the show's return would miss a $100 question by the people who let the news
out that there'd be a pair of millionaires this week? I thought I saw all
three shows, but I never saw an air ball on anyone's first free throw...

A typical internet geek, never sees the sun since he's indoors on the
computer all the time. <g>

Now that's how to do a geography question. Nice fixed reference point,
and a direction to go afterwards.

That's one scary woman. Most annoying one I can remember in the
relationship seat.

Great question. I read the comics every day, always thought Cathy
looked weird, never realised why.

I don't mind contestants like that. I know myself, I'd just be ripping
through the questions, trying to get Regis' niceties over with as soon
as possible.

On the second try. I was on that show. The first time, he said
"Socka-ga-wocky" or something close. They retaped it after
everything was all over.

I heard July 20, too.
OMG, Zach's right. That's not the amazing part. It's that he's right about
something USEFUL.
Eric Duncan, the guy who STILL makes Justin Timberlake quake in his sleep
despite all this marriage crap which just happens to be that--crap.
Sometimes mistaken for Mike Klauss (next one to do it again leaves with a black
eye)

If I remember correctly, when they showed the next set of contestants when Kim
got into the Hot Seat, there were indeed ten new players.
Perhaps they did decide to edit it out of the episode after all. I mean,
someone gets all fifteen questions right - and then follow it up with someone
who gets NO questions right?
I think that would be like how lots of AC-formatted radio stations program
their music these days - play a really slow song first, then immediately play
a really upbeat song afterwards without any transitional jingle in between.

>>Did I miss something? Weren't we promised that someone in the
This isn't AT ALL official...but the buzz is that the miss was
edited out of the show per the contestant's request. (Now, if it
happens on Tuesday's show, please remember that my news wasn't
from any official source!) I'm kinda surprised anyone might ask
to be edited out, though...remember, Llama Boy and Blackbird Boy
each got to show America that they weren't dumb, just caught by a
question they didn't know, on Rosie O'Donnell's show...and they
were each awarded new cars.

Regis said the lines open Tuesday, the website says THursday. We'll call
tomorrow night and see who's right. Calling before the show airs, i.e. between
6-8PM, makes the busy signals less likely.

Well, I guess I did miss something. Sorry, JS, I'll read your recaps more
carefully from now on!
One thing comes to mind. I am not sure which is more generous: the chance
to win a million dollars, or the offer to edit out a $100 question screwup!
Scariest thing is that I watched all of Sunday's show under the delusion
that someone would miss one: this was something I didn't want to miss! (I
was really hoping for it to be the guy who married the stuffed animal
menagerie...)
