Cheering at game shows
Quick thought- why does the audience cheer when people make money on game shows, especially the kind where there is more luck than talent involved? (Deal or No Deal for instance)
It isn't as if the winners are going to share their largesse with the audience. It isn't as if the winners demonstrated some skill or knowledge the audience lacked for which they are appreciative. They just picked a box, people. Just a box!
