It's like the monkey putting his hand in a jar and clutching a handful of nuts, and unable to get his hand out of the jar while grasping too many nuts. So it is that the contestants greed makes them go for the full amount thereby drastically increasing the odds of winning anything at all.....
Ooh Good analogy.

It does make me giggle when the team say a player is good when really they are not.

If you are a poor quizer Cinders, the chances of guessing perhaps six questions right would be very slim indeed.
It would be like tossing a coin and guessing which way it would fall every time.....

Re: Heard on a TV quiz yesterday...

Caught tonight's episode of `Celebrity` Mastermind none of whom I've ever heard of except for the reporter Martin Bell. There was one young girl on who was a `vlogger`. Thick as pigshit - the number of passes for the simplest of clues was unprecedented. Too much involved in pointless social media to know what's going on around her.

How do they get chosen to go on if they're dim?
Do you think it's nerves?
