Gotta Question

I see they are now playing re-runs of this show on the game show channel. Thank God for DVR. The talking and crying and shots of the audience and the hard luck stories drive me crazy. I saw the couples episode tonight. They were two strangers who met at Minute To Win It auditions. So my question is whatever amount they leave with do they split it or do they get that much each? For example when they leave with 50,000 is that to be split between the two contestants who are sometime strangers and not friends or relatives.

Having them paired up when they dont know each other seems unfair. If one person wants to quit and the other person wants to continue on, someone has to give in and since your playing with a stranger and not a friend or family member what do you do? Do they each get the amount they won or do they split the amount they won?

This show could have survived if they had left off the crying, the excessive talking, the stalling by the host, the shots of the crowd, the sad story from home, the phone call from a relative that they love so much.

When you see them sometimes play 8 games in 1 hour and each game is a minute long that tells you something when 52 minutes are spent on commercials and talking and only 8 minutes playing games. Thats what killed this show. It really was a good game show which offered variety but the slowness of it killed this show.
