Eliminating the last ten players is not a 1:3 chance. It might take 5-10 questions, any of which you could get wrong yourself.

The aim of the game is to defeat 100 people, not 96. Therefore, the real "win" is for eliminating them all. Having a standard Millionaire-style money ladder would create too many opportunities where people quit just before the end, giving a kind of funny "semi win" situation which isn't very satisfying.

Also, do you know if there is a "risk" in play? In the Dutch version, you have to keep going on regardless. In the US version, is it a case of you keep the money if you fail? Or do you have to bank it then leave the game?

 

I was honestly hoping (and was thinking up money trees based on this format) that the pay scale would work "per single person eliminated", making it a little finer.

For example: each of the first 20 people eliminated is worth $500, next 20 are worth $1,000 each, and so on up in a natural progression. By the time you get up to the final 5 they're worth $100,000 or so and maybe that last one is worth a million or so for maximum drama. But in terms of simplicity, this does the trick.

I do agree with the jump up at the final level, though, on the same basis as David B above - the last several people are going to be a real pain to eliminate because they've proven themselves worthy by answering all the questions up to that point in the game. Problem is the games are going to get dragged out while the player still has $500,000 in their pocket. A Sisyphian struggle for the player in the hotseat.

Also something they should have pondered including - financial incentives for eliminating a player, or perhaps including an opportunity to "bribe" the audience. There's a cutthroat game right there.

 

wow parts of this sounds mean but as much as I like gameshows and Im not talking about reality shows. i may end up liking this show but i would have to see the design of the set and who is hosting and the gameplay before I could offically give my two cents on this gameshow. I am hoping that this will be on midseason but NBC isnt really putting anything on there fall schedule which is nuts and crazy. I also am wanting to know more info about The Con Test

 

There was a diffrent money scale according to what I saw in the Invision Boards. There, you don't win amything untill you knock out the first 25 mob members. Also, the panic buttons have changed to one of 3 scenerioes;

1-Dummy Question-where a ridiculously easy question is asked replacing the origimal question.

2-Specialty Question-a question from that player's specialty category replaces the original queston.

3-A 2-guess scenerio ala Double Dip where a player has 2 chances to answer a 3-answer multiple choice question.

They say any one of those scenerios woll be used only once. Not sure if it's random or a mob induced choice.

From what I can tell, they're tweaking it around quite a bit & haven't gotten it finalized just yet. We'll see what format they decide to go with

 

I wish they went with the more complex Dutch formula, I could see a lot more possible drama, especially on a very hard question. It would be easy enough to explain; "Jim, there are 73 contestants left who want to take your seat. Each one that is eliminated this round is worth $685 to you."

 

this show sounds like Jackpot meets Who Wants To Be A Millionare

 

Hopefully this is better than DoND.
