This is just a guess, but I'm thinking maybe they're going to go with a "Deal or No Deal. You have ten seconds to decide," followed by some kind of flashy music bed and a long slow zoom on the player agonizing over the decision.

With a properly warmed-up audience [ ;-) ] the screaming is deafening. The player is making various signals looking for advice from his family/friends seated nearby on a couch, while they are all signaling "stop" and/or "go". With all the insanity, the red flashing button makes for a definitive response while the camera shots alternate between the contestant, his family/friends, the button, and the audience.
