The reason it's a success is that there aren't many game shows on right now. This is for the mindless and I'm usually rooting for them to walk away with like nothing.
I dont like the show all that much but I gave it a try.
Forget the man crush. I drop what I'm doing to watch Zack Greinke pitch.

That's exactly what I root for too. Granted I saw about 15 minutes of last night and then another 15 minutes of tonight, so "I can't get enough" may have been mis-leading, but all I hope for is that the case holds $0.01 after they've turned down $250,000.
It's an actuarial game, so I find it mildly amusing. It's all probabilities and expected values. I was telling my wife the other night what the "banker" was going to offer each time, and I was within a G every time... And yes, it gets old fast. Too bad there isn't any baseball on!
