I believe Geoff. The biggest difference between Let's Make a Deal and The New Treasure Hunt is the build up.  The reveals on LMAD were immediate and the consequences were felt quickly afterwards.  TNTH decided to do a comedic skit between the decision and the reveal which lasted several minutes, and if you think some men would not get angry after being led on that they won a big prize but ended up getting klunked, then in the 1970s, you were surrounded by some well adjusted men.  Yes I know times have changed, but I'd believe it then.

Another Treasure Hunt question: how did they always wind up with female contestants when there were both genders in the "studio audience"?

Geoff himself told me via ICQ chat that males were not chosen due to possible harm they could cause from getting klunked, so not an internet myth.

Still a myth. Why, then, would Monty pick males as contestants on LMAD? Gotta apply some common sense. Have you ever heard of a losing male contestant kicking any emcee on any show?

I think Geoff was making a joke, not stating gospel.

Monty picked his traders on the fly, which gave him more disgression.  ISTR most of the time, when Monty chose a male trader, it was part of a husband and wife team.

That caption was probably not written by a human.
