I was so excited and I printed all of my cards the very first night, I played many cards and I had a hard time keeping up, but the last game I won, not once but twice. When I went to claim my prize, I had to wait until the next day to see as the site was swamped and I could not logg on. I put in my cards and, NOTHING, I won nothing, not even the $5.00 K-Mart gift card. I never heard another word. I will never waste my time again! I am so disappointed in the show.

I know that in today's world we need to be pc but what the hell is a guy doing in the audience saying "nnoooo Bingo". I mean what the hell is that? I have been to a lot of bingo games and never heard someone screaming broken english "nnoooo bingo". I also think that instead of having the politically correct diverse contestant get a non bias lottery for all people. Now if you have 3 white male 30 something contestants then so be it or if all 3 are 70 year old female African Americans so be it, But for crying out loud make it completely unbias for contestants. For the crowd have the same!! Next I know that the host should be compassionate about the contestant but make it a little more believable that he cares!!! I can't even express into words on how utterly Ridiculous he acts with such fake feeling of hope and dispair!! The only positive point is getting home people to play. By the way the producers really shouldn't prod the contestents to act ridiculous on stage. The only real acting people where the wrestler (still acting more than really capable of acting) and the girl who won the last the last game of night on June 1,2007. This show sucks and I can't believe it made it past anyone with a brain who undertands the though premise is good that is about all that is positive is the premise. Hey here is idea for the next dumb show, we could play rock, paper, scissors, or clue!!

The Contestant deserves something. On the first show. that guy made the 500 miles. He should have won the $50,000 and the audience winner should have received the $500. That guy worked really hard.

They overexposed Millionaire and they haven't kept a steady game show since. Maybe they should stick with "The Wonderful World of Disney" or something. And I'm glad you like the "Money Balls" joke. I was making reference to the similarities between this show and CS. Well, maybe ABC doesn’t do too well with prime time game shows.

A $5 K-Mart gift card and a Rascal Flatts CD. At least you get entered in a drawing. And what are the prizes for the first show, you may ask? A $5 K-Mart gift card and a Rascal Flatts CD.

They really are running out of ideas for game shows. If they want to give away just $50K, they may as well put this on the daytime schedule and re-start the daytime game show genre again. Sad.

If ABC's trying to go for the interactivity award, I think they've got it. I hope the game play makes the low cash worth it. We might all want to buy the "Bingo Plex" home game.

ABC seems to be trying something different here: they are giving away another $50k per game to home viewers. Take that, plus the fact that (according to the show website) there are three games per show, and the show will be giving away $150,000 - $300,000 each episode. Which is more than Deal or No Deal. And hey, this time a home viewer doesn't need to fork over a cell-phone charge every time they want to try for the home prize. It's true that nobody on NBN is going to walk away a millionaire, but then again nobody on NBN is going to sit there as a contestant for an entire friggin' hour either. Maybe if the show is a success they will start including possibilities of bigger prizes -- but sounds like this 500 thing is relatively makeable, so why should it be worth more than $50,000?

(ex. 239 points would earn the contestant $2,390) Also the winning audience member, has a decision, to take the $5,000 OR be the next contestant. That Should Make Things More Interesting.
