A Millionaire lifeline cast aside

From CNN.com comes word this week that the daily syndicated version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is planning on eliminating the Phone-A-Friend lifeline sometime in the near future. This seems like a terrible idea consider how synonymous that lifeline has been to the show. 'Can I phone a friend' became a popular catchphrase after the debut of the show. It's unclear also why they are getting rid of it. Some say it's a financial decision, but frankly I never thought that many contestant actually got that much help from this lifeline, like the guy in the video below.
