As I'm working, "Let's Make a Deal" is on. A woman has four rolls of
a die to get 10 points or more. She gets 8 on the first two rolls.
So... does she or the host say "No need to roll again?" No! She
actually rolls the die!

Of course she rolls the die. She has to, because she needs to get
ten, and she only has eight. So, by the rules of the game she has to
keep rolling until she gets the ten she needs, or runs out of rolls.
Getting a good start is not the same as winning.

I think you miss the point, in this case it's "Not possibly being
able to lose (unless the dice are fixed!) is not the same as winning".
They MUST show her getting 10 so the "arithmetically challenged
people" mentioned in the header can understand what's gong on.
Besides they probably had more air time to fill! :-)

Well, if they want to compare her score to many others who roll the die four
times, then she should be required to roll the die four times. But this
depends on the show and its moderators.
