do, I hope that their case is the million.

There's just something about it.

6. The people on the show make stupid mistakes

because most people are basically math illiterate, and this is especially true of probabilities.

A good rule of thumb should be take the offer anytime it exceeds your annual salary, or maybe the price of a home in your area.
