You're a fan of the show and you just noticed that, Chad? (I assume you're not talking about the first tier questions, which frequently do point to the obvious answer.)Justen, an installer for Clearview Tinting and the father of 3-year-old twins Joseph and Ava, said he's been a fan of the show, now in its sixth season. "I would sit and scream at the television because I knew the answers. It always looked so easy," he said.
Turns out it's not.
"When you watch at home, you don't have the pressure," Justen said. You can blurt out an answer with nothing to lose if you're wrong. When you're actually playing the game, "every single question is worth that chance to win a million dollars. I would second and third-guess myself."
And the questions are cleverly worded in such a way that they don't point to one answer, Justen continued. "I didn't really notice that till I was on the hot seat with Meredith [Vieira, the game show host]."
