There's a new gameshow starting on Monday at 9PM on Challenege with Chris Tarrant as the host.

The contestants work in teams to answer 15 questions to win up to a potential £150,000, but it's not up to the contestants to answer the questions, they have to choose from a 32 strong celebrity panel who they think got the answer wrong.

Now at first I wasn't keen on the idea of the show but after reading some more about it in the TV guides, it sounds like it could be quite entertaining. Plus with an experienced host like Chris at least it's in capable hands. I'll reserve judgement till i've seen it and decide for myself if "this is the best game format i've seen in years"(Mark Wells).

I'm going to watch it, it seems quite good!

But im a little confused on how the show works, but i guess once ive seen the first show i'll understand it!

What! There's NOT going to be a prime-time version of DoND with Chris Tarrant as host?

Well I watched the first episode tonight and it's not bad.

The concept is interesting and I suspect it might do well for Challenge. I think I prefer it to Take It Or Leave it. I'll give it a few more shows to see how it goes.

Well after watching this for a week I have to say it's an alright show. I don't think it quite has that 'special something' that hooks you like DOND, Millionaire has, but it's still enjoyable.

Basically the show works like this - As a team of two you have to try and guess who out of 5 celebrity's wouldn't know the correct answer. There is always one celebrity who doesn't know the answer, but there can be more. Each of the celebrity's has their own special subject in their field of knowledge, like chef Brian Turner would be an expert on food releated subjects.

Each question has 4 multiple choice answers that the celebrity's can choose, apart from the 'expert' who has no answers what so ever. The celebrity's aren't actually in the studio and all the questions have been answered by them before the show.

When you guess a celebrity who got the answer wrong your money goes up, however if you pick someone who knew the answer then you drop down to £0.

There are 5 levels of cash questions, which you can climb up and indeed come down again - level 1: £1,000 - level 2: £5,000 - level 3: £10,000 - level 4: £15,000 - level 5: £25,000. To go up a level you have to guess that you think the celebrity expert for the question wouldn't know the answer. If they don't you go up another level (and the way Chris says it just makes me laugh. A bit OTT.) Again if the celebrity you go for gets the question right your money drops to £0 and if you're on level 2 or above and have no money to lose, then you go down a level. There is always at least 4 (could be more) celebrity experts in a game who didn't know the answer to their related subject.

There is also one 'pass' lifeline you can use to skip a question, you'll gain no money, but you won't lose any either. But you can't use it on Q15.

Just before question 15 and depending on the amount you have earned by then, Chris will offer you some money not to go for Q15, for example in today's show (SPOILER) the jackpot they could win at that stage was £115,000. Chris started off by offering a £1,000, then raised it to £2,000 etc... until he stopped at £10,000. They could choose to 'deal' (as such) at £10,000 and go home with that, or 'no deal' and choose to play the question for the jackpot of £115,000. Get it right you win the lot, get it wrong and you go home with nothing, not even 1p. If you choose to 'deal' you still have to play the final question, but only for 'fun'.

i think this show is a load of crap,but thats my view
