Her reasons for going, ie because she couldn't pass up the chance to win a life changing sum of money, diesn't hold water. She could use that excuse every time she fancied a trip to the local casino! Her chances would be better!

A brainless game show, like the one she took part in , undermines the concept that college lecturers are discerning intelligent people.
