I don't watch Dancing with the Stars, but can see why airhead moron Nikki Glaser was voted off very first in that season. What a loser, and the judges on this edition of Millionaire are awful as well. The question about a movie where 1917 and the Lighthouse were 2 of the choices, she was discussing with her studio friend Dr. Drew. She then blurted out Lighthouse, final answer. Then she gets all hysterical saying that wasn't the answer she meant to say. Tough! That lady who doesn't know when to shut up should have thought about that before saying final answer. To make things worse, after the commercial break, the pathetic judges said she was right anyway because 1917 is the answer she meant to say. Nikki should have been eliminated on the spot there, and go on to the next celebrity. E! never has anything worth watching anyway besides an occasional movie. I certainly wouldn't watch any show hosted by this idiot. And they even joked about celebrities deserving better treatment than regular people, in other words the judges wouldn't have considered this for regular contestants. If ABC wanted to give more money to that charity, fine. But it still doesn't excuse her continuing to next week when she should have been eliminated after stupidly saying final answer without thinking. Which brings up another point, while Jimmy Kimmel is no Regis, he isn't a totally bad host. But this edition would be a lot better if they had regular people as contestants instead of celebrities. At least if they stick with celebrities find someone with an actual brain. :crazy:

I watched this off my DVR last night. I think they definitely gave more leeway since the prize money was for charity.

Also, I'm not familiar w/ Nikki Glaser but she came across as someone with ADHD (as in not being able to focus on one topic for too long). Nerves could have exacerbated it.

I don't mean to say terrible things, but I agree with the last few posters. I am not familiar with Nikki and I can see why. The show in general takes too long. Yes I agree this the show was for charity and they were lenient with Nikki. But in the true game, Sorry Nikki,you said final answer and she be left with ? was a thousand dollars. Also if they can film this show with a few camera operators, Jimmy, contestant and his friend, I would think they could add a 10 audience members and spread them out through the seats. You could ask the audience with the 10 people.

I read the rules/disclaimer that airs during the credits and it says that the celebrity contestants are guaranteed $32,000 for their charities. I didn't realize that at first and now that seems to be the reason Nikki was allowed to keep playing.

If it had occurred after the $32,000 mark (when the "smart friend" is no longer allowed to help) then she probably would have been eliminated.
