Not teh monkey! D: And now, if I may direct my anger towards KBGUY09: "This just proves that J!, WOF, FF, and WWTBAM are the only 4 game shows yet (other than GSN’s originals) that do not rely on gimmics and big money to entice their viewers." The Daily Double isn't a gimmick? I say it is. Have you ever seen or heard of the original daytime version of Wheel of Fortune? Yeah, the syndicated Wheel of Fortune has always relied on big money to entice its viewers since its 1983 debut. Especially when compared to the last two years of daytime Wheel, with Bob Goen as host. Plus, Lose a Turn, Bankrupt, and the Free Spin (which have been with the show since the beginning in 1975!), as well as the bonus round (which didn't appear until 1981), are "gimmicks" in my book! The doubling and tripling of the points in Family Feud is, by my standards, another gimmick. As are Who Wants to be a Millionaire's Lifelines. And how can you say Millionaire doesn't rely on big money to entice its viewers; big money is in the show's TITLE!!! And to dropzone5: don't get me started about The Price is Right! $500 for a perfect bid, the Showcase Showdown's cash bonuses, the Double Showcase Win thingy...yeah, those are gimmicks in my book. >_< My point: EVERY game show has some sort of gimmick! That's how you pull in the viewers and encourage people to be contestants! Too many gimmicks is what's screwing Deal or No Deal over, but at the same time, gimmicks aren't ALL bad. ;) Nuuuuuuuuuu! Not teh monkey! D:

They should bring a whole row of his ape friends while they're at it!!! Wanna see how crazy they go when the mob wins over the contestant. Is J Fred Muggs the 3rd going to be next?

If the monkey really does last for even a few questions (which I highly doubt), then they've just proven that the show is "so simple, a cavem-- sorry, a monkey could do it." And if the monkey goes out on the first question, well... there goes a few thousand dollars wasted on the monkey, the trainer, and the extra production time put in to work him into the show... So Alex, please tell me this was a really early April Fool's joke, since you know you'll be away that day or something...
