Fox’s game show, “Million Dollar Money Drop”, lasted just one season. Despite its short run, it managed to squeeze in, not one, but two scandals. Starting with $1 million, contestants had to place some or all of the money on possible answers to the presented seven multiple-choice questions. In the end, contestants could leave with whatever money they had left after the questions.
The first issue involved the contesting couple, Andrew and Patricia Murray, who bet their whole $580,000 sum on a single response, only to be told that their answer was incorrect. They later filed a suit seeking their $580k (plus damages), arguing the question was not properly explained, which is why their answer was “incorrect”. Another incident involved contestants, Gabe Okoye and Brittany Mayti, who lost a painful $800,000 on a question. They were sure of their answer, and the show later admitted they did, in fact, answer correctly. However, rather than give them the money they deserve, the show offered simply offered to “let them” play again and that never happened because the show got canceled.
In what only could’ve been cooked up by the reality TV show gods, property developer Tarek El Moussa of “Flipping 101” and realtor Heather Rae Young from “Selling Sunset” found one another and fell in love! Luckily for fans of the couple, snippets of their relationship were shown on both reality shows.
The lovebirds said “I do” in a lavish wedding that took place on October 23rd, 2021 in Montecito, California. Some tear-jerking moments from their big day were featured in the season 5 finale of “Selling Sunset,” giving fans (and haters) of the property-obsessed pair a sneak peek into the ceremony and celebrations.
