WWTBaM question -- 7/21/03 ep
Timsterino:
It was great to see Tim Hsieh on the show today. I have NO problem with people going on multiple game shows AS LONG AS they follow the rules. When people go on multiple shows and are in obvious violation of the show's own rules, that is when I get pissed off.
The best thing you can do if you do not like a show or the practices of the show's contestant selection process is not watch. Ultimately it is their show and they can do with it what they please as long as they still get ratings.

I never suggested anything otherwise. You're exactly right. Vote with your remote. And I do.

I hardly watch Millionaire anymore, and this sure didn't help. [/quote]
George Elias was on \"Greed\" and won $610,000. He later went on \"Pyramid\" and won $125,000. Tim Hsieh ain't the first guy to pull that stunt. People have gone on multiple game shows in the past, and they will in the future. If you don't like it, change the channel.

Nobody suggested he was.

Isn't that exactly what the OP is saying? \"I don't watch Millionaire anymore, and I'm not any more inclined to if they're going to do this.\"
So drop the attitude.

Chris,
My response was not directed at you. It was actually directed at Gromit regarding his unhappiness with not getting selected.
Tim :-)
