Lunacy or no Lunacy?

I don't like it when Deal or no Deal contestants are obnoxious. But when they ARE obnoxious, I do like to see them fall flat on their face.

Something about this game makes people act idiotically and make decisions no rational human would. On Millionaire, nobody would dream of answering the $500,000 question unless they absolutely knew it. On Press Your Luck, no one would dream of spinning if they had $40,000 (unless they knew the board pattern...)

So on Deal, why on earth do contestants that risk going broke continue to play on, passing up perfectly respectable offers? Have they forgotten that they required no skill to get on, and are basically being handed free money by the producers? Is $70,000 nothing these days?

The "Power Move" guy who lost tonight? Good riddance to you and your greedy family. I only hope that the rest of America delighted as much in your loss as I did.
