Best part is he got this question RIGHT. He was _almost_ sure it was Madrid and knew it wasn't Lisbon, so he baited the showrunners into giving him those two choices and then locked in "Madrid", the correct answer.
Everyone knew about this back in the day. That's why people wised up and stopped telling Regis which two the were debating before using 50/50. If you answered him those two would always be left up. It was 100% rigged.
This happens so often that I say you should NEVER say what you think. If the host asks, don't tell them, cos any time someone does it gives them those two options.
@@eminenception Well, anytime someone says "I think it's [answer1] or [answer2]", then use 50/50, it often keeps those answers. Given the frequency of this occuring, it's likely someone is actually purposefully leaving those two options, as if 50/50 is useless it ramps up tension and makes better TV drama. So if anyone ends up on Millionaire, they *shouldn't* say what they think before using 50/50, as it then prevent tampering from the production crew.
@@BrickleYourFrickle They don't remove the right one, they just leave in the two you guessed. For example, the capital of England: London, E, New York or Moscow.

Drama! Viewer intrigue! Could they lose it all!? Keep watching to find out! Basically, don't tell them what you think it could be before you 50/50 otherwise you'll be stuck with those two answers. Keep it to yourself, 50/50, and you're more likely to be left with answers you're certain of rather than two you can't decide between.
@@WolfyFancyLads I see now, so essentially it's a wasted lifeline because it narrows it down to what you were already thinking anyway. Of course this would only work if your two guesses included the correct answer as well.

For those who actually want to know the answer: Madrid Reina is the Spanish word for Queen. In Portuguese, it's rainha So knowing the language of origin right off the bat would give you the answer. On top of that, only one of those options is in a country that's currently a monarchy. Queen Sofía was the queen consort of Spain from 1975 to 2014. Would've been dirtier if they included the *CITY* of Sofia as an option

Seeing the name "Reina" and knowing of the Spanish goalkeeper who used to play for Liverpool named Pepe Reina, I would have picked Madrid as the answer straight away.
They did everything to stop him from winning this game. Go watch the million dollar question how Regis tries to act like he should walk away because it was for charity even after he said Final Answer with the correct answer. He walked away and that children cancer research walked away with on $500,000 instead of a $1,000,000
Yeah but norm wasn’t 100% percent sure, he was 50/ 50 between greenbrier and pinehurst, and Regis knew it. Regis also knew norm was a degenerate gambler, and he didn’t want norm to gamble away 500,000 for charity. If norm was more certain than he appeared to be, he probably wouldn’t have tried to talk sense into Norm .
Norm has talked about this. Regis doesn't know the answers and Norm told Regis that he guessed on the previous question. Regis was trying to make sure that Norm was confident in his guess. Furthermore, the show has an insurance policy that, if someone wins a million, they don't have to pay it. So, him winning 500k is worse from their perspective, because they have to pay it out. No conspiracy. Just unfortunate happenstance.

Bro was actually doubting between rome and madrid and decided to play this 4D chess move.
Regis and Norm - 2 fucking legends!
Fifty Fifty - Cupid
笑死🤣
That always happened. Don't care what anyone says. Without fail the 50/50 left the two most reasonable answers.
The fact everyone was laughing even Regis is what makes this so great
That Regis is a real jerk.
Nah, he's a good guy.
good man, solid man
He's a good jerk.
It's in Madrid, in case anyone is wondering.
R.I.P. to those two legends
2 great entertainers , may their souls rest in peace
The face he makes at the end😂💀
This guy knew exactly what he was doing. What a legend
Regis: 😅
Norm: 🤪
There's four-dimensional chess, and there's 9/11 Chess.
Norm just mastered both.
The twist is that once they remove 2 obviously wrong answers you end up with a 50/50 chance of getting the question right.
They did everything to stop him from winning this game. Go watch the million dollar question how Regis tries to act like he should walk away because it was for charity even after he said Final Answer with the correct answer. He walked away and that children cancer research walked away with on $500,000 instead of a $1,000,000
Yeah but norm wasn’t 100% percent sure, he was 50/ 50 between greenbrier and pinehurst, and Regis knew it. Regis also knew norm was a degenerate gambler, and he didn’t want norm to gamble away 500,000 for charity. If norm was more certain than he appeared to be, he probably wouldn’t have tried to talk sense into Norm .
Norm has talked about this. Regis doesn't know the answers and Norm told Regis that he guessed on the previous question. Regis was trying to make sure that Norm was confident in his guess. Furthermore, the show has an insurance policy that, if someone wins a million, they don't have to pay it. So, him winning 500k is worse from their perspective, because they have to pay it out. No conspiracy. Just unfortunate happenstance.
@@Asgier3 "if someone wins [a] million, they don't have to pay it."
What?
@@NorHeadHunter It doesn't come from the show's budget in that case I'm guessing.
@@Asgier3 sounds like some silver tongued legal fuckery to me
The heartbeat music still pounding in the background while the entire audience and stage erupt into child-like laughter is such a *chefs kiss*
One of the best "I knew it!" while gum chewin, guy in-the-back suspecting "Gahh!" in history!
I don’t know what happend, may you let me know?
He is like: "You are joking right ? You are joking ... right ?"
*Computer is SUS*
I love such simple videos man. Miss the old youtube!
I laughed so hard. Dude's a good sport ! 👍👍
The way he said - "Computer" take away two of those wrong answers- gave him away.
I watched this 4x the first time
My modern art class was a real textbook heavy course, and that museum was on the cover.
It’s hard believe both of these legends are dead.
I gave a second chance to Cupid!
Who else saw this in there recommended and thought it was going to be Cupid?
Yeah I did lmfao
I've always thought that about this show tbh lol. I always thought if I were in that situation I'd keep it to myself which two I was debating between.
RIP Norm MacDonald, what a legend
I fucking miss you Norm, every goddamn day of the week.
