I wish the producers or editors would not show, at the beginning of an episode, how the contestant is going to do. Last night we knew in the first minute what four cases he would get down to, so we had to look for something else to watch and just flipped back at the end.
If we've tuned in, we want to see the show. Isn't it more important to avoid ruining it for us than to try to keep selling us on a product we're already buying?
I hope somebody who helps to make the show reads this and prevents that from happening again.
Thanks.

Thank you!!!
That's driven me crazy all season, and last year too. I don't mind them showing "teasers," but don't give us a reason to ignore it until the last 15-20 minutes!
In the complaints thread, I posted on the same topic....

We have learned our lesson, we never watch the promos anymore, even the one in the middle of the show. We always skip them when watching a recording, and when watching live, we change the channel for 15 seconds, or just cover our eyes and chant "la la la" (much to the delight of my 2 year old, who happily joins in) so we can't hear.
Problem solved.

I understand what you are saying and I agree with you. I have seen promos and knew the contestant made it to a certain point. But I don't believe NBC is trying to spoil this for us. They are trying to intice us watch the show. Sadly, we are all too observant and we realize how far the contestant goes. I have seen some of these promos, however and I actually believed this time the contestant was going to win the $million. What actually happened was they had the $million suit case but dealt before hand and walked away with less. Then there were those times where I thought the contestant would walk away with a lot of money but the result of the clip shown, they end up picking a large case and end up with a smaller offer. I am not trying to defend NBC but I think it is hard to show enticing clips without giving some of it away. Just my thoughts.
