It St Patrick Kielty’s Day! The one day of the year where everyone goes into a pub and reminisces over Last Chance Lottery<\/strong>, and what might have been if only ABC had shown the six episodes of Deal or No Deal<\/strong> they filmed before binning it and letting NBC have the hugely successful\u00a0format.<\/p>\n

In other news, everybody wants to point out the story about French\u00a0Milgram experiment dressed up as a game show Le Jeu de la Mort<\/strong><\/a>. I would be quite interested in seeing this. Will people play along with unreasonable things for TV? Evidently yes.<\/p>\n

Interestingly there was a game on Aussie Mole<\/strong> that played off of a similar idea – one contestant was taken away and secretly taught to act as if pain. They were then pretendly wired up to a device that could give electric shocks. The rest of the\u00a0team were given a twenty question quiz – to win the cash for the task they just had to get to the end of the twenty questions, but every time they gave a wrong answer, an electric shock apparently increasing in intensity each time would pretend to be administrated to the contestant who they could see on a screen. To earn a free pass to the next episode, he had to convince the rest of the team (who held the power) to stop the game. What followed was very interesting – several of the team were happy to stop about halfway through but others were vocally not so, apparently twigging that doing it for real just wouldn’t be allowed.<\/p>\n
