Would you go on a game show you hate?

Would you try out for a game show that you hate (assuming you hide the hatred from contestant coordinators) to win prizes?

1) Fear Factor...ok, it's not a game show
2) Dollar a Second

I would like to have been on Greed even though I didn't like the show.  It seemed like an easy way to win fairly big money.  Unfortunately I knew one of the producers...

Also, Weakest Link is a show I don't really like, but probably would have gone on if given the opportunity.

In a reversal of your topic, are there shows that you like to watch but wouldn't want to be a contestant?

Jimmy Owen:
No.  Neither would I go on one I like.  I aspire to host a show but I don't want to be a contestant.

 1) I wouldn't take the opportunity away from someone else who likes the show.
2) The Golden Rule:  If I had a game show, I wouldn't want someone to be on my show if they didn't like it.  Therefore, I wouldn't try out for someone else's show if I didn't like it.
3) I think you're "assuming" a lot.  I hope that contestant co-ordinators would figure out that such a person is not someone they want on the show, even if they didn't specifically figure out that he doesn't like it.  In particular, if they have mock games as part of the audition process, I suspect such a player would play in a way that they don't like to put on the air.
