GOOGLE RUINS EVERYTHING: The syndicated version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? is reportedly dumping the "Phone-A-Friend" lifeline. I've got to say that it's largely defensible, given the rise of the "person sitting next to their computer with Google open" strategy that's proliferated in the age of Broadband, which turned it into the equivalent of a free pass on most questions, though it's provoking a fair degree of outrage.

In other gameshow news, Fox has picked up remake rights to hit UK show The Cube, which sounds incredibly stupid (contestants must complete 7 "simple" games to win big money), but which, if you watch, it's oddly captivating.
