[@lewdogzombies]

What I’ve never understood is why would you go for it if you don’t know the answer and risk losing £93,000?

[@johnmc3862]

It’s a gamblers mentality. Sometimes you’ll guess right. Just not always.

[@xana5649]

Greedy people

[@markymark443]

If everyone used that mentality, we'd have hardly had any winners. No guts no glory, as they say. That being said, if you have no idea and it's purely a random guess, you shouldn't do it. But when you have a strong gut feeling or are reasonably sure, it's a different story. That's how most people who won the million got through some of the questions.

[@Jimmy-ir4zl]

2:34, a Charles Ingram happened and that's why he went for it

[@glennchinyangarara8225]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@markymark443]

except in this case it was the wrong answer lol it does vaguely seem like Chris was somewhat egging him on to go for it, since he was determined to take the money as he wasn't confident in his answer

[@Cazkumali]

If I was stuck on the 250000 question I’d walk away

[@anthonybradley1555]

yeah especially if it was on a celebrity edition, losing £93,000 for charity? i would be so ashamed if that happened.

[@Cazkumali]

3:46 This question is extra evil because A: silicon is actually more abundant than aluminium, but it's wrong because silicon is not METAL

[@DanTheStripe]

That's arguably a trick question.

[@xana5649]

I would have won with this question

[@WhosAbigBoy95]

Hi @game shows, do you have the full recording of John Brandon? Or happen to know the episode/date? He's my uncle and I'd be really keen to see his full segment. Cheers.

I wonder if Chris gets told to talk them out of taking the money 🤔 he often talks people out of their initial decision

[@RogerJJSmith]

He definitely talked the 2nd bloke out of taking the money.

[@rebelraccoon9018]

Eh? He's literally doing the opposite with the second contestant. 'But you were going to walk away'.

[@sickpup820]

You can see whats on Chris' monitor in the bottom right hand corner. The little square on the screen you see there turns green if the final answer is correct., it turns red if the final answer given is wrong. There is also a message on there saying they're going to commercial.

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

I knew two of the questions: John Brandon's volleyball question (baseball has nine on a standard team instead of ten) and Ken Owen's First Lady question (without giving the answer away, I knew it because the aforementioned President gave the same name to one of his sons). Interestingly, something I didn't know: Kermit is Manx in origin.

[@giacomoandria904]

John's question was incredibly easy 😢

[@DanTheStripe]

I like how you can see the square go red on Chris' host screen to indicate a wrong answer at 14:13.

[@midooley543]

I cant see it

It's a very hard question because silicon is more abundant than Aluminium, but silicon is not a metal.

That first guy clearly had no thoughts for his wife or her feelings just sheer greed for more took over. I really felt bad for her especially as she was clearly upset.

[@UXB-p5u]

Felt really sorry for the guy who said more than once he wasn't going to gamble but CT didn't really encourage him to stop but just kept building more tension that of course is part of his role.

[@Klown84]

On a brighter note my grandad won £10 on a horse last week! Every cloud eh..

In the third one I would have said A) Silicon 😅, but Silicon is not a metal, but a semi-metal 😅😂

I knew that Theodore Roosevelt had a son called Kermit so I would've went for B, not sure if I would've risked it on the show but

[@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820]

I feel bad for the guy who lost with the baseball answer because first, he was going to walk away until Chris talked him into playing, and second, as an American, I knew he was screwed the moment he said he was leaning towards baseball. At least he took it in stride, and 32,000 isn’t bad, it’s more than you came in with.

[@rebelraccoon9018]

Chris did no such thing. Don't blame it on Chris. He actually said "but you were going to walk away" when the contestant said he was going to play. If anything Chris was trying to encourage him to just keep the money.

[@timothywait9457]

[@justinm.1]

Let’s be real, Chris influenced the 2nd contestant because he was about to walk away until he said what he said @2:00….why did he just say “final answer?”
