People who play gameshows bug me with their stupidity.
Example: In Wheel of Fortune, when a contestant is playing the bonus round, if the first letters (r, s, t, l, n. e) come up and you know what a word is but have no clue on the other word or words, why would you use your 3 letters to fill the word that you already know?!
Case-in-point: I was just watching an episode with the category being People, and, after the first letters come up, he's left with this:
-----
NE-----RS
I take one look at it and know that the bottom word is neighbors, which he obviously knew because the letters he called were H, B, M, O.
WHY THE HELL WOULD HE CALL LETTERS THAT HE KNEW WERE UP THERE?! The M was maybe the only one that could have been up there, but why waste the other 2 letters?!
It ended up being "WACKY NEIGHBORS" and the dude didn't win the 35 grand.
Is this as stupid as it seems to me or can anyone offer a reasonable explanation?!
