Golden Balls had the same "problem", but even if you pinched the whole £300 or whatever was in, it just became a nice day out. Its when you get into the range of four, five, even six figure jackpots and somebody nicked the lot that it left a nasty taste in the mouth.
All Divided did was take that to its logical conclusion, especially if you can't agree on how to split the pot - and when you had those people who were adamant they were having the lion's share of the pot come what what may, it was usually obvious the whole group would end up with sod all in due course.
I sometimes wonder if there were major fisticuffs or verbal confrontations after the cameras stopped rolling on Golden Balls - especially as the post game segments were clearly done separately on the occasions where somebody's just had £20k pulled out from under them...
All you've said is mostly why I don't think there is enough of an appetite for these types of shows returning. The supposed success of The Traitors may have tickled the fancy of some people in TV but contestants openly having money stolen from them is problematic in so many ways and this isn't twenty years ago where viewers are naive and people are powerless and can't take to social media and say what they think and/or reveal what goes on behind the scenes.
