Is NBC really trying to piss us off?

So Monday night's episode started off great. The pharmacy tech. guy was doing really well. My family and I were rooting for him. Then not even halfway through the episode, before a commercial break, NBC totally gives it away that he turns down $250,000 and reaches a last offer of $448,000 (or something to that effect). They also mentioned him having 4 cases left in play, with 2 containing the $1 million. Mind you, this was almost 30 minutes before the show ended. It basically ruined the rest of the show. I'm really starting to question if NBC even gives half a damn about further whittling down their DoND audience.

Thoughts? Opinions?

There was an episode Monday night? I'm half drunk most of the time, but I don't remember seeing it on the cable guide in DFW market. Maybe our NBC station dumped it for something else. That does happen.

The NBC station in Oklahoma City dumped Star Trek, because the program director didn't like it. He also dumped the first 2 seasons of SNL. Whatta chump.

But yeah, promos should NOT contain spoilers. What ARE they thinking?

NBC has been playing fast and loose with the schedule, so it's hard to tell when it will be on. Be sure to watch the October 29th episode, if they don't reschedule it again.

Heh, I gathered from the previews that the black woman on this week's episode is going to win the $1 Million. I guess instead of tricking us this season, NBC decided that "honesty is the best policy." That, along with "Hey, let's spoil the outcomes of future episodes for the small fraction of viewers we have left!"

Blah

Now that somebody's won the million they can cancel the show.
