I watched that the other night, they were getting by on the dumbest reasoning imaginable..

[RudyRuetigger]

will fox correct this answer?

[chilidog]

I think that Fox delivered a loaded question that could not have been answered correctly. The Post-It brand itself was first sold in 1980. However, the company sold it in stores under a different brand in 1977. What if they put the $800k on the walkman? Would Fox have said the correct answer was the Post-It Note, because the product itself was sold in '77? I just think it was a loaded question.

[Mikail]

fuk that. they owe that guy his money and extra for pain and suffering.

[Mikail]

yep! Post its sold first in 1977 while the first sony walkman in 1979

[dwaechte]

That's ******* dumb. That's why these shows are so dumb... questions aren't deducible with actual knowledge or reasoning and instead rely on arbitrary and insignificant facts.

[tltaylor89]

what is the correct answer

[Mikail]

what is the correct answer

POST ITS. The one they put 800k on. The show said sony walkman was the correct answer and it's not true. Check for yourself. I wonder if those contestants are raising hell right now. Has the show made any official statement?

[eidolon]

I know, I checked this also...was confused when I found a different answer then the show...

[JerseyLove]

haha that is horrible

[The Bet Master]

Well, they lost on the last question so it really doesn't matter. No matter how much you have going into the last question your getting it all, or none.

[stealthyburrito]

Good ol Fox.....They have to have some winners working there!

I think it does matter. After losing that big question it puts the mind in a stressful state. Who is to say if under the correct circumstance they still would have answered incorrectly the last question? I think the contestants have a legitimate gripe.

You are dead on here. Now I'm feeling 2x sorry for this guy. He is really screwed.

When I first read this I thought you were pissed at me and saying i was dead on this forum, and that u feel bad for me and that i'm screwed haha.

I had to reread it 4 times to realize you agree with me.

[hostile takeover]

yikes. that's awful. i'd be raising hell on FOX

[Masu485]

He doesn't deserve shit anyway. He thinks he's some sort of genius because he knows the history of 3M? Any piece of shit off the street would have said the post-it notes.

sometimes the wording doesn't come across in print. If you heard my tone you'd know I was agreeing with you.

[Jimmy0607]

That sucks

[BRAVES1985]

what a bitch

[QuantumLeap]

That reminds me of the time I was channel surfing and saw the Bobby Brown/Whitney Houston show. Whitney was getting on Bobby about something and all Bobby could do is say "what I do?, what I do?, what i do?" over and over again.

[maersksealand]

just a TV stunt...less credible then that child flying inside the home made saucer-like craft. Those shows are getting more and more desperate to generate some audience so they made up stories like this...now we all know the next 3 days the whole puckin' Media will debate on whatever FOX should pay or not...and of course in the end they will pay, after all it's a black couple we talking about. Remember, FOX and the others are just "entertainment channels", they are under no obligation to be honest.

[Socrates]

Watching game shows is a Damn waste of time.
