Is that what it’s going to be billed as in the magazines? Really? Cadburys want to send me chocolate and fun CSVSMTWI things, and as I thought the show was good and I like the chocolate, I’m happy to shill for a bit. SUCK IT UP.
Anyway, here’s the official site and here is the official trailer – I don’t think many if any clips are from the actual version we’ll be seeing in the UK. The graphics are completely different:
You can download the decathalon pack here. But what you might be more interested in is the presentation of the blueprints. As you can see, a bit diferent to normal:
The show starts August 30th. Spots v Stripes is a Cadburys initiative to get the country playing in the run-up to the Olympic Games. I just noticed today that Wispa’s have lots of spots on them and Dairy Milks have stripes – I’m going to have to side with the spots on this one. Edit: Actually it sounds like the wrappersd are random. I thought I had CRACKED SOME SORT OF CODE.
is that paul turner doing the blueprints?
Yep, it’s him.

Twirls have two different wrappers, it’s random if it’s spots or stripes. I suspect the same is true of the others, too.
Oh man! I just noticed it at work today and thought I was on to something.
You can watch other blueprints afterwards – I have no idea how the scoring will work in Temper Tantrum, unless it is a cash builder game. Throughout the show one thing = one point. Points are cumulative for the teams while they fight it out.
It’s the long awaited debut of Do A Thing And Win A Point!
(Yes, it SHOULD be SOME points, but shh.)
Christ, I should have been rich 🙁
I’ve read some more info about the Italian Odd One In
the teams are playing for money: each teams starts with €200,000 and each wrong choice will result in a deduction from their bank. after 3 rounds the team with the most money plays the final game for the money in the bank. if they fail, they still get 10% of their bank.
debuts August 21 probably at 8PM Italian time, hosted by Max Giusti.
Minute to win it pilots air on Sept.11, 18, 25 and Oct 2 I don’t know the time but it must be instead of L’Eredità
forgot to tell the final title of Odd One In, it’s Colpo D’occhio, meaning “at a glance”

On the plus side, since it’s not in english they probably won’t misuse the word decimate to describe that.
tough luck, we misuse it as English speakers do
This is looking really good, almost too good to be an ITV2 show. Is it going to be a “surprise” breakout hit and get transferred to ITV1?
Spotted an Oreo used in one game and thought it was a bit of a slip-up, then realised Kraft own that too. This is cute use of the product placement rules. Hoping for a Milka based challenge, as I prefer that to Dairy Milk.
Wonder if this “spots vs. stripes” is going to show up on Cadbury bars that get imported to our “British shoppes” (which cater to expatriates), or to a growing chain called Rocket Fizz (which carries a number of excellent UK candy bars.)
Interesting to see that the UK version goes for a voice that sounds like a defrocked disc-jockey, rather than the cool female voices heard on our own version and on “Die perfekte Minute”. I guess turnabout is fair play!
Is that what it’s going to be billed as in the magazines? Really?
A listings editor writes: it’s “Minute to Win It”, and that’s final. In the same way that “Style the Nation” doesn’t have its advertiser-funder in the show name, and that programme on Channel 5 after “Home and Away” is called “TV”. Well, that last one’s more accurate.
Spots v Stripes is a Cadburys initiative to
Just… no. No, don’t get me started.
Yum, Cadburys!
In the same way that just because The Big One at one point claimed to be called Pepsi Max: The Big One didn’t mean it’s name wasn’t simply The Big One?
…How come nowadays that just sounds like a two hour One Show special?
