-
dude Joe Millionare is old news...
-
I know, but it\'s showing it on tv.
"cough-no"
You can\'t get more blatent than THAT???
-
Can you give me some information?
Is this about Joe Millionares porn stuff? :laughing: What a loser.
-
They are in europe. They are probably talking about something else.

crazy Yer-opians

Apparently someone won on Who Wants to be a Millionaire by cheating.
Someone was in the crowd and was \'coughing\' the answers.
At least they were being subtle.
-
oh damn. So what is this? A trial or did they just catch the guy?
EDIT:
Nevermind, Google is the greatest.....

Hehehe, it was in England. It was on last night in Australia in place of the normal game show.
It was so obvious, the guy didn\'t know ANY of the questions, and he would just say \'I think its Sydney...hmmm, I think its Paris...hmmm, I think its Berlin...hmmm, but then what about New York...\' and then when he would say the particular answer, someone in the audience would cough. His wife was a physco.
They deserve all they get, minus the money.
-
You saw it? I read in two different articles that it never aired. Or did you just see clips?
-
Hm..
Interesting. I would of thoguht if I was the director of the show- no audience. A million dollars is a lot to lose by cheating, I loved that show, first time I watched it I was hooked. Some people are so stupid. Sad people had to come to this.
BTW: Thanks for linkage viddy

no the whole show was on last night.. They named it. "who wants steal a Millon. Or something like that. I watched it too, the dood didn\'t know anything. He\'s wife kept looking over at another contestant and then when they agreed on a answer, one of them would cough etc. He never even knew who Craig David was. He has a question "who made the album born to do it. He was saying it was A1 because he\'s never heard of Craig David. Then all of the sudden he changed he\'s answer after a nice little cough to Craig David. He did it through most if not all of the questions.

Over here, it was subtly called "major fraud", and that is exactly what it was. How on gods green earth did they think they would get away with it?
As for his wife...... I wouldn\'t trust that bint as far as I could throw her.
All 3 of them deserve everything they get (apart from the million quid).
send \'em down!!!
-
I watched it and I can\'t believe that they thought they would get away with it.
*cough-no* lol :laughing:
I\'m glad the bastard was caught, people like him should be shot.
-
hmmm missed it... i was playing some super smash Bros melee last night so i missed it :(
was it any good ?
i did get to see LEON on BBC 2 though :D.

That was nothing, did you catch the last question??
He went round the answers about 5 times, and every time he came the Googol answer, whitock clearly coughed.
Most of the questions were "I\'m sure it\'s not that.....I don\'t think it\'s that.........hang on, it might be that........... I think it is that *dramatic pause*............... "COUGH" Yes, I\'m sure it\'s that, I\'ll go for that!!!
-
The funny thing is that I actually knew the correct answer to the million pound question. I had no clue at all on some of the earlier ones though.
-
What was the question?
-
I think the last question was something like "Whats a number with one hundred zero\'s on the end"
I THINK it was that, I at least know that was one of the questions, but I\'m pretty sure thats what a Google is.

A google ?, I thought it was way more.

I\'m surprised someone hasn\'t tried to use much more sophisticated cheating technology. It should be easy to do a really quiet electric prod-device taped to your chest, connected to a wireless receiver. Another audience member could activate the prod, maybe even stay in contact by cell with another person looking up answers at a remote location. Hell I\'d try it. Are you saying you wouldn\'t try to swindle some television production company for a million. I\'m sure they\'re making it all back in the notariety this case has brought to the show.

I heard about that as well, but it would have caused interferance with the studio equipment (a little like mobile phones do when you leave them too close to the pc or television), so they would have been caught out right away.
