The Rich List (2006–)
Storyline:
The Rich List 2006 Tonight, FOX premiered The Rich List, a new game show that touts being the richest show on television They also said that it was the most addicting game show since Who Wants to be a Millionaire That would have been an understatement The Rich List is even more addicting In fact, it is actually one of the best game shows I have ever seen Its odd for me to say that considering that I only saw one episode, but that was enough to know And Im a huge game show fan Usually, game shows ask questions that only have one answer This show has many more answers, usually more than 50 The questions on the show are actually quite easy, but its up to the teams on how many they are willing to answer An example was to name Tom Cruise movies Im not a fan of Tom Cruise, but I did have some of the titles in my head So to begin, a team said that they could name about 10 Now they go to the other team, and see how much they are willing to go for The amount gets higher until the other team folds, forcing the team with the highest amount to match the number of answers they said they could produce Then, they have to actually answer the amount they said they could If they match their number, they get a point If they get a single answer that isnt one of the eligible ones, the other team gets a point First one to two wins The bonus round works the same way, except they have to answer a set number of answers 15 For every three that they answer correctly, they win an amount of money The first three wins a modest amount of money, while the final three are worth huge amounts of money Well, its true that people can win millions, although it may take more than 1 episode to surpass the million dollar mark However, thats what makes the show so great contestants get to keep coming back if they win the main game, regardless of how they do in the bonus round What makes it even better is that the teams consist of 2 complete strangers It is very interesting to watch the teams work together For example, the first episode, one team had 2 very different people that really didnt seem to look like they would work well together However, as they worked together to win the game, they seemed to really become a team in the sense of winning for each other They went on to win 175,000 alone in the first episode and are coming back in the 2nd one Im really looking foreword to future episodes The gameplay is fantastic and the host keeps the contestants as well as the viewers on the edge of their seats Its a great game show that anybody can get into Heck, you might even scream at your TV a couple of times Trust me, youll love it
