In a recent interview with TV Tonight, Andy Allen stated that the network taped "multiple endings" to keep the actual outcome hidden.

"It's the only way to get a true winner," he explained to the publication. "You can try and contain the 200 people, I suppose, with friends, family, crew, if you wanted to gamble it."

"But I think there is so much on the line with this show."
