OK, guess I'm mathematically challenged, then. Of course she has to roll
again, at least once more (and possibly twice if #3 is a one), as the 8
is still less than the 10 you're saying she requires.


But she's bound to get at least 1 on each subsequent roll, so no matter
what happens she wins. Accordingly, as the OP indicated, there's no need
to bother.

You need to understand the rules of game TV to understand why they did
what they did. It was not an option to 'give it to her', she was
required to roll.
