#244 - Happy Endings
That's something I think is growing on me as I get older: happy endings." -- Alice Munro (Bringing Life to Life)
Apparently, the thought of 'happy endings' is also something network executives think about as well. I'm not sure what else to call the recent rash of Million Dollar Missions and other gimmicks we've had. Those gimmicks were merely created in order to have someone go home with the show's top prize.
(Of course, I would not consider that event a 'happy ending' but the 'geniuses' at NBC would.)
So far, every single attempt has failed thanks to me. Even those contestants fortunate enough to pick a million dollar case were persuaded to take an offer of a lesser value.
I'm quite impressed with my record of games without a single million dollar winner. (Nearly 250 games in the show's three seasons, in case you were wondering.)
Alas, sadly at SOME POINT during season four, my streak ends. I am not allowed to state when of course. (I have to obey the confidentiality clauses of my contract.) Also, that is not an event I would like to talk about much. (I'll merely mention it when it happens and move on.)
I suppose if I look on the bright side, some foolish contestant did leave with our show's lowest prize of one penny.
Thank you Heather McKee. You brought about what I consider to be a happy ending.
