WWTBAM - Steve Perry's Run - Part 4

Steve Perry was a 23-year-old law student from Charlottesville, Virginia who appeared in the hot seat on April 22, 2001 and coasted through his first 14 questions effortlessly without using a lifeline, joining million dollar winners John Carpenter and David Goodman as the only ones to do so. He got hung up on his $1,000,000 question and couldn't pull the trigger, but still, $500,000 isn't that bad.

This is the final part of his run which shows his $1,000,000 question.

So you say that Perry who went through 14 questions that you didnt know without a lifeline is playing it dumb when he asks first then does a 50/50. Well when you 50/50 first, the audience only has 2 answers and those that have no idea will just guess which then throws off the %. If you ask first, the ones who know will give the right answer and the ones who dont know have more answers to choose from to guess which spreads out the votes.

There are arguments for taking 50:50 or audience first. In this case, asking with 4 answers proved that the audience really had no clue, asking with 2 gives you a false sense of audience intelligence.

@icebeamsmasher I was thinking the same thing...

[icebeamsmasher]

Why didn't he use the 50:50 first?

[LolGui]

LOL, some kind of machine.

smart guy.. i wish he won million. he solved first 14 questions like nothing then he choked on last question.. like he was driving 100 miles per hour on highway suddenly he saw the stop sign. :-(

The audience is retarded

[fckyoumotherfscker]

im surprised that they are allowed to use internet for phone a friend.

but damn, he shouldn't have wasted time with spelling "maiden name".

[Pkftmfw]

@missingnote Yeah that was retarded, as soon as I here the questions on the phone a friend I always google search it to see if the answer shows up in this case I googled "Carol Brady maiden name" got the answer Tyler in 5 seconds. :/

[IceveinsProductions]

23? This kid looks 33.

[missingnote]

This plan they had with the phone a friend couldn't possibly have gone worse. Neither was communicating with the other. He should have just said the question first, then the other guy would know exactly how to Google it, maybe Steve could have read the answers while he's doing that, unless he for some reason couldn't spell "Carol Brady". As far as I know, there is no alternate spelling for Carol, so it would have been hard for him to mess that up. What was he doing the whole time?
