Exclamation Watch Who Wants To Be A Millionaire tonight?
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire tonight was absolutely epic! This Harvard law student completely gambled on a question earlier in the round, and then he made it to the million dollar question with the bizarre last life line of Ask the Audience.



What an ending!

I was screaming at the TV "He got it!"! I thought I knew...

He looked like he didn't know what went wrong. Almost as if he was being fed the answer, and was shocked that it was wrong. Seems very strange to me.

If you're stupid enough to risk $475,000 bucks on a question that requires guessing on an answer, you deserve to lose.

The guy was a Harvard Law grad. If it went wrong, he would still do well financially.

Not like the previous contestant whose kitchen had no sink and no cupboards.

brutal.. he should have taken the money and ran.
He is basically risking $475,000 to win $500,000 with 4:1 odds.
If 2 of the answer were taken away, I think the odds of guessing correctly then become greater than 50% no? Or is that just with 3 choices, and one removed?

And please, feel free to correct me.. it's late and I am not great at maths...

I really felt for the guy. I would have done the same thing. Still, $25 000 isn't a bad deal.
