Not to mention Monty always showing a goat is what adds the tension and interest a game show needs.

I 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.
Yeah, 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.
