Thumbs up if you thought the kid in the thumbnail was some genius contestant lol.

[@dianad6090]

I thought he was a little person

[@BVAutoService]

@@dianad6090 / well he looks about 7 , so I'd say you're right!

[@matthewcasiglio2539]

I honestly thought that child was from both Stuart little and the vampire 🧛‍♀️ kid

[@SJtheMFZB]

The dynamic duo in the first bout was robbed. Yeah, everybody knows what a Chandler's wobble is. Meanwhile, Pa was reaching into the pockets of kid in the red with the specs. "It's B." "But this is real money..." ...that we don't win anyway, the yutz you're making out of us for THE pop album of that period! Why don't you tell us where the pollen comes from later on? 🙄

[@mountainjay]

Ha well the question in the thumbnail wasn't exactly one for a genius

[@ChiSportsNut18]

That second duo did exactly what Michael Shutterly did on his Champions run. Answered pistil when it was stamen.

[@richarddarlington1139]

That first dad looks like he's about as much fun as a tax audit!

[@averyjoycelynbarakudablock4139]

Big time. Not too willing to confer with his son who was intelligently expressing concern over going with a lifeline's guess of only 50-50. Because he was a science teacher, the father wouldn't even consider an alternative.

[@nintendonerdsvideos4727]

maybe cause he got audited by the first millionaire

[@randyporter3491]

I bet the first dad "Rob", keeps the family in stitches ! I think the last time he smiled, was during a proctologist visit, back in the mid 70's. He has the jovial personality of a spit cup.

[@BVAutoService]

That mother Lisa at the end was so loving. Wish I could meet a woman like that. Seems so pure and authentic.

[@Makinx]

Who's gonna give his name to the wobbling effect of a fucking frisbee? What kind of scientific discovery would that be? Of course it's Earth.

[@icebeamsmasher]

Actually, if the answer was frisbee, it would probably be only one of the objects that displayed this effect.

As a science major, I remembered Stamen as the male part of the flower (where the pollen is). The pollen is semen. Stamen = Semen = Pollen.

Man that second dad..

David could've just agreed with Peyton without using a lifeline on the fifth question.

[@marshalljimduncan]

I really enjoy Specials...

[@billyboobtubeboy]

The syndicated shows have a significantly smaller budget than the primetime shows on abc. That's why the questions are much tougher now.

[@markheying2830]

The Chandler Wobble Question was most likely a toughie, I presumably would have gone with either Earth or Soap Bubble on that one.

[@TheUltimateRare]

lol why would a soap bubble have a wobble?

[@xozzy830x]

I like how Regis keep teasing him about his girlfriend. 😆 I know the feeling! I was 10 in 2000 and this girl in my class phoned me telling me she likes me a lot and wanted us to hold hands and hug when I saw her tomorrow. Don’t know how she got my number but my younger cousin picked up the other phone and heard our conversation. Then I got teased about my “girlfriend” from my family for months. My dad was proud. 😄 Ahh the early late 90’s and early 2000s, the years when getting teased and calling people gay was a norm and we just accepted it.

[@ckfinke7625]

Indeed, for the $64,000 question, Bob Marley had to be among one of the two removed using 50:50, since he was long dead by then. (Bob Marley died in 1981, and Arthur didn't premiere until 1996.)

[@prototypejack671]

[@ace-x6m]

Okay?

[@randyporter3491]

I think I saw Rob on Comedy Central, or at Zaney's Comedy Club. Funny guy !

[@AbandonedMines11]

It seems that every time a contestant uses the 50-50 option, the computer leaves behind the two possible answers that a contestant mentioned earlier on. If I was on that show, I would never think out loud like that because it’s so obvious that when you choose 50-50 after thinking out loud and narrowing it down to two choices, they leave the two responses on the screen that you were leaning towards. This happens all the time if you watch enough clips!

[@ramibaghdadi1255]

It doesn't work that way, the computer always leaves the "best" or most logical wrong answer. For instance, the pistil is the female sex organ of a plant, the stamen is male so obviously pistil and stamen will remain.

[@doubledthread56]

@@ramibaghdadi1255 it’s supposed to be “random”

[@ce7.0]

​@@doubledthread56 It wasn't random at this point in the show's run, but it also wasn't a reaction to the player's comments. Years later on the syndicated version they started actually randomizing them, but before that the two answers that would be eliminated in a 50:50 (or in other words, the one wrong answer that will stay) were chosen in advance when the question was written. The reason it often seems like it's reacting to the contestant is that they typically chose to leave the most logical-sounding wrong answer up (especially at the higher difficulties where you'd actually be using lifelines), and a player who's talking it out will often be on the right track and be able to eliminate the most obviously wrong answers, so if they're going down the same logic path that the writers planned, the 50:50 won't be helpful.

[@RileySkye100]

I would have never known the $64,000 question without using a 50-50 myself. I've watched the show, but I never paid attention to who sang the theme.

Bob Marey couldn't possibly be the correct answer as he died in 1981.

[@lexigrimhaive]

I don't understand the second contestants. They weren't even half way thru and they used ALL their lifelines! And 2 on one question!! Damn. I mean, the son is ADORABLE, but still.

[@hessylaguna5415]

I know! He should've had more trust in his kid he seemed really confident on the Britney Spears question. But he just got outright trolled on the plant question LOL

[@TheUltimateRare]

some people do poorly. it happens.

[@jimduggan8962]

What was the father thinking going on the $125,000 question. The teacher said he was 50% sure but didn't say what was the other 50%. 50% isn't very confident at all. The kid knew he wasn't that confident but the dad was stubborn. He was also a gambler I guess but I don't think it was smart.
