They messed up one of the questions!
The Post-It Note was introduced in 1977, but didn't sell well as it hadn't been used before. It was re-introduced in 1980, but since 3M recognizes 1980 as the official debut date, I guess the question is technically correct. But it was sold before 1979.

"Unfortunately the information our research department originally obtained from 3M regarding when Post-it notes were first sold was incomplete," Jeff Apploff, "Million Dollar Drop's" executive producer said in a statement to Access on Thursday. "As a result of new information we have received from 3M, we feel it is only fair to give our contestants, Gabe and Brittany, another shot to play 'Million Dollar Money Drop' even though this question was not the deciding question in their game.
"The revised information regarding the Post-it is as follows: the product was originally tested for sale in four cities under the name 'Press 'N Peel' in 1977, sold as 'Post-its' in 1979 when the rollout introduction began and sold nationwide in 1980. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the viewers who brought this to our attention, and we're thrilled to give Gabe and Brittany the opportunity to return to play the game," he added.

^ I didn't watch that episode, but I highly doubt the contestants took any of that info into account when giving it their best guess. I suppose it's still cool that the show admitted their mistake. Heck, I hope they end up winning big this time.
Good Lord the first woman was annoying. Anyone else snicker when the second couple had the sex question and the man said something like "You can sleep all you want" as Pollak grinned devilishly in the background? What a sad ending. I can't believe they changed the final Statue of Liberty question. The guy looked like he took it pretty hard.

The shows okay but I think it will get boring fast. It becomes anti-climatic as the money shrinks instead of building. They need to add a way to get some money back. And it's sort of irritating that the host has to constantly keep reminding them to move the loot as time runs out.

I was confused at how that one couple answered the Bieber question. The husband said "Justin Bieber is 16 years old", so why did they put most of their money on the first George Bush being president when he was born? I could see maybe putting some on Bush I as a safety, but for them put so much when they correctly guessed Bieber was 16 seemed idiotic. Unless they had no idea when Clinton was elected?

I was waiting for them to pull out a bag from their pocket and start counting 
it makes you wonder if they tailor the questions to fit the personality of the contestants. Two fat chicks and two categories are cookies and candy??? Seems too much of a coincidence.

The questions seem to be getting slightly easier .. but the last question is still pretty much a 50-50 guess.
