If I asked the person to be my lifeline and they said "Ok, but...I want a certain % if you win", yes. If not, no.

Edit: Just change the pounds to whatever currency you like, its all the same.

I would say I won money on the show

like you are having guests over (like a boss) and you gesture to a picture of you and reej and you give them the old shifty eye and say, "I won." if it was anything less than 1 million you immediately have to say "well, not the whole thing"

I'd use it on a question I for sure knew the answer to then call 'em up and tell 'em to suck on my freakin whole bag right on television and watch Regis fall out of his chair making the ![]()

I’d pick a friend who is consistently wrong about everything, use them to whittle out one of the wrong answers and keep the money guilt free as they clearly gave bad advice. If I was feeling generous, I might buy them a Sheldon Funko Pop as thanks for almost costing me a million.

I would put the million dollars into an annuity that would earn me something like 40k a year for life and take my friend out for a very nice meal at Applebee’s©️™️ I would happily allow them both a Bloomin’™️©️Onion®️ and several Apple-tini’s®️™️ and even a dessert of their choosing

Cant your friend just google the answer?

The first question should be solo and then the rest of the questions are answered with you, in studio, on the phone to a friend who is reciting the questions.

They should let you call random people, theres some randon phone number generator, and if you get a wrong question and if you find five people out of 10 random phone numbers that agree it turns your loss to a win.

I would phone an enemy, and then go with the answer they didn't pick I get the right answer and I owe them nothing

I dunno, say you were willing to give them 100000 for the right answer, then they should have to owe you 900k for the wrong answer. If they’re considered a guest of the show then they should only owe you the next tier down from a million.

Using any of the lifelines is a total beta move tbh
|

Use all your lifelines on the first 4 questions. Use 3 on the first 3 questions, save the last one as long as possible and decided based on the first 3 win/loss if your final Lifeline will be good or not. Robin Williams fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Aug 7, 2021 |
