Just out of curiosity I watched Ant & Dec's, Simon Cowell sponsored show last night.
Just picking red or black thousands are whittled down to one to play for £1 million.
What occured to me is if you are in the final 4 would you ask your other 3 quarter finalists if they fancy a deal to all get £250,000 whoever gets through to play the final?
A quarter of a million is a life changing sum. I wonder at that stage if they are all kept apart until they go live.
I would suggest it.

I couldn't be bothered to watch the second part of the show. Did winner actually get £1m or do they go through to some kind of final show further down the line?

My thinking is surely they can't give away £1m each week, that's absurd, where do they get this sort of money to give away?

The Tarrant thing made a fortune from the people phoning up to get on, even without Adverts......

Ant and Dec have "previous" with phone ins. They are presenting it?

Good film on Ch4 at 9.

Each night, it is on every night this week.
The only way they could get out of it is a magnet in the roulette wheel, and who ever heard of such a thing?
Absurd to think honest Simon Cowell would ever mislead the punters.

As far as I know, he won £1 million straight off the bat. I don't honestly think Ant and Dec would get involved in anything dodgy again, do you?

Why would they?

The BB contestant was a nobody then and a nobody now. Are they supposed to say to her she couldn't go on the show because she had been on BB because it would look bad even if she genuinely got through by legitimate means? That is just as bad.

Loads of the same people appear on many different gameshows over the years.

I didn't watch it, but why should it not be fixed?

Who was it from BB?

Britain's got Talent 2011 seemed fixed since the winner was a shock to everyone and the guy who was supposed to win came second because of the paper allegations of it being fixed. Irony at its best ;)
