The emotional nonsense is filler, nothing more. As far as I am aware the contestants spend a fair bit of time in Bristol in a hotel, the filming takes place in Bristol somewhere (probably St Philips) and many spend up to a month awaiting their turn. Having watched it several times the winning strategy seems clear. Decide how much you want i.e. £20k when you get that offer which you always do, take the deal. £20k for a months work is pretty good in anyones book.

I once got interviewed on radio and they said "congratulations, you've just won yourself £200!" - in actual fact, they interviewed ten of us, and gave us £20 each. No-one else complained, because they were all saying "well, they gave me 20 quid for nowt" but still, a total gyp - really, when played on the radio, it sounded like they'd given 2 grand away. The tightwads. All TV and radio is fake.

The contestants have been asked to make it look like as though they're going to crap their pants to make the show seem more exciting and to build excitement. Like you said, it's pure chance and so what if you lose? You came with nothing, and if you leave with 50 quid, whoop dee doo, a couple more pints tonight. Just look at the contestants - they're the kind who buy the lottery religiously, play bingo and drink cider from a plastic bottle. At age 42! Essentially, it's all a set up. All reality TV shows and game shows - FAKE! Either they're fakes or heavily scripted. Which is precisely why I'd rather spend my time digging my nose because it feels good. Or making shapes with my stool so good ol' Gillian whats her name can tell me what I had for breakfast. May I should put them in little boxes and she can guess!
