Janos Pigerl stood at "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? – The Big Gambler Special" for the 750,000 euro question, but the candidate gambled away.
On Monday evening there was a bitter bankruptcy for Janos Pigerl on the RTL show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? – The Big Gambler Special" (here at TVNow). In the "Gamer Special", the candidates can win two million euros from Günther Jauch (64); they have to answer the first nine of the 15 questions without using a joker.
Janos Pigerl, a student from Cologne, was already on the 750,000 euro question and still had wild cards left. Jauch set him this task: "In which sport have German athletes been able to win gold for their country most often at the Olympic Games?" The answers were "A: equestrian sports, B: swimming, C: athletics or D: rowing". After Pigerl chose the 50:50 joker, there were still C and D, the candidate chose D without further hedging with his other jokers. The wrong answer, in the end he had to say goodbye with a profit of 1,000 euros.
"That's great, brave and aggressive"
"Unfortunately caught on the wrong foot, a bit," the candidate later explained to RTL: "You typed wrong, that's how it works sometimes." But Günther Jauch still had great praise: "He just had this gamer gene. I think that's great. It's great, courageous and aggressive."
