Credit to Buzzerblog for finding out that Millionaire is trying out a new money tree this season. $1,000,000 $500,000 $250,000 $100,000 $50,000 $25,000* $15,000 $12,500 $10,000 $7,500 $5,000* $3,000 $2,000 $1,000 $500 Source: buzzerblog.flashgameshows.com/rumor-control-who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-gets-a-new-money-chain-after-all/I think that's a really great tree, actually. I hope it goes well in the practice runs and they end up using that on the show. Having such a huge first safe haven will encourage people to gamble more. I just wish this money tree had been used on the primetime run for something different. Still, though, this is great news. |

While I think it's a good idea, I think it'd be better implemented into the UK Millionaire format - hopefully it'd override the 12 question set!

Is it actually being used now? Because I looked at the 'Tournament of 10 Leaderboard' at the website and the winners had the old money values under their names..

If you read what BuzzerBlog said, then you would have noticed that they won't be using it until after the first week of shows.

Well, forgive me for saying so, but I rather liked the old money tree, the one we mostly grew up on. This new tree is rather odd, with its $..,500 levels. But never mind, I'll just have to roll with the punches...

i also read somewhere that the old money levels would be evened out to match the new levels so noone in the top ten will feel cheated.

Although this is a pretty much dead thread by now, I do have to say that increasing the second safe haven to $50,000 (a la the UK version) would have worked better with $5,000 as the first safe haven. That way they could have had less awkward amounts in the middle, such as $12,500. But it's not terrible like this, I'm just saying it would have been better like that. Maybe a tree like this would have worked better:
$500, $1,000, $2,000, $3,000, $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, $30,000, $50,000, $75,000, $125,000, $250,000, $500,000, $1,000,000
