Not So Tempting

I've been watching Temptation pretty much every day since it started. That puts me in a select audience of about 8 people. But it also means I know for a fact that they've given away one major prize in six weeks on the air.

Why does this show conspire to have its contestants win absolutely nothing? The best prizes take 6 or 7 days to win, yet are no more valuable than prizes Wheel gives away routinely. Contestants are obviously being bullied to buy every Instant Bargain they see. And let's face it, the producers specifically are picking players with limited general knowledge, so scores are ridiculously low and easy questions are missed periodically.

I find the show engaging enough to watch on a daily basis, for whatever reason. I just wish they'd make it a little easier for people to win stuff. There's none of the suspense and drama of the original $ale of the Century, and that's sad because this is a show with potential.
