Default How come the new Let's Make a Deal isn't done the way it used to be done?

When Monty Hall hosted it, they always used live animals for zonks; but with Wayne,they either use costumed staff or props. I know if I chose a zonk, which I wouldn't if offered a sure thing, I would insist on it if they used a bunch of garter snakes for a zonk. There's another thing I don't like. It's when they'll call two or more people up to play a game and someone's guaranteed to walk away empty handed based on their choice like the colored square game and the marbles one. They should always give a contestant at least $100 if they get called because they can afford it. I also hate that head to head for a car game because they should allow both contestants to sell their curtains. If I was playing that game, I'd verbally say I want a billion dollars for the curtain; and Wayne would have to go that high if neither contestant hit their buzzers; and I'd split the money with the other one.
Take care and God bless

I noticed this about Let's Make A Deal too as well and I truly think Let's Make A Deal should improve it's games and make new versions of the classic games of the Monty Hall version of Let's Make A Deal to make it more exciting to watch. I also have noticed that on some episodes on Let's Make A Deal when they have a game that involves a car such as 0 To 80 the contestant that plays it only plays it two times and decides to take the cash and it surprises me because they should make the contestant play as many times as they like and stop when they get zonked. A second game I have noticed that LMAD plays a lot is the car game that involves opening a lockbox that holds the key to a car and when I have seen it played it seems that there are few contestants that win that game and then do not choose the correct key and Let's Make A Deal should give contestants more money as a consolation prize if they do not pick the correct key. I think now that Monty Hall is no longer alive Wayne Brady's Let's Make A Deal will indeed take a whole different direction and add more games and attract more people to watch the show and indeed make Wayne Brady's Let's Make A Deal be a lot like Monty Hall's version to honor Monty's memory

I'm not a fan of Wayne's version. It feels forced and "in your face". I also hate when he sings. Monty's version was more laid back and comforting.

I didn't like Drew's TPIR at first but he's gotten a lot better.
