Millionaire Lifeline Poll posted by Trip on Friday, February 4, 2000, at 13:34:46:
Ok, I haven't had the time to watch the show much, but I found that what some of the contestants do is rather silly. For example, I saw one person who used all 3 lifelines on one question in possible the worst possible order - audience, phone a friend, 50/50. He got it right, but only becasue he decided to ignore absolutely everything that the lifelines told him and go with the one that he thought was right, even though the poll stongly disagreed. I think that if you truely do not know a question, it's OK to use 2 lifelines in conjunction, but 3 is a bit much. Also, if you do decide to use 2 lifelines in a single question, I wouldn't go with both audience and phone a friend. It seems silly to use both of those at the same time. If you think that you need to use 2 lifelines, you should ALWAYS use the 50/50 BEFORE anything else so that the other response can be more helpful, as the computer is always right. Throughout the couse of the 2 shows I watched, not ONCE did the contestant use 50/50 first, it was always second (except in that triple lifeline thing).
