The Russian-born social media influencer Olga Potemkina, who competed on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?", had to use a lifeline due to struggling with the very first question. The question and options that left Potemkina almost stunned were quite remarkable.
The highly followed competition program "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" drew attention in its latest episode with the challenging moments experienced by one of the contestants.
STUMBLED ON THE FIRST QUESTION
Olga Potemkina, born in Russia, hesitated on the question she faced at the very beginning. Stating that she did not know the meaning of the word "toothpick," Potemkina had to use her 50-50 lifeline on the first question, "Which one is generally used to clean teeth?" With the help of the lifeline, the contestant reached the correct option and continued in the competition by passing the threshold.
REACHED THE 300 THOUSAND TL QUESTION
The 30-year-old contestant showcased a more relaxed performance in the later questions of the program she participated in from Istanbul. Potemkina managed to rise to the question worth 300 thousand TL in the competition. However, she bid farewell to her dream of the grand prize due to an incorrect answer at this stage.
BECAME A SOCIAL MEDIA PHENOMENON
On the other hand, it was learned that Olga Potemkina is not only notable for her performance in the competition but also for her social media identity. Potemkina is reported to be a content creator with high follower accounts on X, Instagram, and TikTok.
