So they can have a chance to possibly bomb again with even more money on the line? Oh puhleeze. Time for some fresh contestants rather than bringing some back from the past that has so miserably failed. (Llama, anyone?)
The point of the show is to see real people win, not to see already failed contestants get a second chance at so-called "glory". [/quote]
I agree -- once you've had a chance in the Hot Seat, that should be it, for good. The llama special from the series run in '01 was neat to do once, but it shouldn't ever become a routine event. Then again, I remember the championships series where none of the millionaires repeated, and at least one (Dan Blonsky, IIRC), missed a middle tier question and left with only $1,000. [/quote]
Well, look at the first season on the Syndie show: They got EVERY last Llama to come back and win something. And EVERY LAST one of those Llamas won some money.
In the primetime version's first 2 seasons, There were 12 Llamas (One of them female), and only 5 of them made it to the hot seat.
On each of these Llama-Fests, the most money ever won by an Ex-Llama was $250,000.
So, see, some of the Llamas did change a bit.
