'1 vs 100' - See What All The Fuss is About - And Learn How You Can Cash In On the Action

By now you're probably sick of hearing all the flap about NBC's newest game show 1 vs 100. You may even be avoiding the game show out of spite.

If you are resisting the urge to watch, now is the time to stop. Because NBC has just hit one way out of the park with this one.

Here's how it works (for those of you who are too embarrassed to admit to your friends that you don't know how to play the game.)

Two teams compete against one another. On one side you've got just one individual. On the other side you got a team of 100 (also referred to as “The Mob.”)

Play begins by asking all 101 people a trivia question. And that first question is worth, say $500. Those who get the question right remain in the game. Those who answer incorrectly are eliminated.

But . . .there are a few catches:

Catch # 1 - If the contestant (the one) answers the question correctly, he/she gets not only the $500, but he/she will also multiply that dollar amount by the number of “Mob” members who missed the question.

So, for example: If the first question asked is worth $500, and the contestant answers correctly, and 10 of the Mob members miss the question, then the contestant earns $5,000. (A $500 question x 10 Mob members who answered incorrectly = $5,000)

Catch # 2 - Those Mob members who answer incorrectly are also eliminated from the game.

So, if for instance 10 members of the Mob answer incorrectly in Round One, then only 90 members of the Mob are eligible to answer the question in Round Two. (In other words, it's now 1 vs 90)

Catch # 3 - Each successive question is worth more money.

In other words, Round # 1's question may only be worth $500/ incorrect Mob response. But Round # 2's question may be worth $1,000/ incorrect Mob Response. And so on.

Catch # 4 - After every round the contestant is given a choice: “The Money. . .Or the Mob?” (i.e. The contestant can walk away with the money they've earned . . .or they can continue to play by taking on what's left of the Mob.)

As long as the contestant continues to answer the questions correctly, play continues and the cash continues to pour in.

But. . .the moment the contestant gives an incorrect answer, game play stops, and the contestant loses everything. All of it. And the contestant's winnings are distributed among the remainging Mob members.

Catch # 5 - Former Jeopardy champion Ken Jennings is in the Mob.

In conclusion, if you like game shows; and if you like trivia watch the show.

Honestly, “1 vs 100” is an outstanding twist on the marriage of “Jeopardy” and “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” Bob Saget is full of quick-witted one-liners, as the game show's host. And NBC makes it easy to audition for the part of the contestant, for those who want to play.

Either way, take the show for a test drive. Give it 30 minutes; and it will have you yelling at your own TV in no time.
