The Inner Circle

New quiz with everybody’s favourite Eurovision jury returns officer Amanda Holden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve got a decent amount of intel on this, basically contestants are randomly allocated a secret cash amount from very small to \u00a34,000 (\u00a35,000 in the celebrity one). Through a number of quiz rounds and vote offs (“I’m worth \u00a34,000!” “No I’m<\/em> worth \u00a34,000!” etc) contestants are whittled down to two, who will do another quiz to add a little bit more money to their combined totals. Then they’ll do split or steal, the BBC hoping for viral moments of people stealing \u00a360 no doubt. Presumably the reason the celebs have civilians to partner with is because the prospect of stealing small amounts of money for charity would feel a bit rum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel like I’m a little bit prejudiced towards this already – likely not quizzy enough so it annoys quiz fans, not high stakes enough so it will annoy drama fans. Except for one round where you may be able to swap your value, the level of money you could walk home with is determined entirely by what you were allocated at the very start. We might get some between question stand-up from Holden. It’s Goldenballs<\/strong> except everyone’s only got one data point that sticks with them throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we’ve gone into things thinking it’d be a bit rubbish and changed our minds before so who knows? What we do know is that it’s not really worth analysing the numbers for the Celebrity Inner Circle<\/em> as it’s before Strictly<\/strong> so there’ll be 4-5 million people tuning in early that will bring its number way up (this is different to shows that are on after Strictly<\/em> where there’s no such guarantee as people are quick to switch off). The weekdaily show will be telling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
