I care more about having a little sign showing the distribution every night (like Pocket, Bee on Price) than what balance they feel they have to have for budget, honestly.

Really, though...isn't being hard to win kind of the point of the $1,000,000 prize? You make it too easy (like, say, "solve the puzzle after picking up the Million-Dollar Wedge and win the Million!"), and you're busting the budget so hard it's not even funny. I actually think the current MDW rules are fine. I've said several times on this board that the million doesn't need to be easier to win. |

For the record: There are two 35K envelopes, and that much is known. From where I heard it, that amount itself is not discretionary. This is incorrect. I'm a contestant on 3/4, and in our pre-taping prep, they informed us directly that there are no $35k spaces on the wheel. $32, then straight up to $40. No breakdown was given, so I have to leave that debate alone. |

Doesn't necessarily mean the $35K wasn't there earlier this season, though.
