This weekend’s episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire left viewers frustrated as they claimed a contestant had been “stitched up” by the producers.

Hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, the ITV episode featured Victoria Johnson, who aimed to win the grand prize of a million pounds.

However, her game took a tough turn when a critical lifeline didn’t work out as expected.

The Question That Changed the Game

Victoria’s fateful question asked her to identify which of the following companies wasn’t founded in Sweden: H&M, Spotify, Kopparberg, or Lidl.

Unsure of the answer, she suspected Spotify but decided to use her 50/50 lifeline.

This left her with Spotify and Lidl as the remaining options.

Confident in her initial instincts, she chose Spotify.

Unfortunately, Lidl was revealed as the correct answer, resulting in a loss of £3,000, though she left with £1,000.

Viewers React Online

Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their frustration, suggesting the 50/50 lifeline was unfairly disadvantageous.

Comments poured in, with users advising future contestants not to reveal their suspicions before using a lifeline.

One viewer posted, “Producers stitched her up good and proper!” while others warned, “Never tell the ‘random computer’ what you think.”

Confusion Over Episode Rerun

Some fans were initially puzzled, as the episode was actually a rerun.

Minutes into the show, viewers questioned whether it was new or an old episode due to recent episodes concluding.

The confusion cleared when an X account confirmed that this episode was indeed a rerun, mentioning visible Covid screens as evidence.

Jeremy Clarkson’s “Tremendous” Moment with Contestant Kevin

In a separate episode, Jeremy Clarkson was taken aback by a contestant named Kevin, who played with a bold strategy.

Kevin progressed to the £125,000 mark without using a single lifeline or setting a safety net.

Clarkson praised his tactics, describing them as “absolutely tremendous.”

At the £125,000 mark, Kevin finally set his safety net, which surprised even the host.

Kevin later faced a challenging £500,000 question, which asked him to identify the smallest painting among The Starry Night, Mona Lisa, Girl With a Pearl Earring, and American Gothic.

After using his lifelines, Kevin chose to leave with £250,000 rather than risk it all. Viewers applauded his wise decision and celebrated his impressive win.

What’s Next?

As the show continues, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire remains a blend of intense moments and fan reactions.

With each episode, viewers tune in, hoping for thrilling twists, unexpected victories, and, of course, those nerve-wracking final questions.

Whether contestants go home with life-changing sums or face the disappointment of a lost answer, fans eagerly await each new game.
