Does anyone else watch rooting against the contestants?

Part of it's how they get everybody to act so hammy on the stage, and parts how they shove it in your face: "these are GOOD PEOPLE from the Marines! They deserve this money!", and part of it's just the fun in watching the world burn a little bit I guess, but for me, the fun is in seeing people win a lot of money and then lose it back. I root for the red balls to take big money. The second episode where they won $1.4 million and then lost it all back was the best episode by far. Anyone else watch the show this way?

I laughed a lot when that dude lost the 1.4 million.

Sorry, but it's often funny when people lose big on game shows.

While I don't root against the contestants, I wish these game shows would have hosts that actively root against the contestants winning, it would make the show funnier

Ben Stein always used to root against the players.
