Since Million Dollar Money Drop contestants are getting a second chance, how about Who Wants To Be a Millionaire contestants too?

Well it is the last day of 2010. I did get my Christmas shopping done on Christmas Eve at Fred Meyer even though there were a few problems that arose during the checkout process.

But I really want to talk about game shows. Since Gabe Okoye and Brittany Mayti, contestants on the FOX game show "Million Dollar Money Drop," are going to get a second chance for picking the answer Post-Its that many are calling an answer that was correct even though the show's answer of Sony Walkman given by host Kevin Pollak was the most correct answer, how about a second chance for the contestant on Thursday's night edition of "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire"?

Meredith Viera, the host, gave the guy on that show a question about which coin the initials VDB, which stands for Victor David Brenner, appears on. I can't remember the exact wording of the question. But there was no reference to when the initials first appeared in the question which means the contestant could have interpreted that the coin has had these initials the entire length of that coin's existence.

But after looking at my US pennies dated from the 1980s and earlier, I could not spot the VDB on the penny. They are visible to the naked eye or with a magnifying glass from about 1990s and onward though.

So if someone was to have relied on knowledge from looking at older pennies, the answer given on the show would not be right. Since the guy walked away on the question, he should be brought back at the level he made it to when he quit because the question was misleading in my opinion.

So it is time for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire to do the same as Million Dollar Money Drop and bring back a contestant who was given a bad question.
