I still think the Clock format was a bad idea, if you ask me. No disagreement on the Clock format sucking the big one. All things considered, I'm pretty sure it was only really there to save on studio time and back-end costs, plus keep most players from winning a whole lot. |

It was still better than everything that followed it!

I actually could have found the clock format to be better than the original format. But that's assuming they started the clocked after reading the answer for D.
I remember a contestant also bombed too quickly without the clock once. Ironically, one of the choices was "Slam dunk", which was her immediate final answer until she realized too late.

If I am not mistaken, you have a YouTube channel chock-full of Millionaire videos, including those of the clock format, one of which has the contestant I just mentioned (she guessed too quickly, and then gasped after she realized what she just did..and she was also profiled in a GS Garbage induction). |

Wrong channel. You're thinking of mecha03, but my channel is not a game show channel (mechamind90).
I thought it might get confusing at some time.

Weakest Link may be difficult in some way. You never know how the players are gonna vote. I am one who tends to vote off players who miss easy questions (or if there are multiple easy questions, the ones that they *should* know; i.e. on the premiere, the Frosty the Snowman question was much easier than the George W. Bush question.)
Then, of course, there are those who vote off the strongest link, because they perceive them to be a threat, which I don't mind...but I would wait until it comes down to the Head-to-Head round (and, thus the Double Round as well, as that precedes the Head-to-Head round). In other words, they don't want to play against that player in the final round. (example being the Brady Bunch special...Florence is just like her TV character Carol...you know how it is, moms tend to be super-duper smart, and that's how the vote came down)
