The lack of limit with a long streak brings heightened interest in some
viewers, and the ratings go up as a result.
And personally, I think it's cooler that after 5 days, the contestant
gets to come back for a 6th, rather than just walk away with a car.
(Some of the cars they've had, I wouldn't want to own.)

Yeah, but if the end is in sight, won't you want to watch to see the
end? Or do you just want to quit watching, figuring it'll be all over
when he loses, and go back to it then?
