DOND is a five minute programme stretched to fill an hour (I assume, its ~40 mins in the UK). It must be a completely different (i.e. brain dead) audience.
Looking for a way to see it here...if anyone knows let me know

It is fun to watch. There is almost no skill involved. People are too greedy most of the time. For example it frequently enough happens that they have 1 six figure amount left with two or three cases to pick and yet they do not take the deal and then the six figure amount gets eliminated.Comment

The only skill involved is knowing when to quit. And that's not rocket science. It's entertaining to watch once or twice while your brain recharges, but that it is afaiac.FT.Comment

I don't think the game is the fun. For most, it is making fun of the people like the Idol auditions.

It's not an easy decision. I would not take anything less than 250k because anything less I would not spend (just save/invest).
So I wonder, how do you know when to quit?Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

They showed the Pilot Episode One last week: I was able to bag it then. I am up to speed on having all episodes recorded.

Surely the best thing about the Terminator TV series is that it causes them to jump past when Terminator 3 was supposed to happen, thus erasing it from existence. Single most effective use of time travel ever!

Who wants to bet the stranger is John Connor from the future? Iwas thinking this before the preview of the next episode.Last edited by High_Jumbllama; 4 February 2008, 21:36.Comment

Warning: SPOILER for the 02/04/2008 Episode....
Just before John attempted his escape from the Bunker, the thought occurred to me that the bunker could have been set up by the Resistance: they could have built their own Terminator Production Line ahead of Judgement Day. It would have been cool to see that terminator wake up and say "Hello, John Connor. How may I be of service...".
I was also wondering if the FBI agent, when visiting the Actor/Nee Terminator at his apartment might catch that the he wasn't bruised from where the blood sample was taken earlier. That would have been a neat hook... and almost certainly gotten him killed by the terminator if he had mentioned not seeing the stick point.Hey, Donny!
