Fun fact: when this documentary first went out, the first advert in the ad break was for Benelyn cough syrup 😂
-
They were too obvious. They shoulda had a cough for A. A sneeze for B. A hiccup for C. And a massive fart for D.
-
Staff should of started coughing for wrong answers lol
-
The fact that they actually aired the episode immediately after the documentary was just brilliant. The ratings for that one episode must have been through the roof.
-
Imagine being on this show and constantly saying you've never heard of something only to choose that answer.
-
What's even more hilarious, is after they were found guilty, few years later they were then found guilty of insurance fraud 🤣
-
-whats your name? -charles ingram? cough -yes, definitely. Charles ingram.
-
his only mistake was going for 1mln, if he stops at 500k or 250k no one will investigated his case.
-
I had such a hard time finishing this doc cause I was cringing so hard the whole time. There’s something about seeing people cheat that gives me unbearable second hand embarrassment lmao
-
This is so funny because it would never work in a post-covid world. The second someone coughs now everyone is immediately suspicious
-
It's amazing that 3 peeps in a immediate family got on the same show
-
The bigger evidence (out of so many) is this one: he never seemed afraid to risk loosing what he already had by choosing an answer he was completely blind about. His behavior just wasn’t normal. A normal person would be very reluctant in risking half a million by just relying in luck or gut feeling. Even the host felt like he wasn’t conflicted at all. And do that multiple times during the game! That says everything
-
The most striking thing for me is that as he eliminates the wrong answers he’s unable to evidence any of his choices with any reasoning. Absolutely bang on a cheat.
-
I could not prevent me from burst into laugh at the "no" hidden within the cough 🤣
-
The bigger crime here is, that he has never heared of Coldplay. That's 10 to 25 right there.
-
Update: After this scandal came out, he had to resign from the military. Currently, he is a "Director of Operations" for his wifes candle business and has declared bankruptcy 4 times.
-
So when you watch his wife panicking and full of anxiety in the audience, now we know it was because he was pushing his luck and risking it all going to a level much further than they agreed to, not because she was scared of him losing the game.
-
imagine if another person in the audience would cough! at the wrong time!😂😂😂
-
His biggest mistake was saying that he had no idea at the beginning of every question. He should have kept his mouth shut and made it seem like he was reasoning it out in his head. If the host asked, he should say, "I'm thinking about it," or some other excuse. Instead, he went from "I have no idea" to the right answer almost every time. He should have given vague responses like, "I know this somehow, I just need to think about it," or, "I've heard of this before but need a minute to recall." His next big mistake was listing all the possible answers out loud every time. He should have picked one or two to say, and then did process of elimination based on whether or not he heard a cough. And finally... he got greedy. If he had punched out at a lesser amount, the studio would not have been able to determine the pattern. What impresses me is that the tech genius guy doing the coughs actually knew a hell of a lot! The problem is, Major was actually a stupid person, so even with cheating to help him he could not cheat intelligently and this gave him away. If two really intelligent people did this, the studio would have no idea. In fact, I'm sure some have gotten away with it.
