1 million dollar prize needs to be increased for inflation

People are becoming bilionaires on the lottery now. 1 million does not feel like a life changing sum anymore. $10 million?

I stopped watching many seasons ago, when it was in the single digits. I figured they would have bumped up the prize money by now. 1 million is still a shitload of money though, even after all the taxes and fees.

If it was 10 million? I can't imagine how many people would try out. Good strategy to up the prize if they want more people trying out, views, ratings, etc.

When they have no trouble getting people to be on the show, why should they raise the prize?

To increase viewership, not contestants.

I doubt that would increase viewership. I really don't care how much the winner gets, I care about the game itself.

Most people go on this show to be on the show. I sure as fuck would. The money is meaningless.
