    Besides having to actually land on the million dollar wedge on the wheel, you have to avoid bankrupts the rest of the way and win your game. Then you have a 1/24 chance of landing on it on the bonus wheel. Yeah, it's pretty much impossible. My solution is to have fewer spots on the bonus wheel. Maybe lower it to 16. Still tough but better than a less than 5% chance.

    Great video. WWTBAM’s decline here in the UK was always sad to me but I didn’t realise how much worse the US had it. The current format is way better than the second one but I still wish they stuck to the classic format completely. That Beatles question doesn’t really require exact knowledge of something as tiny and obscure as a car number plate. That number plate is infamous as a Paul Is Dead clue, so you don’t need to have memorised a bunch of car number numbers plates on a bunch of albums in case a question like that comes up. The Paul Is Dead conspiracy theorists claim that the 28IF refers to Paul being “28 if” he had survived, and LMW means “Linda McCartney Weeps/Widowed” (both of those claims are inaccurate anyway since he wasn’t 28 and he hadn’t met Linda yet when he supposedly died, but it’s still funny). So while I wouldn’t remember that by heart, seeing those options would trigger my memory of reading that. The Beatles are a very popular band and you don’t need to be a *huge* fan of them to have heard that theory, so I think that was a fair question, maybe it would’ve been fairer on the British version though

  • @bcschneider53
    @bcschneider53Ай бұрын

    The classic version was definitely the best version. And yeah, I hadn’t heard that theory when I made this video almost five years ago (which is kind of crazy to think about…), so it probably wasn’t *quite* as unfair as I initially said it was. It’s still not something in the same range as the $500,000 questions on the primetime version though

  • @hithere3897

    it definately was the best game show out there The only thing I didnt like after watching this video is that the contestants where not allowed to talk to each other . Yes the captian should have had the final decision (that makes sense) but why would you basically have to wait for suttleties and a contestant remarking its easy or he know it and nodding so the captian catches the hint and can remove a wrong answer. Obviously Daniel did not know the answer for the million, he based it on Curtis's remarks. The other thing i didnt like is when they offer the buyout, after the first 4 question answer, the next one would have things like a car. So effectively if the captian realizes he screwed up he can get a car but everyone else gets nothing? The buyout should logically be shared by all contestants not for the captian to take for himself. But you can't split the car in 5 or 4. And obviously they werent giving each of them a car.

    A note about the tournament bracket: in the original UK Grand Slam, the eight winners of the first-round matches were re-seeded according to how much time they had leftover in the final round. Had GSN retained this aspect of the format, the quarterfinal matches would've been as follows: (1) Brad Rutter vs (14) Michelle Kitt (5) David Legler vs (6) John Carpenter (2) Ken Jennings vs (9) Ogi Ogas (10) Phyllis Harris vs (13) Leszek Pawlowicz What could've been with these alternative matchups? IMO, not much. Brad would probably win solidly vs Michelle, David would do the same to John Carpenter. Ken vs Ogi would've been closer than the actual final match, and Leszek would certainly not waver against Phyllis Brad vs David would be a much more interesting semifinal match, as would Ken vs Leszek. Anything could happen in these semis, but would've loved to see a Ken vs Brad matchup in the finals. Oh well...

    As a European (I think that's important because im not too big of a NASCAR fan), i think it would be more fair if they were just more trigger happy with red flags instead of cautions at the end of the race. And maybe they can add some sort of rule that excludes the restart formation lap(s) from the total number of laps to have it still finish under green.

  • @jacobevenson8702
    @jacobevenson8702Ай бұрын

    All I want is NASCAR (and even Indycar) to have one single guaranteed restart. Seeing a caution come out in Indycar with like 8 to go ending the race is absurd, but seeing crash after crash through multiple restarts in NASCAR is even worse. In my perfect world, a caution with 2 to go should end the race, a caution with any more than 2 to go should have a single guaranteed restart.

  • @bcschneider53

    Aside from the actual basketball product degrading into a glorified three point contest, I think the biggest NBA lack of storyline difference is because players move to different teams so often. In the 80s and 90s, Bird was a Celtic, Magic was a Laker, Jordan was a Bull, Ewing was a Knick, Hakeem was a Rocket, Stockton and Malone on the Jazz, Robinson was a Spur, Drexler was a Blazer, Wilkins was a Hawk, English was a Nugget, Miller was a Pacer, Payton was a Supersonic, Thomas and Dumars were Pistons, Price was a Cavalier, Mullin was a Warrior. Not saying players shouldn't ever switch teams but it helps to have players identifiable with one franchise.

    I've also heard that the show was rushed so rapidly, there was a fire in the heat chamber while a contestant was in there during the first taping. Also, longtime MLB Play By Play voice Matt Vagersian was supposed to be the host, but walked out after hearing of the premise. Rick was slightly better in the final 2 episodes, but he sure seems condescending at times, like he gets excited about some of the dangerous stimuli on the show. I feel that the prize money should've been bigger as contestants lives where on the line. The Chair had its surprises and jump scares, but at least had a controlled environment and they cared about the safety of the contestants. I honestly don't know if this shows could've been improved if it was never rushed to the air. I find it funny that they wanted more scripted content, yet American Idol, which might've been FOX's biggest show during the 2000's, debuted months after the Chamber, and two years after Greed ended.
