any word on if the money is cumulative?

example:

Question 1: 40 people are eliminated.
Question Total: 40 x $100 =$4000


Question 2: 20 of the remaining 60 are eliminated:
Question total: 20 x $250 =$5000
Total: $4000 + $5000 = $9000

 

It is cumulative, yes. I think everyone needs to email NBC and thank them for at least keeping a semi-faithful format and eliminating the crap.

 

The least-worst variant they've used by a long, long way.

Heck, in some ways this is better than the Dutch formula; it's a whole lot clearer (which is one reason why they aren't using the Dutch formula in the first place I presume), there's a fixed prize for anyone beating all 100, and the escapes don't instantly drastically lower the stakes. And every game will result in someone winning something, even if it's a few grand spread across dozens of mob members if someone messes up early (it can happen, I've seen a truly spectacular crash on the Dutch version).

Not sure what the UK version will be like, but it may well be this. Heck, could it be that the UK decided on something like this and the idea got spread across the Atlantic by one or more Endemol staff?

 

Well it's nice to know that the format's better. However I do worry about one thing though...will THE ONE get unlimited time while THE MOB is timed in answering questions? Because if I remember, I have read that the mob was timed with the one having unlimited time.

 

I believe the mob still has 10 seconds to answer a question unless that's been changed. The new scoring system is much more workable than the other ones. Plus, a 25% bailout after a question is read is better than 10%. This will provide sone 5 & 6-figure wins to be had on some occasions. As for the logo, nothing eye-catching here. I guess it'll do.

 

The mob has 15 seconds to respond, and can change their response anytime within that 15 seconds. A few Mobsters had problems by answering either too early (before keypads are activated) or too late.

 

By the way, that is not the logo being used.

 

according to epguide.com deal or no deal starts sept 18th. so it would have to start after that unless NBC is going to run it on sept 11th at 8pm cst. I enjoyed bob saget on full house so i hope he does great on this because if he does and the gameplay is tight then I will watch it.
