So....
FOX NETWORK.
We've all heard the same song and dance on the shady things they will showcase on their network and how in the relatable opinions of others they may have a sheisty way of running the network. But I am outraged that most recently, I was watching the networks new show "Million Dollar Drop" & after seeing a couple lose $880,000 dollars of a question due to what I have personally found to be faulty research I think the company to should apologize to viewers, and the contestants and reward them with an $880,000 restitution. The question was "Which item was sold in stores first?" The given answer choices were: a. McIntosh computer b. Sony Walkman and c. Post-It notes.
The couple proceeded to play the money all on post-its. They were very confident in their answers up until the money was dropped and not declared the correct answer when placed out of the three it indeed was.
The couple ended up playing their last $20,000 and lost it thus, walking away with nothing when they SHOULD have been able to play with way more than what they had. Post-It Notes were first launched in 1977, don't believe me? Google it and you'll see the answer on answers.com
The way I see it? The country is in a recession and here is a network with a game show reasonably claiming that if we play the game, they'll pay us money making it fun for the contestants and the viewers. But if they're just using millions of dollars to tease people they should either do their damn research or think of a new gimmick.
