![]() ![]() In general, I land in the same place I land with a lot of things at the moment – fundamentally solid, nothing especially wrong with it, a couple of elements that are quite impressive, but not compelling enough for me to make time for it. It’ll get it though as it’ll rate well tonight out of curiosity and schedules have to be locked this week. An idea that works on paper but revealing the celebs ranking (the first time I think we were aware they answered all the questions) then suddenly ditching 4 of them and saying the person in last place could win you the most money just seemed weird.Īt the moment a celeb version (why on earth it needs celeb contestants on top of 7 celebrity guests) is planned to air Christmas Day – but based on it’s first outing it really would not be suitable for the slot. Other than £10k for the golden celeb the prize building wasn’t obvious to follow, as viewers we weren’t really in on why celebs were being put in the red for incorrect questions when we never saw them answer a question and the final was just nonsense in it’s explanation. The biggest problem though, and granted it’s episode one, was the rules felt a bit Numberwang. Certainly need to abandon the idea of players switching in and out, pick up the pace and find a much better endgame which actually uses the shows central premise – The Wheel. It has a similar problem to Rolling In It really in that only the last question matters.Īlso a similar problem to 5 Gold Rings in that there is a good idea in there somewhere, but they’ll need a second series to fix the gameplay mechanism. I will most probably tune in to future episodes and I hope this is the first of many series. ![]() Get it wrong they lose.Īll in all this was a fun entertaining show. The contestant and celeb they have chosen answer one final question. If they choose the best ranked celeb, the money gets halved, if they choose the middling celeb the money stays the same, if they choose the worst celeb their money gets doubled. ![]() (4th out of 7) or the worst ranked celeb. In the final round the contestant can choose from the celeb that has answered the most questions correctly, the celeb that has done average. Here’s why the shows been keeping track of the celeb answers. The person that has answered the final category question correctly goes through to the final round. (question that just occurred to me while writing this, what happens if the celeb that is the expert of a category is also one that hasn’t been spun it yet, are they both silver and gold?) In the last category any celebrities that have not been spun in by the wheel are lit up in sliver, it doubles the standard £3000 to £6000 but it is not as high as the expert celeb. If the celeb gets a question wrong in their own subject, the next round they are in red, along with another celebrity that the contestant chooses. The celebrities are also answering the questions which serves as some good format points. This technically means a contestant could win by only answering 2 questions correctly but I doubt that will happen at all or if often. This is a very luck based format, the contestants are not always going to get the celeb expert, it’s 50 percent knowing the answers 50 percent luck. Some may view this as unfair but I think it fits the format. Once a question is answered correctly from a category, that category is off the board for all contestants. If the wheel lands on them, the contestant is out for this round and may or may not come back. They also choose a celebrity that they don’t think would be any good in answering questions from that category and they are lit up in red. The celebrity that is the expert in the category they chose is lit up in gold, if the wheel lands on them, the money rises. They are asked to pick a category from the celebs subjects. ![]() The celebrities for the first episode were suzie dent, gok wan, Richard Arnold, Joey Essex, Jason Donovan and Mel B and dermot o leary (weirdest lineup for taskmaster)Ī wheel of 3 contestants are spun and one contestant is chosen. Some celebrities brought obvious subjects like gok wan with fashion or suzie dent with words, while others brought less obvious subjects like dermot o leary with world war II Each celebrity has been asked to bring in a specialist subject. The format is there are 3 contestants and 7 celebrities. Miles better than catchpoint and the hit list, shows I still can’t fathom how they got more than one series. Of all the Saturday night bbc gameshows to come out in recent years this was one of the most entertaining. ![]()
