In today's Sun, there's an article revealing the next WWTBAM jackpot winner. Tonights edition which was apparently
taped on the Thursday just gone, has just ended a short while ago, with the current contestant on £250,000 and two
lifelines remaining. Next week, and the week after, there are WWTBAM celebrity specials, which essentially means
we won't see the current (non-celeb) contestant actually winning the million pound jackpot for 3 whole weeks.
My main problem with this, is not necessarily about tabloid newspapers revealing the next big winner, but the fact
that the program is still recorded about 2 or more days in advance. Why can't they broadcast WWTBAM live, or
at least tape the show on the day of it's broadcast? That way, jackpot winners cannot possibly revealed in
advance by the press, tabloid or otherwise, and the program isn't spoiled for the majority of it's viewers.
