Good twist at the end of the show, but they need to have Rick risk something, as if I am him, just offering him money that I assume is not his to go away and keep his stuff

I really thought with all the goods he has seen he would be smarter. I did better than he did on questions. :lol:

I think that is sort of the point of the offer... if the goods are worth $16,000 and he thinks he did pretty poorly, he might offer the guy $10,000 to go... oh I see, your point is that he could throw any number out there and it wouldn't matter cause the producer is out the money, not him. Add a little more of a Ben Stein's Money element where they are getting $200k in bonus money at the end of the season, and that's what he is risking -- might work a little better.

Correct...

So rick is offering his own money to get back the stuff they took from him in the first place?

Of course they are getting paid big money for the show and the $3000 or whatever he negotiates is probably nothing, but if its nothing, whats the point.

Yeah, the show was just kinda ok. I didn't like it at first but I suppose if there was nothing on it is a
pretty low brow game show and the questions weren't all that hard in a lot of cases.

Yeah, that was a little of a bummer that the questions were too easy and they had like 5 questions total. Lotsa other bullshit going on, like Titus repeating questions, intros of the contestants, like anyone gives a shit what the guy does in his free time.

All the makings of something cool, turned into a crappy simpleton game shows.

Should have 1 contestant and let them go one on one with chumly, then progress to cory, the old man , maybe then v. one of the experts and than Rick.

This might have had some legs. I'd go Old Man first then Chumlee and Cory. Rick is just smart enough to be
dangerous but he missed a few that weren't that tough. Cory doesn't strike me as being all that smart. I'd
probably watch it again since I enjoy the show but there are definitely some flaws in the show. Good for those
guys cashing in on it though. I am not sure how much longer they will keep their show going. They show fewer
items coming in now and more of the group goofing off.
