Hmmmmmm...

Just sitting here watching 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' and a question came up that the contestant clearly didn't know. Fair enough, he used his 'Phone A Friend' and it was painfully obvious that his friend was sitting at home on a fast internet connection with Google up waiting to feed in anything he might be asked. He came up with the right answer, of course, Google rarely fails. I was just wondering what the administrators of the show think of this practice. Right now in the UK there is a trial going on against a bloke that is accused of winning the million with help from the audience in the form of coughing. Wouldn't the friend at home on his computer be equally helping a cheater?

Impossible to prove of course but this time it got the contestant up to the big £32000 marker.
