Competition games have unwritten "pocket rules" that work like safety nets alongside official rules. Tyler, a participant, repeatedly predicts the exact number of contestants eliminated, and when producers use these intuitive forecasts with implicit rules, outcomes feel less rigged.
These games, the game where they have to stack the blocks, what happened if 999 people did it right? You didn't lose any people.
Yeah, so it's really twofold. There are things in the nature of competition shows that have things called pocket rules, rules that don't necessarily need to be said, but that need to be there as a safety just in case something happens. And then there's intuition. I've never seen Tyler miss on this. He'll say, I think we're only going to get rid of 200 people here, or 237. It'll be like 234. And if you can combine the two, you won't have to worry about dipping into any sort of side rules because you guessed properly.
