How evil is it...

...to love watching people lose on game shows like The Cube and Deal Or No Deal. You know the ones: where they risk their accrued winnings against proceeding.

Obviously if they have a viable sob story, I want to see them win, like they're going to use their winnings to fly their cancer riddled ten year old to America. But for the most part, it's more amusing for me to see their greed out stretch their ability.

Like earlier on Deal, some woman who was marketing manager of a department for a major UK store, yet knew fuck all about her department. When questioned, she just said if you have a good team, you don't need to know... In other words: she's your standard issue over-paid waste of space management.

She got left with the £1 box. I PMSL.

Lol.

I know, i saw a deal or no deal before xmas and the guy did extremly well for his daughters life saving bypass operation. (he needed 7,000)

He got offered 12,000 by the banker, why didn't he take it?
Because he was greedy, and went home with £50..

That sounds like an instance where I'd actually want them to do well though - and sad that he didn't. But it's the ones that obviously only need the money to pay of the mortgage on their daughters stables or some shit that I particularly enjoy watching fail :ymdevil:
