Matt would you take the sure thing or would you go to the end?

I think contestants would be stupid to go all the way to the end, if the million was still in play, only to end up with something like $100. If the choice is between one case with $100, a case with a million, or a sure thing of perhaps $400k, they'd be stupid to take the chance of thinking they've got the million in their case. Even if their case did have the million, if they walk away with the guaranteed $400k, they're far better off than they were if they ended up with $100, and certainly far better off than when they entered the game.
I don't think it's an issue of having the guts to go all the way, even if their case does have the million. It's about being able to walk off the stage with a guaranteed 6-figure offer, and your dignity, rather than be laughed at for ending up with $100. Forget what people say about not sticking it out to the end. A guaranteed 6-figure offer is a lot more than most of these people will ever earn in there lifetime.
