I do, occasionally. I end up watching Jeopardy more often, but I do like Millionaire. Glad to see Regis came back for the 10th anniversary.

I actually happened to catch this on TV. My dad was in the room and I just kept screaming, "It's Rorschach you fool!". And did anyone else notice that they spelled Rorschach wrong? :roll:

Notice how Regis emphasized the word "fittingly." If you know what the Rorschach inkblot test is, the question basically gives away the answer. My guess is that's why most of the audience knew.

I kind of wish he got it wrong. It'd be poetic justice falling asleep during the movie cost him all that money.

In fact, he... that is, his charity was guaranteed $250k no matter what happened.

Oh. What's the point of him playing before that then? He could have just done the million question if that were the case. Which it is I guess. But that would be boring.

He wasn't playing before that. Each celebrity gets asked one random question. If they get it right, $50,000 goes to their charity. If they get it wrong, the charity still gets $25,000.

Yeah but Curiosity said 250k which would be 250,000 dollars. In which case it would be two questions to the million. Did he mean 25,000?

Wait I think I get it. Are you saying each celebrity is only on for one question?

This doesn't make any sense. This show has gotten TOO DAMN CONFUSING!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe an overreaction^

Oh okay. Then my first point remains valid. If he had gotten that question wrong it may have been poetic justice but that would have meant less money for charity.

And, appropriately, the moral of the story would have been "Watch Watchmen".

You'd think they could have gotten that right.^ It's a psychological test for crying out loud.
