Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (Last Show Tonight :( )

[ACW]

:)
Watch the game; p-in-p WWTBAM :)

[Burgold]

I think they're just bringing it back because Slumdog Millionaire was such a success.

[portisMVP]

Thanks for the heads-up. Just put it on my DVR.

[ixcuincle]

Can only watch one at a time, 80's TV's don't have PIP

I liked Millionaire as much as anyone but ever since they started adding more lifelines the show has gone downhill. When night time comes I'll be watching the football game

[Heidenreich]

Fox should bring back Greed with Chuck Wollery. Now THAT was a quality game show......

[SonOfWashington]

It's also being hosted by Regis.

There hasn't been a $1 million winner on a regular episode since May 2003 (someone won $1 million on Super Millionaire in February 2004).

[ACW]

I'm hooked again :yes:

[Toe Jam]

She kissed a girl and she liked it..

[Sticksboi05]

I remember when it debuted in 1999. #1 show in the country.

Play at home :)

[ACW]

Wow, Carpenter barely looks like he's aged at ALL.

[ixcuincle]

Do they still have 3 lifelines or is it that crazy 10-lifeline thing where they have "Three Wise Men"

The original formula was fine but then they added on dumb lifelines like "New Question" and "Three Wise Men" , **** that. I noticed Lauren Conrad was on the other day though, but yeah I still haven't seen an episode of the 10th anniversary run yet.

They have Ask the Audience and Phone a Friend still. They replaced 50:50 with Double Dip, where you can answer the question twice (essentially the same). Also, once you get past $1,000, you get Ask the Expert. They've had a different "expert" on each night. Tonight, it's Connie Chung.

[ACW]

It's now 4 lifelines; they've added an ask the expert; kept friend and audience; but replaced 50-50 w/ double-dip (can guess again; can't walk away from the question though).

[TheDoyler23]

I like the shot clock, though. This show got tedious with people going back and forth for several minutes at a time.

[ACW]

I like the shot clock, though. This show got tedious with people going back and forth for several minutes at a time.The PRESSURE though :excited:

[ACW]

That sucks :(

[SonOfWashington]

Well we had our first epic fail of the prime time return of Millionaire.

[SonOfWashington]

She totally knew that answer. 94% I guess will reassure you for sure.

[ACW]

Yay, I came in 1842 out of 4743 :1stplace:
:loser:

[SonOfWashington]

Yay, I came in 1842 out of 4743 :1stplace:
:loser:
I'll have to get in on this tomorrow.

Too bad we don't have a smiley with an 1842 on a trophy made of talc or something.

[SonOfWashington]

Rachael Ray: not a Google user. Who knew?

[ACW]

Rachael Ray: not a Google user. Who knew?She said she was. Hell, I am, and I didn't know.

[SonOfWashington]

She said she was. Hell, I am, and I didn't know.
I thought she said she didn't. I actually didn't know either. :laugh:

[ACW]

I'm in. It says to log in 15 minutes before the show. Is that true? Also, give me some hints...like do you get more points for being quick to answer or should I make sure I know the answer before clicking it? Also do I use lifelines? etc.

Also, give me some hints...like do you get more points for being quick to answer or should I make sure I know the answer before clicking it? Also do I use lifelines? etc.No lifelines, and you only get one shot. There ARE points for answering quicker, but don't just guess randomly :silly:
Oh yeah, and on the computer screen it only has A B C D; you have to wait 'til Regis reads the choices (unless you wanna guess :silly: ).
7:45 is the earliest; any time after that works.

Okay, so basically it is just like being the one on the game? I can wait for the person to use their lifelines to help me answer a question?

[ACW]

Okay, so basically it is just like being the one on the game? I can wait for the person to use their lifelines to help me answer a question?:yes: But you get more points the quicker you answer. HOWEVER, you do NOT lose points for a wrong answer.

[cjcdaman]

:yes: But you get more points the quicker you answer. HOWEVER, you do NOT lose points for a wrong answer.


Well that is a key issue. I don't lose points for wrong answers. Cool. I'm gonna play.

[ACW]

Well that is a key issue. I don't lose points for wrong answers. Cool. I'm gonna play.Of course, you don't GAIN points for wrong answers either :silly:

[cjcdaman]

I missed the first 2 :dunce:


The first one was easy, but look..I have to go to the next room and see the answers and then run back to my computer to click the answer. I'll be better prepared next time. :silly:

[ACW]

[ACW]

The choices appear before Regis reads the answers :mad::mad::mad:
And I keep getting them right but decrease in standing :wtf:

[cjcdaman]

:coach: TURN YOUR SOUND UP! :coach:


Yeah, but sight comes before sound and I knew the easy ones and didn't have time to come back and click. It will change next time.


What place are you?

[ACW]

1929 as of before Stars and Stripes.

[ACW]

I jumped like 700-900 spots for knowing that last one: 749 now :)
What about you?

[ACW]

Missed the last one :(
Know this one :) I knew it was Shakespeare.

[ACW]

693 now :)

[cjcdaman]

693 now :)


Damn, man. Great job. I'm 1700 something. Again, bring it next time when I can have everything set up. Having said that, it ain't over!!! :silly: This is fun!

[ACW]

Now I'm 1960 :doh:

[ACW]

1955 :(

2,644 for me. You won this time. Again, I'll have it set up next time. This was my first and I was screwed. Very fun, though! Thanks for the heads up.

[ACW]

I WILL be able to do it tonight :)

BTW, IMO, I'd be happy if they brought this back every summer for like a few weeks or so :)

[ACW]

Who's game tonight? :saber:

[ACW]

Ken Jennings is the Expert tonight :laugh:

[cjcdaman]

I'm at 543 right now. All correct answers. You?

[ACW]

:shot:

[SonOfWashington]

Snoop Dogg coming out to Drop It Like It's Hot. :laugh:

[Toe Jam]

Come on, Snoop! This is easy.

Even if you don't know the name of the character then you should know that a test with ink blots is called Rorshach.

[Toe Jam]

I thought Patricia Heaton would be smarter than this...

[Hubbs]

Seriously, summer TV sucks. I'd be stoked if we got a few weeks of Millionaire in between all of the crap.

By the way, the "experts" have been downright awful the past few nights. Seriously, if Gwen Ifill (or however you spell her name) can't figure out that vultures circle and pigeons don't, she shouldn't be an expert.

[ACW]

I thought Patricia Heaton would be smarter than this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WybeLYArlXQ&feature=popularYou know, even if you're good at math, it's a LOT of pressure.

Who's game tonight? :saber:

[SonOfWashington]

I'll give it a go tonight.
