After over two years! The Super Drop is an interesting twist, although kind of miss the strategy if choosing the placements (though I think having it in the first main round and having the old style in the second is a good compromise). Nice way of freshening up the show. I know they put out a casting call for a ton of episodes in 2017, so surely we have a bunch waiting to be shown? I guess these new ones must be the 2017 ones (not filmed more recently like you'd assume), otherwise they'd have to go back and show the 2017 ones at some point, and it'd feel weird going backward to episodes without have the Super Drop twist nondisclosed_email@example.com (Messup434)Thu, 16 Apr 2020 08:27:40 +0000 Re: The Wallhttps://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p356252,from=rss#post356252https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p356252,from=rss#post356252This finally returns on the 20th.

I feel like NBC might simply hand-out the money themselves though, because, as you said, the possibility of having to give away $12 million might scare most companies off. Although no one has won close to $2 million yet so I don't expect to ever see a team win even $3 million, as a team has to get extremely lucky drops, many correct answers and to tear-up the contract at the end to win that much. They probably can't.

I think you have to even longer, 30 to 60 days after the broadcast or so. Plus: Some shows reserve the right to pay you in annual installments. I know that's the case for the bigger prices on Millionaire and I'm sure it's true for The Wall, too. Also something important to note: Many shows have insurance so that they won't have to pay bigger cash prizes themselves. I think all the Millionaires around the world did that. Germany did, but they don't have insurance anymore. The show makes enough money from advertising and audition fees, so the channel can afford to pay the million. Not sure if that's the case for The Wall though. Insurance companies usually want you to limit the chance of winning the top prize. So on Millionaire you have to answer really challenging questions. On Wheel of Fortune you have to hit a mini space, win the round, never hit bankrupt, advance to the bonus round, hit the million dollar envelope and then solve the puzzle. But on The Wall, there were quite a few people who won more than million, many won more than half a million. I'm not sure if an insurance company wants to pay for that (unless you pay them a high insurance fee)nondisclosed_email@example.com (Codex89)Tue, 27 Feb 2018 23:47:32 +0000 Re: The Wallhttps://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p351057,from=rss#post351057https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p351057,from=rss#post351057Oh yeah - that is true. Would really suck for that to happen but I guess that risk is always run when you participate on a show.

In fact, less than 25% of the competitors so far have walked away with nothing and three people have already won over $1,000,000.

The guy who sat behind the wall talking through every answer was very funny and I liked him. The car story bit Sad they lost a million on the four red balls but they still got $500,000! I was really impressed that the woman a few weeks ago answered five of six correctly, they got pretty bad bounces for how well they answered. At the end it didn't matter though. Very gutting that she signed the contract! The garbage-man was always hanging around $0 so I was so glad he got the 500k at the end!! It would've sucked if after all that excitement, all three went into the ones! Glad they walked away alright. This last epsiode was sad. I wanted them to do well and they brought their kids. It was going so well and he had miraculous red ball drops but he lost it at the end Was nice to see someone play such an aggressive game though! It's about time for an episode where someone breaks $1,000,000 and I'd love to see someone get into $2,000,000 or at least break $1.4nondisclosed_email@example.com (Messup434)Mon, 17 Jul 2017 16:54:08 +0000 Re: The Wallhttps://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p347255,from=rss#post347255https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p347255,from=rss#post347255Yay for you! nondisclosed_email@example.com (DuffDan)Thu, 22 Jun 2017 16:33:03 +0000 Re: The Wallhttps://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p347246,from=rss#post347246https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p347246,from=rss#post347246It's back on tonight!nondisclosed_email@example.com (Messup434)Thu, 22 Jun 2017 15:21:46 +0000 Re: The Wallhttps://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p346764,from=rss#post346764https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p346764,from=rss#post346764For some reason this wasn't on on Monday, and I searched and its not on within the next week either Maybe these last two episodes were just a little taster to get us excited for season 2 (..season one has to end sometime!), but that's anyone's speculation honestly. They're still a couple that I know were filmed in the first batch, because there were people in the December-February episode intros that haven't been shown, so those still need to be done, too.
