Let's be honest. We all watch game shows for the same reason we watch stock car racing, Jerry Bruckheimer films and 'Jersey Shore': the inevitable sight of total personal destruction.

It all comes from that evil troll in the back of our heads who loves watching people suffer public humiliation for cash and/or prizes. Our moral center might make us feel empathy for some poor dolt who lost over $20,000 literally at the push of a button. Still, the troll really loves the sweet, tasty pain of total embarrassment.

So instead of fighting him, let him have his fill with these six greatest falls from game show grace ...

The Kid Who Blew It Off the Bat on 'Millionaire'
'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' is full of moments where some quick-thinking contestant gets the first question wrong, a question that couldn't be easier if the question was "Which one of these answers is the letter 'A'?" This kid, however, adds an extra dose of tragedy by not only getting the world's easiest TV trivia question wrong, but realizing it a moment after uttering "Final answer." His look of complete hopelessness is more priceless than his winnings.



The $1 Million Dollar Drop on the 'Million Dollar Money Drop'
The Fox game show gives contestants $1 million to gamble on a series of trivia questions. This couple lost it all on one question, thanks to the pushy wife who thought she knew more about sports. Watch her clueless husband collapse to her whiny whims like a Jenga stack on a trampoline.



The "Self Potato" Lady from 'Wheel of Fortune'
Not every wrong answer uttered on a game show is automatically hilarious. It's the ones that make absolutely no sense that make us roar because our minds can't fathom the logic it took to create such a ridiculous answer. Lolita McAuley had such a moment. Her attempt to solve a puzzle on 'Wheel' not only created laughter throughout the Sony Studios, but also across the airwaves and the Internet when her completely wrong answer turned her into an Internet meme. She should consider herself lucky -- most guys have to get racked in the beanbag with a sledgehammer to get even half of the Diggs she scored.



The Marriage Slayer Moment from 'The Moment of Truth'
This thankfully short-lived attempt to turn couples' personal problems into competitive entertainment may not have reached the scum levels that its Brazilian original reached, but it could still find ways to make their audiences feel like they had to shower for a solid week. The American version's most famous moment came when they convinced this hairdresser to sit in the hot seat and answer questions that would ruin the most solid of marriages. Then host Mark Walhburg dropped the cherry on this tragedy sundae by daring to ask if the contestant still thought she was a good person. She really should have used her "Ask the Audience" lifeline on this one because they gladly would have walked out on stage and screamed an ear-bleeding "NO!"


The Unsolvable Puzzle on 'Wheel of Fortune'
It's hard to understand how such an easy game show could have so many moments of extreme stupidity. It's almost unfathomable how these three contestants not only couldn't solve a puzzle that literally everyone's grandmother could have completed in 10 letters or less, but how they couldn't solve it even after all the letters have been revealed.



The Dollar-Over "Double Over" on 'The Price is Right'
Seeing a "double over" during 'TPIR's' "Showcase Showdown" is very rare, but when it happens, you feel like you have something to tell your grandchildren. This one, however, lands so close that it could become a story that your grandchildren would actually sit still to listen to while you tell it.
