I e-mailed C4with this topic and they said that all contestants are kept apart before the show and they can disqualify the money if it is shared afterwards


Endemol being ****s, there.


Well not really; if contestants were allowed to share the money afterwards there wouldn't me much of a programme. They would just wait and vote off those that didn't want to share and then share it - probably not the arguments they are hoping for.


But they'd still have the problem of who to trust with the money in the first place, and greedy people who want the whole lot. Banning them from sharing the money is wrong, wrong, wrong. Would nine people come to a fair and equitable conclusion? We'll never know, because they're not allowed to. Is this a proper game, or is it just as Brig says, "Some people might have a fight - how exciting!"? **** Endemol and **** Channel 4. Hope they get a 0.001% share, the useless c****.

Love the E4 announcer tonight:

"Imagine Big Brother crossed with Deal or No Deal. What you would get would be nothing like Unanimous!"

Alex Humes (The 'host') was "Cosmonaut Yevgeny Ivanovich" in Space Cadets!!

Didn't recognise him - but he had a face I recognised if you know what I mean!


Quite enjoyed the show actually - loved the twist in the final part, and all the better for not being revealed beforehand.

The Fallout on E4 was pretty entertaining too - though why shows like that so often have guests on who obviously aren't interested I don't know. The random female host is Olivia Lee - one of the better female hosts currently around!

I was completely put off by the amount of "f offs" and "f'in" this. I watched "Have I Got News For You" instead!

Your loss.


They revealed a few more of the "secrets" on the E4 show - and interestingly it was probably the most popular contestant who had the worst secret, pretending he was dying from cancer.


And by the way - as difficult as it might be to believe but this is infact a C4 programme not made by Endemol. It's produced by Fox, who broadcast the original US version.

I caught the last half of it , it seemed ok. Its like youve mixed BB US, UK and OZ together, with a hint of Millionaire drama and tense and you have this show.

Ill watch it in full next week though, or if its repeated.

Is the E4 show repeated?

Missed it in order to watch 8 out of 10 cats!

It was OK, not particularly thrilling but not as mind numbingly dull and tedious as Big Brother 7. Really it's flaw is that it's 5 years too late. Had it been screened over consecutive nights I might have stuck with it, but I'm really not that interested enough to wait a week to find out what happens next. I think I'll stick with 'Have I Got News for You'.

Definately agree that consequtive nights would have been the best way to go - or at least airing it two or three times a week.


It reminds me a bit of Without Prejudice, the Lisa Tarbuck fronted show where a panel of five people had to decide on which of five contestants to award £50,000.


P.S. As for the argument of agreeing to split the money - if you were part of a group of strangers and someone said "Everyone vote for me and we'll split the money", would you trust them?
