… Bother’s Bar’s favourite Australian low budget cable television quiz 31 Questions is back. We like to put our money where our mouth is, so I threw a little their way. Six more to come after this one:
Lots of great gags, some clunkers (Complexity), end of round editing is a bit abrupt, really happy it’s back.
Community television, not cable. 😛
I’m so sad I was never free to attend a taping of this show.
On the 9th of September this year there is going to be quiet a big new show on RTL: “Die 2 – Gottschalk & Jauch gegen alle”. This will be the try to bring back one of the best known radio hosting duos of the 1980s as they have grown a lot and are now probably the best known hosts in Germany (as you all know anyway…). The show will be hosted by Barbara Schöneberger (I LOVE HER) and will see 500 people in the audience answering questions against Jauch and Gottschalk. It not just about knowledge, there will also be estimation questions (I really don’t know the English word for “Schätzfrage”). People will get the chance to participate at home via app and telephone and when they are drawn and get the question right (phone-in style), they can win 2000€. There will also be action rounds where one audience member will compete with another celebrity against Gottschalk and Jauch.
The only thing that sounds really great: the finale! The best audience member will answer estimation questions against the Two to win 100.000€. Every right answer will double the points won until then (whatever this will mean in the and), but the audience member is not alone. He/She can always use the same lifeline: “The wisdom of the public”. They use the public’s answer as their own. The catch: they have to share their winnings with one randomly drawn viewer at home. And if they take the lifeline another time, they have to share with another one and so on.
Well I think it sounds like good entertaining and I hope people will get involved and will watch it. Only thing that is weird: RTL shows it on a monday night. It’s the normal “Wer wird Millionär?”/Jauch-time-slot, but on friday nights they would also be able to use the Jauch-time-slot.
By the way “Alle auf den Kleinen” with Oliver Pocher will continue on the 7th of September, thus will be shown on Saturday nights from now on. And it has been shortened, it will end at 23:00 instead of 0:00.
That’s it from Germany today, i think 😉
Speaking of Germany, I did catch Cash Crash Friday- the two team format is a little better:
-They start both teams with 500,000
-There are still jokers available in most games, each with their cost, and they can buy three
-Most games they compete one team at a time, but a couple of games they play at the same time- and there are opportunities to teams to steal the other teams packets in those games
-Team with most cash left at the end plays the finale game to see how much they give to charity (and it was a little fairer than the first episode- they’re seated in a three-person chariot-type thing on rails on an incline. At the top of the rails is a large net which they have to throw the packets into, which slowly closes as the game goes on for 2 minutes. They can either have the person in front try to throw the packets in the net from the bottom of the rail, or try and pull themselves up on the incline so the throw is closer- but the packets are at the bottom of the incline).
