Anyone who takes risks with WWM must expect to fall behind. Both Günther Jauch and the audience advise a candidate to give the right answer, but she listens to her gut feeling.
Hürth – On Easter Monday (April 1st), RTL showed the second Easter special on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” with presenter Günther Jauch (67). In a TV studio decorated for spring, the showmaster once again welcomed his guests to the popular quiz show. At halftime of the WWM, Melanie Steckel from Braunschweig was allowed to take a seat on the coveted council chair - but in the end she gambled away badly.
“Well, I congratulate you”: WWM candidate gets stuck on the 125,000 euro question
After all the years of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”, the candidates know very well that it is entirely possible to elicit one or two correct answers from the show host – once Günther Jauch even logged in the solution himself without waiting for the candidate’s response have. But Melanie Steckel doesn't really want to be helped by the moderator. With only one joker used and a mixture of cleverness and luck, the woman from Braunschweig makes it to the 125,000 euro question - even the showmaster is surprised by this, but he emphasizes: "The height of the drop is now getting bigger and bigger."

After the question is played, Günther Jauch immediately makes it clear that he knows the answer - and that's why he won't help the woman from Braunschweig. “They don't hear anything from me [...] I don't look, I don't say anything, I don't comment, I'm not even there.” The “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” candidate quickly decides on the audience joker - but the result is not really clear. The showmaster interjects ironically: “Well, I congratulate you [...] We haven't had such a shitty result in a long time.” That's why the woman from Braunschweig decides to put the 50:50 joker right behind her.
“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” not only a hit in Germany – TV show with numerous spin-offs
“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” has not only been a real ratings hit in this country for years, the TV show, which originally came from Great Britain (there: “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”), has also developed into a real mass phenomenon internationally. The quiz show has been licensed in over 100 countries worldwide, including Albania, Austria, Belgium, Turkey, the Netherlands, Italy, Vietnam, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland. The program sequence, the optics and the music are often almost identical.
“Against the audience?”: Günther Jauch surprised by the candidate’s answer
After a long period of consideration, the candidate decides on the answer option with fewer audience votes. Günther Jauch asks: “Against the audience? They only say that to 17 percent - so that was their weakest against, at least, their strongest with an overall stupid result. You have to trust yourself.” But the moderator's powers of persuasion don't seem to work; the candidate is determined that her answer must be the right one - and she loses. It falls back to 16,000 euros.
