The guy seemed to make the classic mistake of thinking he was losing something he never had.

You could argue that he had $500k, cause he could have walked away with it. But he never... ever had the Million...

He saw it that he'd leave $500k on the table if he didn't guess... being that close. Cost him $475k.

That's my theory anyways... losing something you don't have...

God forbid someone has guts and went for the win! I agree 100% with him, what would feel worst?

1. Loosing $475K
2. Having the right answer and leaving $500K on the table!

The later would drive me insane. The former would just make me sad!

I'd rather go insane with $475k then be sad with $25k

That's because teachers/professors gravitate towards making C the correct answer. If in doubt pick C, unless D is 'all of the above'. Really if you're making a multiple choice exam you should randomize your letter <-> answer allocation.

I can just imagine this haunting him throughout his life: tough lesson for a prospective lawyer to learn about trusting in the intelligence of the masses. Ten years from now, he'll be selecting a jury and thinking to himself, "I wonder if this group of people would be smart enough to know what drinks LBJ liked..." And then slouching in his chair and scowling when they rule against him.

If I was in that situation, I'd ask myself first of all what I thought the answer was, and if the audience vote was the same, I'd go for it; otherwise, I'd walk.

Speaking of Canadians being on the show, anyone see the Steve Nash appearance? If he got the question correct, Regis was going to put the jersey on. So he gets it right, and Regis throws the jersey on OVER top of of his suit jacket, and backwards no less. Hilarious!
