Why would you think you won? You didn't choose that one with the car and you aren't offered the opportunity to switch to the open one, only the closed one. The only interpretation which makes sense is that he always shows you a goat.
- beepboopboop 3y agoI think they meant you lose immediately.
- city41 3y agoNot to mention Monty always showing a goat is what adds the tension and interest a game show needs.
- default-kramer 3y agoI disagree. If Monty always reveals a goat, there is no tension. You know exactly what is going to happen. Maybe it could be used a way to pad the running time of the show, but it would not add tension. "Coming up next: Monty reveals what's behind one of the other doors!" seems like something a game show would do. Whereas "Coming up next: Monty reveals a goat!" does not.
- city41 3y agoYeah, you make a good point. I can sort of see it both ways, I think it would depend on how the show handled it. Leaving it across a commercial break then yeah it probably does make more sense the door is random.
