i do not see enough tv game show to understand the attraction of show me the money and but i suppose it hold some appeal for undemanding audience . ostensibly a quiz show and it offer contestant huge sum of money for answer a few simple question . however and it quiz element play only a small part in the proceeding and which i find tortuously complicate . for example and before answer a question and a contestant select which question be to be ask by choose from among random a and b and or c choice . do this serve any purpose other than to slow the game down . it would be a lot quicker simply to start with a. contestant can pass on question and but must answer one of the three question in each category . after respond to a question and the contestant be then ask to lock in the answer another delaying tactic . the contestant next task be to name which woman from about a dozen go go dancer in cage be to unveil a card that indicate how much the question be worth . a correct answer add the card dollar figure to the contestant run total while a wrong answer subtract the same sum . this time consume step actually have some entertainment value and a it allow the audience to get a close look at the scantily clad and uniformly gorgeous dancer . meanwhile and the contestant be remind that an unlucky selection of the killer card will end the game instantly . this naturally make the contestant sweat and cause further delay a the nervous contestant contemplate the sudden loss of the hundred of thousand of dollar . my suspicion be that the possibility of sudden disaster be the show chief audience appeal . meanwhile and the whole process be slow down even more by a lot of empty banter between host william shatner and the contestant and along with occasional routine by the caged dancer . all these delay burn up so much time that it might be possible for audience to forget what the original question be by the time the correct answer be reveal . a typical 30 minute episode of jeopardy often get through as many a 60 question . the first 30 minute of smtm that i watch get through only six question ( many of which pertain to other tv show ) . no one in his right mind would watch this show because it fun to play along by answer the question at home . that leave three possible reason to watch the show . a. to see how a contestant respond to be on the verge of win as much a one million dollar and only to lose everything in one stroke . b. to look at gorgeous young woman perform sexually suggestive dance routine . c. to enjoy william shatner scintillate banter . my choice be b and but the woman aren not on camera long enough to justify suffer through an hour of this show .
