This joker was completely pointless.
“Who wants to be a millionaire?” Candidate Julia Eckert hoped for help from Günther Jauch’s audience on Monday evening. But the plan completely backfired.
After all, it was about 32,000 euros. The quiz master wanted to know: “Fully integrated or partially integrated – this is the question that customers ask themselves when buying …?” A: a fireplace, B: a socket strip, C: a mobile home (correct) or D: a school bag. For the woman from Hamburg, this question was unsolvable.

Without thinking twice, she announced, “There you have it with the Joker.” She thought asking the entire audience was a promising idea, because there were winners from previous shows sitting there.
However, the result was disappointing. 45 percent typed on A, 33 percent on B and 22 percent on C. So the candidate was no smarter than before. Jauch: “It’s anything but clear.”
It got even worse for his candidate. After the 50/50 joker, the two answers with the highest percentages, A and B, were eliminated. For Jauch almost an absurdity. So far, his audience had rarely made a mistake. With mock indignation, the quiz master turned to the viewers and said: “What’s going on here? you jerks!”
All that could be heard from the ranks was a coy laugh. Eckert now had to decide between a mobile home and a school bag. In the end, they chose the mobile home. “There are those where the car is on and then those with a caravan,” the blonde suspects. She was right about that.
A small drop of bitterness: the audience joker, which was actually so valuable, was gone. Nevertheless, the candidate was able to take home 125,000 euros.
