Are you saying that the host wants the contestant to lose? This does not seem to be how game show hosts behave in reality.

That's a possible point!

In the context of the final game, where there is no shadow of the future, it's possible to speculate that if the host is personally invested in the economic return of the show, their motivations might align with wanting the contestant to lose.

Additionally, in some TV shows and certain regions of the world, hosts have aimed to confuse the audience and maintain control over the show for their own advantages.
