I always liked the idea of educational games like spelling bees and such...(I was on a 'local' version of the "Quiz Kids" over 50 years ago)...but now I see kids under obvious stress to 'win' once the prizes get pretty big, and tears and frustration. Perhaps there are ways to 'win a prize' that does no involve such obvious public losing for the others? Wouldn't make much of TV event, but they have other ways to sell their soap.
