This is from a new episode that was on tonight;

I have to say I do feel sorry for this poor woman. I know that similar things have happened on this show before, but this one is just brutal.
This is not the only captured footage of it. Amazingly, the first upload was made minutes after it actually aired. All I can say is, welcome to the wonders of social media.
Unfortunate woman on Who Wants to be a Millionaire
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Unfortunate woman on Who Wants to be a Millionaire
They use a timer now?! That sucks.
"A little swordplay, now and then, keeps my mind off sheep!"
"You're messing with my Zen thing, man."
"Dreams are as portals,
flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

It took a while, but I'm used to the timer now. They get more time the higher up the money ladder they go.CujoSR wrote:They use a timer now?! That sucks.
Also, if the contestant makes it to the million dollar question, they get to use all of the unused time that they accumulated from the other questions.
And most recently, they got rid of the Phone-a-Friend lifeline.
Technology has caught up with the show, and since many people who are called will use the Internet, they reasoned that it is unfair since not all people have Internet access.
Because of this change, contestants now have immediate access to the Ask the Expert lifeline instead of having to earn it. (Its another new lifeline that premiered the same time as the timer did.)
