This article seems to contradict itself...it states that at one point, Martin used a Lifeline to get the Audience's opinion, however it follows that up with "Eddie and the audience marvelled in amazement as he secured himself $250,000, still without using a lifeline". I don't watch the show, so I can't correct it personally, but the sooner someone fixes this article up, the better. TheZaniak 11:58, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello 211.30.18.73: Please explain why you chose, without discussion, to delete the entire section on the news events surrounding Flood's win. This was significant news at the time and is part of the story of his win. Grimhim 21:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I'll start working through this; the article appears to have been written by someone either in Channel 9's publicity department or, more likely, a mate of Martin Flood's. A very close mate. It's time for this "enigmatic magic" and "marvelled in amazement" froth to disappear.Grimhim 03:19, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Here's the $64,000 question: Does anyone know what the $64,000 question was? Grimhim 04:42, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

The original article appears to be a copy from the millionaire.ninemsn webpage which was written by someone in Channel 9's publicity department. Email me at quizshowjunky at hotmail and I will explain why I removed your text. No offence was intended. Quizshowjunky 04:03, 31 January 2006 (GMT)

Removed the additional section. I'll come back to that when I have additional information.Grimhim 05:25, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I propose to delete the cleanup tag from this entry. The initial PR-written text has been reduced to a more objective description.Grimhim 02:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
