Tonight's Duel

#1 Post by TheConfessor » Fri May 02, 2008 7:31 pm

They're making up new rules as they go along. Or special deals, depending on the situation. In this case, I thought it made sense, and they offered him an incentive to go for another duel, and he'd get to keep half his winnings if he lost. That should be a permanent rule, assuming that the show comes back for more episodes. Maybe it's is the de facto rule, but they never mentioned it before.

They also had a question about locavore. Was that this week it was on Millionaire or did I dream that?

Yep. It was Michael Kearney's $2K question, last Friday.

Glad he had the willingness to go for it and the apparent "new" rules certainly helped. I would like to think I would have been going for it all the way but nice to know you will win a little something if it doesn't pan out.

But I thought for sure he was going to blow it when he started playing conservatively in both game 4 and especially 5. But it works out for him on what appeared to be a bit of a guess when down to the final chip. Maybe he knew it but they didn't clarify that at the end that I could tell.
