"You have 16,000 - at least until tomorrow": Günter Jauch's prediction does not come true on the fourth day of the "3 million euro week".Instead, elementary school teacher Anna-Lena Spanier's accident is so brutal that it scares the rest of the candidates.
"Who wants to be a millionaire?" This brutal accident shocked all the contestants
"You have 16,000 - at least until tomorrow": Günther Jauch's prediction on the fourth day of the "€3 million week" is not correct.Instead, elementary school teacher Anna-Lena Spanier squirms so wildly that the other candidates are horrified.
Divorce is expensive, especially for a mother of three.Maybe this is what the primary school teacher Anna-Lena Spanier took all the risk with Günther Jauch.To come to the Final of the Great "3 million Yuro Week" is simple not been enough for the candidate of the schogering in thepower.So, he has warned many times.
Spanier's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"(WWM) risk option.It worked very well at first.A very nervous candidate made the first joke of the €4,000 question and needed help in each of the subsequent rounds.With a protection level of 16,000 euros, the teacher would immediately be richer by 15,500 euros and go directly to the finals.
An elementary school teacher risks everything
Unfortunately, his last joke drew the Spaniard directly into the match.Jauch wanted to know for 32,000 euros the most famous grandfather of the boy named Ronin, born in 2024. The Spanish caller said that the singer Bob Marley and the surfer Robbie Naish.His "very accurate" comment was enough for the teacher, who didn't know how to ask, to put everything on the card.
"So you're at the end," Jauch said, referring to the 16,000 euros needed to advance to Friday's final and set the World Cup record."I know," replied the Spaniard.Yauch reiterated his desire to play it safe: "You have 16,000 people - at least until tomorrow."
The moderator made a last attempt to save the candidate.He listed their options: "You go up to 32,000, you go down to 500, or you have a safe 16,000, and then you can think about it tonight."Spanier didn't know who Naish was, but he suddenly typed the wrong answer.
Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and skateboarding legend Tony Hawk were there."No, damn it," said the mother of three children between the ages of two and nine, who is currently divorced.Jauch commented on the accident briefly and succinctly: "You can't do anything."This can be revealed: Surprisingly, the "3 million euro week" was never erased from the unfortunate candidate.
Play for a record win
Spaniates case was still in the bones of her replacement in the hot seat, Ellen Zargami.
The retired teacher, who now teaches German to immigrant children, seems to have much more planned for the final of the World Cup victory.She takes it in stride when Zach announces: Sliders are not used in golf tournaments, as she and her Joker suspected, but in alpine skiing.
Caroline Schenknecht-Albinus' €125,000 from Wednesday was far from all a day before the final.Herbern's Johannes Forspohl and Kassel's Jan Patrick Meister achieved the biggest money for this special trainer with €32,000 each.Vorspohl advanced to the €32,000 round with all four participants.as long as he is omniscient, he should be able to be happy.
A German language and history teacher at a comprehensive school was convinced after a 50:50 prank: for the first time in 2024, "Wilhelm" and not "Theo" entered the top 10 most popular names for boys in Germany.These statistics of the German Language Society have been published since 1977.
Vorspol had a clear course, but first he asked for an extra joker.The gentleman gave one of the best answers in the history of WWM to Zach's compelling question about his job.
"I have a farm in Africa"
"I have a farm in Africa." The gentleman from Ulm answered, creating a little "from Africa" vibe in the studio.A Ugandan coffee farm owner clearly voted for 'Theo', but he couldn't give much explanation as to why."Honestly, I'm not sure," Vorspohl said, not hiding his skepticism.Because he knows a lot about Theos.His theory: The name will be on the list before 2024.
Fortunately, the teacher pulled the audience along laughing.The audience voted 75 percent for 'Theo'.This representative then submitted to the majority opinion - he was able to catch his breath.He added a joker who might have helped him with the question of 64,000 euros.Vorspohl should know that "Big Tusker" is an elephant with XXL horns.However, he came out on defense.
Two pranksters steered John Patrick Meister in the right direction with the €64,000 question.A Castle native who taught German, sports and constitutional law to the federal police, he played it safe though.He had previously mastered the €32,000 question with confidence without any help.The 37-year-old knew that the New Zealand pike was an animal of the highest order.
In the next round, the question with standard dimensions of 220 x 125 x 80 mm and an approximate capacity of 2.2 liters: barf bag, garbage bag, sandwich bag or gym bag? Both the extra clown and the phone clown guessed the barf bag. Mister's instinct agreed, but he also didn't want to miss the chance to reach the final and win 3 million euros.
If you answer incorrectly, you will not be able to enter.
In this episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?With the exception of Spanier, all the candidates in the hot seat were entitled to a chance to break the record.Kilian Sasse from Jena won the minimum amount at the start of the show.Strictly speaking, a high school history and English teacher would actually be fired for asking a €4,000 question.
Jauch wanted to know the weight of children born in Germany.The representative, who knew nothing, quickly pointed to the lightest option between 2,000 and 3,000 grams: "I will say answer A."Despite the clarity of the words, the director did not come.Also: Jauch was also helped by the candidate's father.
He revealed: Sasse's birth weight was 4,800 grams.So the teacher of course left his wrong answer and asked questions to the audience.98 percent voted for 3,000-4,000 grams. Before joining, Joch asked if there was a midwife in the audience as a potential extra joker.
At the end of the big "3 million euro week" Nadja Sidikjar's record must be set in the end.Manehna meunang 1.538.450 euro dina jackpot kadua husus dina bulan Nopémber 2015.
