anyone watch the show "secret millionare" last night?

thoughts about it?

my only comment is that on the first show, there was the dad and son & they lived in imperial beach for a week.... DH lived in imperial beach for 3 years & he said that they TOTALLY exaggerated how "poluted" and "run down" it was. they showed scenes that he knew exactly where they were and he kept saying that it wasnt as bad as they were depicting it to be... DH said like any area, IB had "bad" areas, but the areas they were in were NOT them

so of course like any other show, it was VERY exaggerated... but i liked the concept a lot!!

so anyone else watch?

I watched it...didn't love it, didn't hate it! I do like the idea of it though. Hopefully it really is the millionaire's money they're giving away and not FOX or anything...KWIM!

I liked the second one better than the first one - I agree that IB was somewhat misrepresented. And I felt like they could've really shown more in the hour of what went on that week, instead of coming back from each commercial break and repeating the last 3 minutes of what just happened before. Drives me crazy when shows do that!

Ok I may get flamed for this and I know it's their own money but I think they could have given more. i only watched the first show and I know they gave away 125,000 total but that is like a drop in the bucket to them. The 50,000 will not come close to covering the family with the little girl with cancer. They have no insurance that money won't last the year with all the chemo and testing she has. I know the parents were so greatful but I think they should have gotten more. Easy for me to say since it's not my money . They showed the cars and he talked about owing airplanes and boats but they gave away the equiviant of maybe 2 cars.
