I haven't watched enough of an episode yet to know what is going on

But the way they give out the 'balls' at the start is good with the lottery style machines. Camelot should be watching, make's the Lotto machines look boring

Jasper Carrott is an interesting choice for a host, but at least it isn't an obvious boring choice

Nope, Endemol


Explains why it's so shiite


Would you say the same about Deal or No Deal and Big Brother? I would hope not.


Errr, yes?


Just what I was thinking -- BB certainly. DOND was OK for a while, but it's one of those formats that's a smash'n'grab -- blows you away for about 2 months, then becomes dull.

Problem is, Endemol have about one big idea every 3 or 4 years, then produce 30,000 variations on the theme. I guess that's just par for the course though.

Not seen this one, will give it a go next week. So it's DOND crossed with Shafted then right?

It's a show which to me, gives us more of a view on gameshows these days.. no life, no fun, and confusing rules that you can't understand when you watch for the first time. It's that, or more cheesy then a packet of Wotsits (cough Price Is Right cough).

I saw this the other day - what a nasty little programme it is too. Celebrating cheating, lying and selfishness by rewarding the person who steals sums up the way society has gone in recent years.

It was also confusing and downright boring.

And it has the same ending as Shafted but players have to decide weather to Steal or Split. I'd dont see why more people dont steal becuse if your gonna lose you dont want the other person to take it all.


...because if the other person "steals" as well, "yow bowth gow howme with nuffink" <"more Black Country than Solihull accent" emoticon>.

I watched for a few minutes.... then I decided that watching Judy F shaking like a flat-pack wardrobe and listening to Richard Madeley talking out his coalhole was far more entertaining.

But your choice isnt going to change the other ones choice so you might aswell take it all or have the other one win nothing aswell.

Oh I see what you mean now Very Happy Surely the kindest thing and most humane thing would be to split; then you both go home with something and your integrity is intact. Hmmm... maybe

In what capacity-- audience member or contestant? Lack of response shows how well the programme has been received on here Laughing
