Yep, that's correct! There have been multiple occasions where the guest wins the episode.

Nice one!
I'd say there's a bit of both in Portugal's TM. Sometimes the TM acknowledges the creativity, but if the execution it too off the rules, it doesn't get well rewarded. Other times, creative solutions really bump a player's score.
An interesting detail, though, is that in here, TM contestants are mostly non-comedians, and only four of them are permanent per season, with each episode having a different guest. I don't know how it is in US, but I find it really entertaining seeing well known figures doing silly shit and being creative. The varying 5th seat also brings a nice dynamic, and sometimes some of them then get moved to the permanent cast in following seasons.
Oh what, 5€ per withdrawal? That's crazy!
I know little about English speaking TV, so can't quite help OP, but I gotta vouch for Taskmaster. This show is just incredible. I've only watched a few UK episodes, but I've watched every single one they've made in Portugal (4 seasons out already, 5th in the making iirc). It's peak cheek-hurting laughter content. It's not sophisticated humour or whatever, but it's undeniably funny AF.
Interesting. Sounds like it can be convenient.
Over here, there's pretty much a terminal at every not-even-necessarily-super market and often people will check their balance or withdraw cash from them before/after shopping.
Haven't used it in a long time, because I no longer use the OS, but I have good memories of it. Okular has been really nice as well.
Same. Have multiple domains and mailboxes with them, really solid. The thing I love most is probably the catch all address (allows me to effortlessly create "one-shot" addresses) and the plus-addressing automatic folders (i.e. mails to foo+bar@domain.tld automatically go to folder "bar" in mailbox "foo").
That's very alien to me wow, never heard of such thing. So you essentially pay more with card and get the change in cash.
Is that usually "imposed" by the shop or is something you ask for?
Right, but what is "cash back"?
I believe proton also accepts cash payments. At least I've seen that in their mail service.
