probium: Sound design of Arkadium Millionaire is flawed. Once I get the final question wrong, I get treated to the $32,000 lose cue, NOT the $1 Million lose cue. Aug 19, 2024 0:42:37 GMT -5

FrankT: Good grief, nobody told me they revived Wheel of Fortune in the UK. Looks like I have something else to watch now! Aug 18, 2024 17:54:12 GMT -5

probium: For some reason when I click on a lifeline I already used, it freezes. Also the sound design is flawed, with the normal question wrong theme playing in place of the early question wrong theme. Aug 11, 2024 23:25:14 GMT -5

Has this ever happened any other times in the shows history?

It would be a bad break for the contestant, that’s for sure. Apparently the lifeline is considered to be used even in the event of not getting a response. This was perhaps most famously enforced in a sitcom dating back to US Millionaire’s early days (see the video below):

Total RPG winnings: $1,126,000 (70, 90, 104, 106 & 132), ₱500,000 (80 & 126), 300F (129)
RPG 67, 81, 110 and 125 host

I like Princess Peach.

I don't think the occurrence in a sitcom can be considered canon.

The only fair solution that I can see in the actual show is that the producers would tell you to try to call one of the other Phone-A-Friends that you have. (You have three to pick from, later on like five.) Like if the person at the switchboard cannot contact a PAF selection, they'll relay back to the director who will likely attempt to redo that moment.

I believe that's exactly what would happen.

Now if some jackwagon PaF hung up in the middle of the thirty seconds like Fox did, not sure.

This has happened a few times in the Finnish version.

On 29 April, 2000, a PaF friend of Jarmo Jalonen didn't answer the phone, so he called another one instead. There's a very short clip of the incident right in the beginning of this video: youtu.be/zKCyxWbEUzY

On 5 November, 2016, a PaF friend of Katariina Keinonen didn't answer the phone (his phone couldn't be reached), so they called him until he finally picked up.

On 18 November, 2017, a PaF friend of Mikael Nyberg didn't answer the phone (his phone couldn't be reached), so they called him until he finally picked up. The friend was in a ship at the moment. He gave Nyberg a wrong answer, and Nyberg walked away with nothing.
