I watched a full episode of Moneyball last night and once you've seen one game you've seen them all really, by offering the contestants the chance to cash out so often they're always going to want to be off around £25,000 - £50,000

Oddly you also sort of get an idea of where the ball is going to end up before it even launches because Ian explains which part of the launcher power will make it land in which spot at several times throughout the episode!  (Good old Ian seems to 'like it' for every roll though!)

It was also quite interesting for the second set of contestants last night who landed the cash out ball in such a spot (it sort of stopped on the middle line between a win and a lose segement) that the adjudicator would probably have had to come out and assess it

Sitting On A Fortune I do enjoy much more even though I think the prize money is far too generous for what it is, the problem ITV have is they seem to have done some sort of deal with the production company so if they want more Sitting On A Fortune they also have to take more Moneyball...

Hard to disagree with any of that.

I think ITV should probably ask the production company for another idea alongside more Sitting On A Fortune, as Moneyball doesn't deserve a third shot. It really sticks out at 8pm too.

Talking of prize money in gameshows, The Hit List could really do with upping the prize to £15k or £20k. It's quite a rubbish ending when most people leave with very little/nothing because they get stuck on just 2 or 3 of the songs. Last nights episode featured 2 players whose knowledge was impressive. The penultimate round was so tight because of how quickly they knew every answer... but the final was just disappointing because the money runs down far too quickly.
