Not many people will agree with me, but I think the popular game shows JEOPARDY and WHEEL OF FORTUNE are a bit sadistic. On WHEEL when the winner tries to solve the final puzzle and fails, they lose a ton of money or a car. This has got to haunt them for ages or, worse, subject them to verbal abuse from a spouse or friends who thought the puzzle was easy. Sadistic. Now the news is praising Matt Amodio for winning so many games and making so much money. Though he is one of the most agreeable and modest winners, I see his victory differently. He obviously has a photographic memory, which is a gift not a skill. And every night he comes up against two other players with high hopes who go home with their hopes dashed. Every night, game after game, two optimistic players face ignominious defeat. Is that really entertaining for Jeopardy fans? It sure isn't for me. I have stopped watching Jeopardy and won't tune in again until Matt Amodio, nice as he is, is defeated.
