Millionaire posted a new video with a teaser showing the money tree and for the first 10 questions the dollar amounts kept shuffling. And there's no $50K question, it goes from $25K to $100K. Could this mean the path to a million will not be the same for two people. And it looks like theres 14 questions and I don't see dollar amounts highlighted to signify it's a milestone question, so maybe they removed it. From the looks of it, you could theoretically win $25k on the first question and playing for $200 the next. Here's the money tree before the bottom 10 questions started to shuffle. Maybe that's what they put in the place of 2 rows of seats A GIANT SLOT MACHINE TO SHUFFLE THE MONEY TREE. (sarcasm)
$1 Million
$500,000
$250,000
$100,000
-----------
$25,000
$15,000
$12,500
$7,500
$5,000
$3,000
$2,000
$1,000
$500
$100

That would be a ridiculously stupid idea.

Since it bears no resemblance to the show some of us were on about ten years ago, I wonder if we're eligible to try out for this new show, whatever they call it.

Has there ever been a change to the show that did not make it worse? Seriously, I can't think of one.

Adding the Switch The Question lifeline was fine, in itself, although it did come at the cost of lowering the value of the $32K, $64K and $125K levels.

We're speculating based on the teaser.
Does anyone really know they're shuffling the lower money amounts?
I can't even begin to imagine how that would work.

Well, gosh, just what did TPTB expect that teaser to accomplish?
Yes, yes, we're getting
excited, just like they want us to be.
Okay, maybe not
exactly like they want.

It is a good use of free mass media to stir us up.

I'm not excited.
Who's excited?
I am very calm.

So then we're calmly speculating based on the teaser.
What's wrong with that?

Wouldn't that require a 10 reel though instead of a 3 reel?

I'm intrigued, but I'm having an "oh crap!" moment on behalf of my site's statistics database. I fear I've got some serious reprogramming coming my way before September 13.
Well, I've handled switch the question and the Tournament of 10, and I'm already prepared for new lifelines. Bring it, Meredith!

In exchange, will the APs think outside of the casting box?
