Millionaire Hotseat

According to the Fetch guide, the next four episodes are numbered 35, 39, 7, 84.

Do we really need to wait a month or so for ep 1?

The Nine version (especially the last few seasons) is a dumpster compared to this.
I absolutely loved it!!! Great work from 10 and Curio Pictures.

I agree. It was agonizing to watch. Needed the axe way earlier. It was so boring. This moved a good cadence.

What exactly are you waiting for though? Of course it’s not going to be the best ep, that’s a given. They’ll probably bury it on a low rating Friday night. Feels like waiting for nothing really.

Id say its probably to do with the fact they will be in repeat mode in a few weeks on Thursday/Fridays, so air the epsiodes with most questions first, in the hope people have forgotten the answers.

What do you mean the episodes with the most questions first? There’s always going to be 15 questions each episode . That’s the format of the show.

More big wins coming this week, according to Ten’s Instagram post.

Haven’t all the players been eliminated before leaving the last player to win the$1000?

But that does not change the number of questions being asked each episode. It remains at 15.

The removal of the highest remaining money amount simply equates to a tick-up of the question number.

I’ll draw up a scenario for easier understanding. Assume the first contestant was eliminated at question 8 worth $4,000. That means the $1M amount is gone but the $4,000 still has to be won.

So now $4,000 is actually Q9, $6,000 is Q10… and so on until Q15 worth $250,000.

But i thought there’s been occasions they’ve only gotten to 13 questions on occasion because everyone passed at some point

“The game continues until all players have been eliminated, or the final question has been answered. “

If you pass, the player that you pass to has to answer the same question that you face. It doesn’t impact the number of Qs.

Correct. The final question could be as high as $1M if all contestants still remain. But it will start creeping closer as each elimination happens.

One out and it’s $250,000, two out and it’s $100,000… until one left and it’s $10,000. If they give an incorrect answer then, they get $1,000.

Thats what i mean, so if the 6th player is only on questions 13 and doesn’t know the answer, they will finish there.

Game Mechanics: In the standard Hot Seat format, if a contestant gets a question wrong, they are eliminated, and if no one is left to answer the 15th question, the game ends early.

Just watched the episode on 10WASF.
Like the new tight format. Engaging, interesting and doesn’t bore me.
Will be coming back for more 10

…Then the baton is handed back to the earliest remaining contestant, who will now answer Q14 at that prize money. Do you think the 6th player being eliminated, regardless of how many still remaining, means we’re done?

No.

The only scenario for that to occur is all out at $6,000. Otherwise there’s always a reliable stack of 15.

I’m just stating hotseats own rules from their site after all the passes are used

It only means they can’t pass again, it doesn’t mean they couldn’t sit in the chair again.

Some contestants will sit there twice, and obviously conversely some won’t get to sit there at all. The latter usually get re-invitations to appear in the future.

Omg lol

Really odd that the questions all sounded like they were post-dubbed - and they switched to wide shots for each of them too which is a tell what we’re hearing and seeing might not be quite the same thing.

Millionaire Hot Seat averaged 481,000 for its first episode - 315,000 metro.

In 25-54 its rating of 161,000 was good enough for 10th place

I noticed this. Sounded really strange the way Rebecca was asking the questions.
