Enjoy the show and the host but all the contestants should get some type of winnings. It seems so difficult to win the $10,000 and then to only win $1,000 leads me to believe the Master Minds are getting paid very well.
Also in the final round when it goes head to head with the five questions and there is a tie why should the contestant have to answer another question. If it's a tie let the contestant win the money. Again like the show and the concept but a little cheesy for the winnings.
