‘Millionaire’ Contestant Sues for Second Chance
The question Rosner missed was, “What capital city is located at the highest altitude above sea level?” La Paz, Bolivia, is the world’s highest capital, but Rosner said La Paz was not one of the four choices he received.
THIS is grounds for a lawsuit now? Sorry, but I’m not buying it – the question doesn’t say “what is the highest capital IN THE WORLD”, the question was which was the highest AMONG THESE FOUR CHOICES. Anyone who has seen Millionaire for more than 5 minutes knows that’s how the game works. This yutz is trying to get the 15 minutes of fame he thinks he would have had, if only he made it to the million dollar question – that’s a lot of “if”s. Oy.
And that’s my final…ah, screw it.
