I guarantee you in the old days you had a sharpen sticks to get them to stick in the ground to make a tent. Is a counter argument the fact that we're not in "the old days?" Then my counter counter is the fact that I use hangars for roasting marshmallows!!!
EVERY tent camper I know has to sharpen a stick for a stake, there are always one or two missing when you set up, NONE of the tent campers I know bothers to sharpen a stick to roast marshmellows, all you need is a twig Writers at ABC must be 'camping' in Central Park, give this guy a break and get him back on, that would do more for your ratings than any othe rchanges you have tried., think of the buzz, WWTBAM would run for 20 more years if they just DID THE RIGHT THING
@HRMOKeefe I know. There were 2 correct answers, so they should have brought him back. I think they don't want to because one time they brought back a contestant and he ended up winning the million.
I think the million dollar winners are good for the show's ratings, its all figured in actuarily and hedged with risk insurance, and they dont really pay out a million; all large prizes are paid out in 20 annual installments, cutting the present value of the prize by 50%, but "Who Wants To Be a Half Millionaire" doesnt sound as good HRM is 59!
This is a retarded question. Most of the time when I roasted marshmallows over a campfire as a kid, I just PICKED UP A BRANCH and skewered the marshmallow on one of the smaller points of it. Worked every time. The mallow never fell off.
Who would go through all that work just to roast a marshmallow anyway? D would've been my first choice, but I think "cleaning a fish" would've even been a better answer than A.
@RussWWFC: In keeping the ratings up at ABC TV showings was to somehow do something to keep the people watching it.
Which was: Time limit clock, New Graphics, New Lifelines, new money format, and new music enhancements.
The time clock format was to increase the intensity and game play to the game. From the banked time saved from answering the questions will be used for the Million dollar question.
What's the stupid time limit all about. That's the thing with the American Millionaire, they've mucked about with it too much (though the Super Millionaire was quite a good idea)
Even the UK one has been tweaked and is not as good as it originally was
So sharpening a stick can never be used as a first step to pitching a tent? What if you were trying to nail the supports? Looks to me like it was the shows fault not his.
I actually feel really sorry for him, I don't think this guy deserves to be mocked like all the other $ O contestants. He doesn't come across as arrogant as some of those other contestants did.
Not all of us are stupid. Just because our president from 2000-2008 was as intelligent as a door doesn't mean we all are. A lot of us are very intelligent so you can just suck my cock.
agreed on them going on and on. this guy probably would have gone on about .. I dont ever remember using a stick to clean a fish so that cant be it, I also dont think you can use a stick to help you collect fire wood, I wouldnt use the stick to roast marshmalllows since i got a great set of skewers, so i'll go with pitching a tent. Oh shit i was wrong.
You know, the clock is the only thing that makes this game bearable. I hated watching people spend 3 minutes on some of the higher questions. Whittle is basically to sharpen, and then a stick to a sharp point. Last I remember, you don't do that to firewood, and you definitely don't use that to pitch a tent. He had time to think it through, 8 seconds is a lot.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
How do you blame the time limit?!!! The guy didn't even hesitate. He's just a fucking douche bag. If you can't handle the pressure don't even apply. I love the gaping fish out of water look of utter shock though. Fucking priceless.
What a stupid excuse for an answer- "for pitching a tent you use a medal stake"- if you had a stick that was thick enough, you could support a tent with it.
mm, i disagree, my first guess was the marshmellow. you dont use a stick anymore these days for pitching a tent, they come with metal stakes that get drove in the ground.
bite me fuckhead. you choose to shit on me with your comment when there are plenty of retards here that say this was actually a hard question? waste of my time sir, waste of my time.
Wow. Just wow. This show used to be cool, back when it was in the UK or even when it was in its initial US run. Now it's got all these extra lifelines, weird amounts being won (as in 25k > 32k) and hosts who just aren't interesting, topped off by the absolute worst game show change ever: the timer. WTF?
This is the only $0 win for which I believe the contestant wouldn't be classified as stupid. He was actually smart, but this time the question sucked.
They should bring him back on the show. It was a badly-worded question.
I remember on the Computer Game if you won nothing, Regis would show a check written as $0.00 and tells the positives like, "Look at this way, no taxes, that is 0 income my friend, you do not have to pay a dime for that, so Congratulations."
I would've said "D" too. I mean... you could put any stick, dull or sharp into a marshmallow, but you would have to sharpen a stick to shove into the ground deep enough for a tent...
You people blame the question? as soon as i read it "A!" my final answered.
