“Millionaires”. He was eliminated after the first question, he was defeated by the swan song. “It remains to burn with shame”

In the history of the “Millionaires” game show, it was not uncommon for a seemingly simple question to eliminate a participant faster than one could suspect. This was the case in one of the episodes of the 10th season, when a Polish language teacher was defeated by… phraseology.

“” since 1999, they regularly attract not only participants dreaming of winning the main prize, but also TV viewers. However, reaching a million is not easy, as the jackpot has only been won five times so far. Participants are often stressed and even a seemingly simple question can be very difficult. There have been many such examples in the history of the game show.

“Millionaires”. He left after the first question. “Well. It happens anyway…”

In the 498th episode of “Millionaires”, one of the participants was a Polish philologist by education, who tests games on a daily basis. It was he who managed to answer the elimination question the fastest and thus sat on the player’s chair. His joy, however, did not last long. Even the first question for PLN 500 caused him a lot of difficulties. And the problem with giving the correct answer may be surprising due to the studies he graduated from. How did it sound?

Swan song means:
A. something impossible,
B. something beautiful,
C. last thing
D. big trouble.

The participant thought about the answer for a while, but quickly decided that since swans are associated with something beautiful, he will mark answer B. Unfortunately, this turned out to be wrong, because the correct answer was “something last”, specifically the last work of the artist ending his career. – Uh… Well. It happens anyway – he concluded, who thanked the participant after all for the “short game”.

The question about the “swan song” defeated the Polish teacher. He quickly left the program

A fragment of the episode appeared on the game show’s Facebook profile. Although there was no shortage of amusement and even shock in the comments, some fans defended the participant, blaming stress for the unsuccessful performance.

You can look at it a bit differently. How many potential players fail to even qualify for the game for a million. The fact that he managed to sit in that famous chair should already be considered a great success.

Polish philologist? Unbelievable!

The last second in the program. Sad but true. It remains to burn with shame.

No words.
