As an old soul person for 2000, these commercials are nostalgic back when FOX used to be popular and gold at the same time including Greed. No matter how many times I watch this show it's STILL one of my favorites.
17:47 - Nope, she wasn't. Sorry about that, David. Bruce Springsteen turned down $12 million to have it as is a Chrysler ad for Born in the USA. Can you believe that?
I wouldn't have guessed that Michael was a "hairdresser" of all occupations (given that he has, ahem, little hair). I'm guessing that based on his build that he probably worked the door (and not behind the bar or say as the bottle service person) at the nightclub he worked at. This was one answer that had me yelling at my computer screen 😟
One thing I don't get about the show is when the captain goes for it after the $100,000 question, he/she doesn't consider "The Terminator" could eliminate a teammate. When the questions get harder, the captain could only change one answer. Why does the captain go for the $200,000 question considering "The Terminator" (they could be eliminated) and the freebie?
Actually, if you think about it, the Terminator possibly removing a player from the game actually makes it easier. How? After a Terminator match is played before the $200,000 question, the team then goes from being a team of five to a team of four, including a Captain, who will bear the responsibility of giving the third answer before either deciding to lock those original answers in or change one. If the captain disagrees with an answer they can toss one and switch it with something else. So technically the captain would be giving two answers on $200,000 if they have three teammates sitting in front of them. Also you seem to be forgetting that if three answers are shown to be correct the captain is offered a bribe of 10% of whatever the question is worth if they don't feel the last answer is correct. Plus they can use a freebie if they feel the question is too hard. Besides, the person the Terminator lands on doesn't have to challenge someone else. It just always happened more times than not because of the $10,000 bribe.
Most people would go past the $100,000 because of risk-reward calculations. Not everyone did; a group of college kids weren't remotely upset when their captain stopped there. But it was extremely rare.
@@AA-dd3we Throughout the entire run of the show, there were only three teams that froze after the $100,000 including one of the college tournament teams you mentioned. The other two were much earlier in the show's run and their teammates looked super upset that their captains chickened out of going for $200,000.
