  • It’s more fun to watch people win than watch them constantly lose. The whole point of a TV show is to get people to watch. I don’t mind if a game show is rigged, as long as it’s rigged equally in favor of all contestants.

    Plus, if I remember correctly, Deal or No Deal only has one contestant at a time. Contestants aren’t competing against each other, so you can nudge the game in the contestant’s favor without screwing other contestants.
















  • On the question of fairness, Kaur told the court she had not been “sufficiently put on notice” that the case would be about whether she completed renovations to the property in a timely manner, rather than whether she had attempted to re-rent the property to her former tenant.

    “Wahhh! Nobody held my hand and explained the law to me! That’s not fair!”

    Taylor was unimpressed by this argument, writing in his decision that its “fundamental weakness” was that it was based primarily on “her own ignorance about the applicable law, rather than any specific procedural steps taken or not taken by the arbitrator.”

    Say it with me, kids: “ignorance of the law is not an excuse!”
