\\\'\\\'Show do Milhão\\\'\\\', the so-called Brazilian version... Looking at it and how it works, it may be better described as an early foreign example of WhoWantsToBeWhoWantsToBeAMillionaire rather than a version of the show. Here\\\'s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCOpV--LPvY an example of gameplay]] from YouTube, if a visual would help anyone (I wish I could be more helpful and link a subtitled video, but I doubt I\\\'ll find any).
The show apparently didn\\\'t resemble the original British version at all even from the beginning, aside from the fact that it was close to fifteen questions for a million reais (sixteen at first... but later this became \\\'\\\'[[BeyondTheImpossible twenty-four]]\\\'\\\') and you had {{Lifelines}}. But as the video shows, the set looks and sounds nothing like the original (even the US version is still close visually, even without the hotseat and with the new music) and there\\\'s other important differences in gameplay.
* No safe havens; instead, it\\\'s AllOrNothing on the million-real question and All Or Half on every question leading up to that.
* No {{Lifelines}} can be used on the last question even if you have some left over, and none of the ones that were available resembled those of \\\'\\\'Millionaire\\\'\\\' all that directly. The only one that was even close was something like the Jump the Question of the new US format.
I\\\'d really like some help looking into this to see if it really belongs. As I said before, to me it looks more like [[WhoWantsToBeWhoWantsToBeAMillionaire an imitator]] than a national variant of the same show, so I\\\'m not sure examples of it should really go here. I don\\\'t know if it was ever confirmed by an official source that the show was a broad-stroke adaptation from the British \\\'\\\'WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire,\\\'\\\' but from what I\\\'ve seen, there doesn\\\'t seem to be a clear connection.
