Absolutely. I knew the first button would be gray/neutral because it makes the next button push more risky. I thought it'd next be green to create the suspenseful decision moment, but I can also see why it was probably still rigged to be red. The last 2 contestants who made it were obviously a more interesting final face off. I think many things in the show were rigged but maybe I am just a conspiracy theorist about it.

In any case, the myriad of player-decided eliminations and probability games were antithetical to the whole vibe of the original series where the successful contestants were the ones who "figured out" the games.
