goo.gl/71nUFe It’s never as easy as it looks on TV, which is where Final Answer, the official Who Wants to be a Millionaire podcast comes in. As the most successful gameshow of all time, it’s transformed the fortunes of broadcasters, hosts and most importantly, the people who play for the chance to win life-changing sums of money. We’ll bring you tales of what happens next when people win or lose - and find out some of the show’s secrets from those who work on it - starting with the team behind Quiz, the ITV drama devoted to Millionaire’s most infamous player, the so-called Coughing Major: smarturl.it/FinalAnswerPodcast

[@kalebbruwer]

They should replace "ask the host" with "ask James May". He will probably know the answer, but then you only have 30 seconds to get it out of him.

[@laur9251]

Oh god, that's cruel.

HAHA that's a hilarious addition

[@SmokeRzzzz]

[@arcade_matt]

I REALLY hope the USA follows this for the 20th anniversary and goes back to the original sounds / music. It's so much more intense!!!

[@phl6716]

Agreed!

[@joshandallo2170]

I agree too! US Millionaire is a shell of its former self. If they can somehow convince Meredith or Regis to host a series of special 20th Anniversary specials on ABC with the original rules, original money tree, and special twists like on the UK version, I’d tune in. Also, if Meredith were to host, I think she might be very useful as a lifeline (with her being a storied journalist).

This needs to be on weekly, Clarkson is TV. AND BRING BACK THE TRUE TOP GEAR.

[@JLTS76]

fuck top gear, fuck bbc. We have The Grand Tour now

[@RDR911]

Grand Tour is pandering garbage, tho...

[@painted5887]

RDR911 There’s been two seasons of grand tour, the second actually listened to their audience while the BBC never listened to everyone’s issue with the original top gear and that’s: guests

[@rockzs74r]

@Dysprosia guess what the real top gear is the 70s show. Which is very factual and not an entertainment show

[@yellowbat79]

I think grand tour is better

[@Blaze6432]

OMG, The UK set looks so much more slick and appealing than the American set. They even took away the chairs >.>"

[@ptrvideos4200]

Blaze6432 Usually the American version of a game show sets the standard for other countries to follow, but Millionaire currently feels like a cheesy knockoff of the UK version. I loathe for that set and the original sounds/music to be used here in the States!

[@blackphoenix9000]

The Fastest Finger chairs are still there, just not used at this moment in time. And there are 6 instead of 10 this time.

[@phl6716]

The U.S. version sucks compared to the U.K. version. It was awesome when it premiered and for the next 2 years, but it’s awful now. The music and sound cues aren’t nearly as dramatic as the original, the host and contestant don’t have chairs anymore, and they did away with Phone a Friend because the Phone a Friends started using the Internet to find the answers. Unlike the U.K. version, they didn’t decide to keep the lifeline and have a production staff member present to make sure the Phone a Friends didn’t use the Internet.

[@bencalebrod]

I absolutely loved that "set your safety net" twist. The US version should use it.

[@phl6716]

I like the "Ask the Host" lifeline. The US version is basically a shell of its former self: mediocre music lacking dramatic effect, no chairs for the contestant and host, no phone-a-friend lifeline, the list goes on and on.

[@Cyber_kumo]

@@phl6716 wow the US version must have really gone downhill if they got rid of the chairs and the classic music.

[@briantravelman]

I haven't seen the US version in years. Just like with everything else, we invented it, the Brits perfected it, especially with Clarkson as the host! Shame they do not show the British version here.

[@louisconstant8214]

@@briantravelman The British version is the original.

[@CaptainJLinebeck]

The new safety net rule is honestly pretty great

Bring this back as a proper show again

[@jameswallace8608]

Be a hard pill to swallow that. I bet her husband can’t even look at her the same anymore 😂😂

[@Isleofskye]

He was NOT decisive enough though if she was going to gamble she was equally to blame as she was torn between 2 answers anyway!

[@ryanwade6019]

[@shruthilts8018]

Hammond's replacement was such a big news.

[@spd28237]

How does she not know?

[@theforcer1762]

HAMMOND!!!!

[@dazzersfootballstand2002]

Oops. Big mistake to risk money like that but credit to her for having a go

[@nickedwards2425]

True, a few contestants declined to risk £16k at this level let alone £31k

[@Isleofskye]

Her Husband was not decisive but she was torn between 2 answers so in this case ( speaking as a Gambler since 1981 )she should not have gambled as how would she know which one of her 2 choices to go for? :)

[@JonatasAdoM]

Hammond!!!

[@Xighor]

Should have listened to the husband Why bother phoning him if she won't listen?

[@thecompanioncube4211]

Everything is always good in hindsight... But you gotta give it to the pressure on her. And her husband was not even sure about it...

[@Xighor]

Sammed Pandharkar She had no idea, her husband wasn't 100% sure but I thinks it might be, big difference So basically take a wild guess or listen to your husband who is probably more into politics and take his assumption even if he isn't 100%

[@zuzomatyi]

thats just called a women....

[@undefinederror40404]

She and Jeremy both felt like it was answer D and her husband was just as doubtfull as they were. One person thinking it might be C, or two people thinking it might be D? It's quite understandable that she went with answer D...

[@vivalafelix681]

I think she was listening to hear if her husband was sure of the answer, as in he didn't take 5 seconds to answer and answered unsuringly

[@taracurry5816]

I guess this proves the UK government isn't as messed up as the US yet...I'm from the US and this is the first time I've known who the secretary of Housing and Urban Development is.

First time Hammond was the right answer for anything.

Why would u gamble that kind of money on a 1 in 4 chance when u clearly have no clue what the answer is madness.

Because that's the show

[@cosminbadea3017]

Nu noi hb

[@Isleofskye]

You only take CALCULATED risks. She might as well as used a pin as she did not know the answer. I have NEVER got a problem with someone not knowing but her Husband said one answer and she was torn between 2 other answers so there were 3 Real possible answers so 1 in 3 ( assuming the 4th option was wrong) and terrible odds to only win TWICE your money. You are gambling 31 out of 32 Thousand Pounds to win Double the money. You lose 31 times your money if wrong on a 1 in 3 chance...

[@MrOzzy281]

Painful

[@gameshowguy2000]

Oh, £32,000 is no longer a safe haven.

[@markymark443]

yes, they changed the format so that the first safety net is still £1,000 as before, but the second safety net is chosen by the contestant before the question (so for example if they have £8,000, they can set £16,000 as the safety net so that, if they answer the following question correctly, they are guaranteed that amount). In this case, she set £64,000 as her safety net, but she didn't answer that question correctly so she couldn't get there. You could theoretically set your second safety net anywhere between £2,000 and £500,000. I quite like this format, and it's definitely much better than what they did with the game on the US show (I don't even recognize it anymore).

[@Isleofskye]

Neither is St, Kitts....It's all happening, isn't it...

How can a host give an opinion?

[@occono3543]

New-ish lifeline. The Jimmy Kimmel US revival had it too.

[@Gonken88]

Well that was dumb.

[@djpressure1234YT]

It’s £32,000?

[@luigihoratio5101]

She was gunning for £64k Had she set her safety net on £32,000 she wouldn't have lost anything. But she set her safety net on the question she blew costing her all (of her £32k) but £1k
