Bankrate: What do you think of contestants who risk everything and end up with nothing?

Howie Mandel: I understand it. I wouldn't do it, but I do understand it. People who go too far and go all the way, what they'll think is, 'I got a 1-in-26 shot at hitting a million dollars.' Even if you have three cases to open and someone's offered you $100,000, the million dollars is still up there…And you know what? That "go for it" attitude is what made this country great. No pain, no gain. No risk, no reward.
