Raid the Cage

It is a fun concept and Jeannie's enthusiasm is great. But the one thing they are missing is there is no real way for the audience to 'play along' at home.

We can answer the questions along with the contestants but once they head into the cage we really don't have much of an idea of what is in there and what it is worth. We can see the large items but that is it.

If they gave us a bit more of a shot of the layout of the cage, showed us what small items where there, where they were and their price range, we could root for the player to head to that area and do the classic 'I'd go for the....'

As it is we are left wondering what they are grabbing and thinking "was there a more expensive item somewhere?" Is grabbing a go-cart better than a couple laptops? Is an LED facemask expensive? Is a retro-mini-fridge worth it? We don't know so we can't get excited about what they are getting or leaving. Even if it wasn't an exact price just a number of dollar signs indicating a high or lower price shown on our screen would work.
