why bother play Jeopardy if Who Wants tb Milllonaire pays so well. I mean, each episode in Jeopardy you get like 2000 bucks or 4000 max. sh!t, 6 questions in WWTBM gets you 16000 already and any dumbass can do that.

I agree. It pisses me off to watch this guy dominate, and that someone with half his skills can go on millionare, guess a few questions and get help on others, and still win more than he will.

That's so sad ...even if he will still be a rich fvck.

True. I remember one episode of millionare where the million dollar question was, "How many miles away from the Earth is the Sun?"

The final question was something any educated fourth grader knows, or a 200 dollar question on Jeopardy.

well, I heard someone say that light takes 8 minutes to reach the earth from the sun, so it must be eight light-years away, right?

A light year is the distance light travels in a year.

WWTBAM - You have to answer EVERY question correctly. The penalty for error is much more severe. A wrong answer in the first round drops the contestant to $0. In the second round, an error could cost a player as much as $15,000 (leaving with $1,000). In the final round, an error could cost the player as much as $468,000 (leaving with $32,000).

It also depends on how you define success/failure on either show. Winning at Millionaire requires answering all 15 questions correctly. For Jeopardy! a "winner" could miss several questions along the way. Millionaire has a better prize system for "losers" where a contestant would leave with either $1,000 or (more often) $32,000. I'm not aware of a Jeopardy! contestant ever reaching $32k in one show.

Jeopardy! questions OVERALL are more difficult. The difficulty in Millionaire is not always based on the questions themselves, but more so on the fact that the player has ZERO margin for error since an incorrect response reduces most or all of his or her winnings (and also ends the game).

J! fans shouldn't complain complain about Lifelines. In WWTBAM, you get random questions with no categorization (up until the Clock Format seasons) and cannot pick an "easy" level for a specific question. In Jeopardy! the players know the types of questions in play, and can even choose what type of question they want to try.

Look at the contestants. Jeopardy wins hands down.

Wtfbbq noob necro

I guess the dumb show is serious business for one person.....

Consider that Jeopardy requires qualifications to be considered as a contestant.

Any rube from Hollywood Blvd can walk in and be a contestant on Millionaire, even Karen from the Internet. It is designed to reward average people with average knowledge colossal sums of money, with zero competition.

Seriously, did you just google 'Who wants to be a millionaire' to find obscure forum posts regarding your favorite show so you could argue with strangers on the internet or something? What brought you here, to this forum, to this thread, from 200 fucking 4?
