People will do most anything for money. Just flip around the channels. One of the newest shows is 101 Ways to Leave a Game Show. Contestants answer questions to stay in the game. If they answer incorrectly then they leave the show in various ways. Most involve high speed vehicles or great heights. I thought it was a little bizarre the way the final contestants have to choose their answers. Basically it is handed to them because it is the only choice left. At first I thought it was not fair. Now on thinking on it, it just adds to the competition because the contestant is hoping the other is wrong.
Game shows have gone to the point of testing limits. I guess they always have. It used to test intellectual knowledge with trivia. Now it is trivia with making people do extreme things with their bodies. I guess it is good that these "crazy" people are doing these stunts under supervision and not on their own.
