Oh Shel, I WISH all I had thrown at me was a crystal ball...Instead I had to sit through a lecture on the the difference between astronomy and astrology. Lectures suck 10 fold when your parent is a professional lecturer..LOL

lol, nah, she's a lot prettier and nicer than Ben :-) My brother and I went to HS in the 80's so of course "Anyone? Anyone? Beuller??" was a common tease for my Mom :-) That's so funny you brought that up..LOL

There was something that just seemed wrong about that woman not knowing Australia was a country. It rang fake to me. And why did she not use her save.

My husband and I actually taped the show and then paused while we watched and wrote down our answers to compete against each other! There were 12 questions in the last show. Did they increase the amount? it felt like it was way less in the last shows.

Anyhow, we tied! LOL!!! but it's on for next week.

Biginjapan... no kidding!! Let's see, seven continents: North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Australia, Antartica and Europe, right? And her answer is that all seven of those are also names of countries? If it was her first question I would have bought it....nerves. Well, benefit of the doubt.. maybe the 300 grand was distracting her ability to focus.

I agree. How can anyone rattle of the names of the continents and then miss the question?

I was sorry to see the last girl drop to 25 thou after she reached 300, she deserved to win some more money. However, how can someone stumble on a question like the 100 year war and say Spain instead of France (against England) ... I was screaming "France!!!" but lost and dropped to 25. Too bad...

Sometimes I'm stunned at the people they pick for the show! One didn't even know what "Transatlantic" meant!!! What's the criteria here, anyone can go to the show? Don't they have to pass some kind of test first?
sometimes they really make me wish I was one of the players there... to make that much money with a bunch of easy questions like those!! the temptation to apply is great... (my darn laziness)...

I swear to God!~!! What the heck are they teaching them in school??? That girl didn't even know how to spell "vowel"...???? Flunked so miserably... not even a cent!! The only 3 answers she gave were credit to the little girl... They must be picking those people on purpose, the show really wants all the players to say "I'm not smarter than a 5th grader" and well... for good reason!!!

cameras probably make people nervous, but from what I understand, the show is low in the ratings - so why have smart contestants who can win a lot of money? Keep them less intelligent and they can win less!

If I was ever going to be on this show, I'd fake out the tests the give you in the audition phase..
Answer only half right...

Get onto the show, and blast through the questions. Haha
Usually I know most if not all of the answers. The ones I have problems with, are ones that have to do purely with something about the States.

So I'd obviously try to get on Canadian 5th Grader...if they do it again.

Either way, I haven't seen this show recently because it was becoming to painful to watch.

Finally someone who won 1/2 million and was wise enough to quit because he would have lost the 1 million question. I was really hoping for someone winning the million, but it goes to show you that it's impossible. When you have already earned that much money you are not tempted to risk it all and go down to 25. And so I think we will never have a million dollar winner.

I see the Canadian version is just as good but the host doesn't have the brittle humour that I so like in the American one.
