It’s been a few months now that “Millionaire” introduced its new rules. Dmitry Dibrov informed the contestants about all of them, yet few use them all. Not long ago viewers saw how to answer the question 100% correct: take the 50:50 lifeline and then “double dip”. Now, we here at Quizzies think that it’s a serious flaw in the rules – it limits the contestant quite a lot (since you can’t bail or take another lifeline after you’ve activated the “double dip”; and besides, the original version of the game required a contestant to give an answer even if they’re unsure (unless they bail), so it’s a bit of a giveaway.
On a different note, a contestant has recently used a rule that allows her to let one of the audience members phone their friend and give an answer. Check out the video below.
To be fair, this was already seen in one of the special shows – the contestant, a popular comedian and TV figure Ivan Urgant (host of Pyramid on RTR channel in 2004-5) called his friend, a prominent journalist Leonid Parfenov. Perhaps the producers got an idea for this rule after the above has happened, but we digress. It’s a cool little addition that puts a little more interactivity into “Millionaire’s” gameplay.
