Over the last few months I have really got into to "The People Versus" quiz. This got me thinking could millionaire have taken some ideas from it.
If you not familiar with "TPV" it was a quiz show where a contestant would face questions sent in from the public. If the contest got the answer wrong the person who sent that question in would get the value of that question in which ever round it was in.
The contestants got 3 "lifelines' called flips. If a player opted to use these. The question would be flipped for one in the players specialist subject chosen before the show. This got me thinking...
In the UK version of Millionaire after question 7 contestants are given the "switch the question" lifeline. I that "switch the question" should be changed to "Flip" as believe that this lifeline would be better if the lifeline would be better if it switched the question to the contestants specialist subject. It would give the contestant a much better chance of advancing to the next question.
Contestants would still have to reach question 7 to earn this lifeline. Meaning the question writer would only have to write 5 question on the player's specialist subject. I would be so much more useful to contestants and may help nervous contestants take risks on their way to the million.
Do you think a lifeline like this would be more useful than a switch to a random question?
A terrible mock-up of the lifeline in the old style.
