    Who knows more than millionaires?

    Because I do all the time. Every time I watch Who wants to be a millionaire, I tend to know much more than the competitor and I wouldn't even have to help.

    But if I would actually be there... I guess I wouldn't know jack

    I once watched some numbnuts use a lifeline on the very first question

    Get one of the DVD games - they're brilliant Especially when you can play them around Christmas time, or as an ice breaker with people you don't know.

    I also usually know more than the competitors, but I've never seen anyone go beyond 10,000 €.
    I could really use a fish right now

    A knowledge of trivia does not equate to high intelligence. I know a barrister who is fearsomely intelligent, but ask him what Britney Spears does for a living or the Nationality of Arsene Wenger, and you'll get a blank look.

    There are indeed plenty of people who get good academic grades, but whose general knowledge (as opposed to trivia) is dreadful. As someone who stores up a lot of crap in his head and then spurts it out in attempts to look more clever than he is, I think this is a pity.

    Everyone is a smarta$$ :

    It is a lot harder when you are in the studio, with the lights on, a presenter in front of you, an audience, cameras and the prospect of winning a million dollars hock:

    It is very easy in your comfortable armchair at home, hey

    Exactly.

    I bet I would face the same destiny than this one guy who failed the very first question and didn't even use the lifelines.
