'wasted'

This evening comedian Meera Syal took part in the ITV show to try and win some money for the charity Alzheimer's Society.

The funnywoman got off to a good start, but doubted herself on the £16k question.
She had to decide what animal the word 'ursine' refers to out of a wolf, cow, bear or sheep.
Meera confessed: "I'm don't want to have to waste a 50/50 on this. I think it's bear...Or it is wolf?"
She used the lifeline just to be sure - which left cow and bear.
The writer felt much more confident answering the question and told host Jeremy Clarkson: "I'm pretty sure it's bear. C. Final answer."
The presenter replied: "Your gut was right that is the right answer!"

But fans of the much-loved show were confused about why she needed to her 50/50.
And they certainly weren't impressed she "wasted" it.
One took to Twitter and said: "can't believe she's getting such an easy question for 16k and wasting lifelines."
Another replied to their tweet: "All the questions have been quite easy this series. Dumbing down for the celebs?!"
A third added: "Shouldn’t have wasted your 50/50."
Meera ended up going home with a whopping £62,000 for her chosen charity.
Other fans were quick to point out it wouldn't have been as easy for a contestant playing in a "normal" episode.
Another said: "The questions are definitely easier when celebrities are playing for charity."
A third added: "I’m watching #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire and wondering if I’m suddenly quite clever or if the questions are getting easier? @ITV."
A fourth chimed in: "I’ve known all the correct answers so far which can only mean they’ve been p**s easy."
