Cheering for a contestant to lose for selfish reasons....
aaron sica:
.....leading off this one with two examples.
1) TPIR's cliffhangers, so I can see "Yodely Guy" fall off.
2) The Gold Rush/Run on Blockbusters80, so I can hear the losing horns.
Kevin Prather:
Supermarket Sweep, so the contestants and David could walk together to the money, then be greeted with their hero's welcome by the other players.
BrandonFG:
Never been a fan of $1 upbidders (I know it's strategy but it still irks me), so anytime they get on stage I root for them to lose their pricing game. Because I'm petty.
jw2001:
People getting a Whammy on Press Your Luck, primarily to watch all of the various, funny animations. But of course it's particularly satisfying when the contestant is annoying!
Ian Wallis:
I guess this question could be taken a number of ways, but the first thing I thought of is there are some contestants here and there where I didn't want to see win (and not just because of whammy animations or anything like that). Whether it's because they're "annoying" as jw2001 said, or maybe because they'd won enough money already and I wanted to see someone else win, or maybe the $1 "upbidders".
I'm not really a fan of Steve Harvey's Feud (just because it's on so many damn times), but sometimes there are families on there that I'd like to see quietly disappear.
It seems more often than not the contestant(s) I'm rooting against end up winning anyway.
