If Bob Saget is as annoying on this show as he was on AFHV, I'll be changing the channel real quick.

Look on the bright side. He's not the worst TV host to ever come from the set of Full House. [bad Bullwinkle]HEY ROCKY!!![/bB]

The name escapes me at the moment, but Coulier was already a TV host before FH. It was a Nick show.

That show would be "Out of Control".

It's becoming apparent that the production companies only want actors for hosts, and no one else....Mandel started an ugly trend...O Hurley, Ricki Lake, Saget....who's next for Joker/CLock? and when barker hangs it up, will we be treated to brad garrett playing plinko?
[/quote]
For me, it depends on how good a host each individual is. Howie Mandel and John O'Hurley have already proven themselves worthy of presiding over a game show. Ricki Lake has most decidedly not. For me, the jury is still out on Saget. Therefore I don't see this as being a good or bad thing one way or the other.

Buzzerblog has posted the rules they they ended up using....and I think they may have turned it around just in time....

What's not really clear, unless I'm missing something really obvious, is if the money ladder increases retroactively for players already knocked out. To wit:

One answers Question 1, takes out five Mob members. Takes $500 into Question 2, where the One gets another four. Is the One's current bank:

a) ($100 x 5) + ($250 x 4) = $1500, or

b) $250 x 9 = $2250?

Hopefully the latter. 'Cuz if it's the former, the only way you can win the full million is if the entire Mob lasts to Question 13 and THEN the One knocks out the whole set. Also, under that second set, is the game over after 13 questions, or does the One get to stick around and keep knocking out players at $10K per as long as they like?

It's A....I asked at Buzzerblog about it, and it's a cumulative total....and I like this change, it's sort of like the formula version the original series overseas uses...

Then claiming a $1,000,000 prize is totally disingenuous. Yeah, it COULD happen, but it never will. The theoretical prize on Weakest Link was just as annoying.

Doesn't answer my second question (whether the game ends regardless after Q13) either. If it does, then that claim goes from disingenuous to flat ridiculous.

I may have forgotten to put that, but if you eliminate all 100, your total is augmented to $1,000,000. It may not be perfect, but it's the best format that I've seen that the US has put together so far, IMO. The game does not end after question 13. It's just a glass ceiling that you cannot get above, money wise per question. I should put those in there, thanks.

But people have beaten the 100 on the original show (and it's the only way to win any money AT ALL there)....and having the money be augmented to $1 million makes for some interesting decisions....Say the One eliminates 10 people on each of the first 9 questions (using the episode 3 scoring system)...

1000+2500+5000+10000+20000+30000+40000+50000+60000= $218,500.

So the One must decide if he's willing to risk 75% of that total (because if he quits during a question, he only gets 25% of it) for the additional $781,500 he'd get for knocking out the remaining 10.

tvwxman · « **Reply #40 on:** August 14, 2006, 05:31:48 PM »

The problem (amongst many) is : let's say you knock out 90 folks by question 6....you've earned 40-50K....but now , you're risking a lot of money for what may be just an additional 7-8K per person remaining.

And the mob, who likely isn't going to ever see a dime, thanks to contestants bailing on such a lopsided money tree, will also never be able to win the big bucks as the 'one'.... they should run a tally with the mob to see who the fastest correct responder is , AND then THAT person gets to advance to the prime position. Otherwise, they're going to need 100 contestants per game, and they're going to have to sell them on the chance to win only a few bucks.

As a guy who got called to fly out on my own dime, be in the mob for one game, and then use up my one game show opportunity for a year in the process: Pass.

You're talking about the augmentation for $1M being in effect for Week 3 and beyond as well as Weeks 1 and 2, yes?

Yessir. Again, I would much prefer something like a formula, but this is better than "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" x 100, which is what we had not too long ago. I just don't see that big of a flaw with what is here right now. Yeah, you're risking tens of thousands for potentially just 6K or 7K so people would stop, but then you give up your chance at a million by eliminating the rest. Yeah, the odds of eliminating all of them in one swoop like that are tough, but it could potentially happen.

I see. You not only forgot to put that, but you DID put it in the first scale and excluded it from the second, which was the source of my confusion.

That's interesting, then. With that system, it certainly puts the incentive on the player to play on to knock out that last guy, since Mob Member #99 is worth $10,000, but Mob Member #100 will very likely be worth a few hundred thousand more.

Yeah, sorry. It's been a really busy day. My mistake.
