Actually, one of the suits was because SPEED was a factor in the phone voting (and 
subsequently on the final selection challenge to sit in the hot seat), so a person 
felt discriminated against because they think _slowly_.

Which in fact does have to do with mental ability. Not necessarily with intelligence, 
but with reaction/computational speed.

As my math teacher in high school, Mr. King, always said - "you've gotta be fast _and_ 
accurate".

*sigh* Phoeun,
It had nothing to do with mental ability. They were referring to the fact
that in order to get on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" a person had to be
able to use the number keys on a phone. So if, for example, you can't move
your arms, it's pretty hard to punch numbers, while your brain may be
completely capable of answering the stupid questions.
