I had read that during the prime time version, the producers focus grouped or did a survey about the champions of Millionaire tournament and found out that people didn't like the idea of big winners winning more money.

Don't tell the folks over at Jeopardy!-- they seem to think a Tournament of Champions is a dandy idea.

I don't think that was quite his point, though. On a show like J!, where contestants compete against each other, there is a desire to see the best play against each other to see who El Jefe really is. On Millionaire, it's all solo players playing against the house, so that aspect of things doesn't exist.
Now, if Millionaire were to develop a format where the former champions all sat in a Deluxe Ring Of Fire or something (think, a bunch of isolation booths), and worked off of the same stack of questions (using lifelines individually and when desired, according to the game rules), last man standing wins, that could be something interesting...
