Was wondering what you guys thought the prize would be this year? Should it be raised, lowered, or the same since we have guys that have completed it. Also if you were Issac, would you have split the money with Geoff or kept it all cause the rules specifically state "the fastest time wins the money". Just would like to know your thoughts guys.

Ultimately I don't think it matters because NBC will be doing whatever they can to avoid a winner for the second year running. However, whatever they put in the third stage will have to be doable, and if it's doable for testers then people like Geoff and Isaac have the ability to do it.
I think the prize will remain the same, mainly because they wouldn't dare lower it.

Depends on the sponsors. That's always been the case. As for splitting money, no that's not how it should be. Stop trying to defer any prize problems on the athletes. This is an organizational issue that should be separate from the competitors. BOTH should have won the full amount in a perfect world but the rules were clear with only 1 being the millionaire. As for future, they should have 2nd prize, etc. with at least something available to multiple winners. The absence of it proved they had no faith in the athletes and more importantly, no pull with other sponsors to come up with a consolation prize for Geoff. That alone is evidence that they don't have the power they think they have.

I think the prize has to remain the same...people would not watch it anymore if they lowered the prize money. After all, everybody wants to be a millionaire, right Regis Philbin???
