We've never had two carryover contestants at the same time and they're both BBs!
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

That's true. 8)

What gets me is how TPTB assume that their viewers never even notice little details like this, that there was a carryover contestant on Friday who didn't return on Monday! All of Meredith's banter is prerecorded, so there's not a word of explanation. If a J! contestant is getting a break, at least Alex explains about special series coming up in between.

They didn't plan that. Remember the initial confusion about who was carrying over?

I know they didn't plan it. That's why it makes a mess of the schedule.

This is a first for syndicated Millionaire, but Super Millionaire had carryover contestants who overlapped the syndicated carryovers. The most notable was Scott Hoff, who was a carryover from February 27 to May 16, 2004. (I looked it up.)
