Million Dollar Ripoff

Fox has come out with a new show called "Million Dollar Money Drop" where contestants have $1 Million to risk on a series of questions. They lose any money they place on the worng answers. Whatever money they have left at the end of the game is what they keep (unless they lose it all before). Well, not even a full week and the show has already drawn a lot of criticism. A couple played the game and risked $800,000 on Post-It Notes, an answer to a question about which invention was sold first. Their answer was wrong (according to the show) and they lost the $800,000. However, when the couple did some further research after the show, they found out that their answer was correct after all. The couple's story gained national attention, prompting the game show to act. In a statement, the show's producers said:

"Unfortunately, the information our research department originally obtained from 3M regarding when Post-it notes were first sold was incomplete. As a result of new information we have received from 3M, we feel it is only fair to give our contestants, Gabe and Brittany, another shot to play 'Million Dollar Money Drop' even though this question was not the deciding question in their game"

Oh, and it gets even better. The host, Kevin Pollack, apparently told the Hollywood Reporter that the couple had no chance of winning the money anyway because they got the next question wrong as well. Okay, first off, who the heck is Kevin Pollack? I mean, this guy acted like a complete butthole and showed no respect for the couple or what happened. How dare he do something like that! I bet he wouldn't like going through that same BS the couple went through. In addition, the show blames 3M for providing them with the wrong info. They should have checked and verified the question before they used it in the game. That's just plain common sense!

Now, they have "generously" offered the couple a chance to go through the same BS they went through before? Shoot, I would tell them give me my $800,000! I mean, when "Jeopardy!" makes a mistake, they give the money to the contestant no questions asked. Why can't this show do the same? Kevin Pollack may soon be out of a job because I think "Money Drop" is dropping straight into the toilet after all this. I watched the show once (before all this of course) and that will be the last time I watch it! Below is a vid of this huge mishap...
