Is anyone else watching this show?

For anyone who hasn't seen it the premise is that they give you a million dollars upfront, you have to go through 7 questions and you move the money to whatever you think the right answer is. If you placed money on the wrong answers the money will drop and be lost forever and whatever you have left at the end you get to take home.


I got a little burned out on game shows during the Weakest Link/Who wants to be a millionaire/Deal or no deal crazes but I really like this. The questions are usually insanely easy but I think the fact that the million dollars is in front of them makes them doubt themselves. I've enjoyed it thus far.

I've been following this show. Yes it's a rather simple easy game. I'm amazed that some contestants are really quite stupid with those simple questions that a 5th grader could answer.
It's okay, but I doubt that it lasts very long. To me it's a fill-in show that I'm waiting between shows that I want to see. I doubt it'll have a long lasting future. The host is kinda dull and they drag out the drop way too long. Time will tell.

Well if the contestants were smart then the show wouldn't be on for very long due to lack of prize money.

Yea, I have.

The one last night about the Big Mac...come on!

Who doesn't know the Big Mac song?

They let 180k (I believe) go to waste over not knowing that the Big Mac doesn't have a tomato on it.

I don't understand how some of these couples/friends spread the cash around on the qs. If you are fairly certain, why are you putting money on answers that you know are wrong?

I KNOW! I was yelling at my television all last night. One of things that annoys me about this show is that there's always one partner who has absolutely no idea what the answer is but yet the constantly question the other person Last night she said she'd never seen Lucky Charms but when he said he vividly remembered a horseshoe being there she KEPT saying "are you sure?" and still put money on it despite him saying that he remembered it was there lol I so need to make a trip to California.

Yeah I hate how long they drag it out; I guess it's supposed to make it dramatic but I end up turning to another channel and flipping back later

I watched one and the question was how many US states start with the letter A? The lady was like California, Denver, Nebraska...me and my mom were dying laughing at her. I hate to say it but in most of the episodes I saw it's usually the husband who knows the answer and the wife who shrieks "Are you sure! Maybe we should split the money! Are we going to put all of that on that one!"

I've been watching, and it's fairly entertaining so far! But speaking of stupid contestants, what about that dime question?? I mean c'mon, the guy's in the military and even he didn't know the US coins?? And the wife was sooooo convinced - "I swear, it's Thomas Jefferson!!!"
