I think the ratings for the Today Show have gone up since she has been on the show.

I'm not sure if it aired in all markets yet, but who caught the first Millionaire episode of the season today? I personally didn't like it as much as I have in the past, and you could tell it was a different show. Not a fan at all of the clock - it rushes the contestants too much, and it's not fun to watch like that. I also don't like how they gave the categories for the questions - what's the fun in that if you know what it's going to be about?

I don't mind the double-dip lifeline, but did they have to replace 50-50? I can't believe they actually replaced an original lifeline. Also didn't like the ask an expert lifeline - they used in Super Millionaire awhile ago, and it was much better that way instead of via sattelite. Overall, I'll still have to get used to the changes, but I think it would have been better keeping things the same.

The time limit as absolutely horrendous - some people need more time to answer a question, and now the contestants are going to be pushed to give an answer or not. Makes no sense to me at all.

what about price julie? You still watch that right?

The time thing stinks like high heaven. A timer? No way! This show was been airing here in the US since 1999 and they decide to change things up now? I don't like it.

Of course I do! I should have said it was the only "syndicated gameshow" I watch. My mistake!

I'm really looking forward to the Price season premiere. Can't wait to see some of the changes!

Yeah, I don't get why they're making changes now. The timelimit sucks - how slow were they answering the questions that a clock was needed?-LOL

Me Neither. The show hasn't been the same since Regis left, the woman isn't bad but isn't as good. The anticipation was part of it- making it timed now, I definitely won't look forward to watching it.
