Talk:1 vs. 100 (US game show)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] {{Dubious}} tag
The article asserts that the next contestant is taken from the pool of 100. In the show that aired today, this didn't seem to happen. Can we get a clarification please? --Roninbk t c e # 05:36, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, the next contestant is *NOT* chosen from the pool of 100, but I believe mob members are eligible to be chosen as players.
[edit] Third column?
It is mentioned as a table of values for the 3rd episode and after, but it's not there... Can someone who knows it add it in? 64.121.55.220 05:59, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- Why don't we wait until the third episode airs first, that way we can verify that it actually exists? --Roninbk t c e # 07:31, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- In both cases, the money ladder different from what was originally posted in this article, in any case... it maxes out at $10,000 after 12 questions instead of 13. But like it's been said, perhaps we should wait for more episodes to air before making a judgment. --Scani 14:05, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Members of the Mob section
Considering the mob rotates frequently enough (and only players that carry between games), I don't really see the purpose of this section, and think that chronicling the people in the mob from episode to episode will be far too difficult. If anything, any particular mob members should be included in an Episode Guide for the show - so I've condensed this down to a "Notable Mob Members" section where Megan and Ken are listed. This can be edited to include Millionaire winners, etc. when we get to the episodes where they appear directly. --Scani 14:05, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- I removed the following members from the page, inviting comment
- Rebecca (An Outdoor Educator) [#42] (Episode 2)
- Kristen [#50] (Episode 2)
- Eric Ricco (#79) Episode 2
- Darren Esman (Mensa Member) from Episode 2
- Debby (#64) A Brain Surgeon from Episode 2 of the Show
- Just because they are mentioned in the show does not establish notability. We don't even know the last names of some of these. If any of these people can be shown to be notable in their own right, they can go back. --RoninBKETC 07:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
I think that the American section of the 1 vs. 100 article should be merged into this article. Then, the information can be removed (and/or summarized in the 1 vs. 100 article), with a
- For the American version of 1 vs. 100, see 1 vs. 100 (US game show). at the top of the 1 vs. 100 article, and keeping the
- at the top of the section in the main article. Thoughts? If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 20:23, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- I agree that these should be merged, though I am not sure which way. The (US game show) article seemed to be a mere copy of the parent article section, with an added list of contestants that might not survive a WP:CRUFT challenge. I even considered an AfD for the American page. I like the idea of only editing one copy. --RoninBKTCE# 04:53, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- A question I have is whether or not the main page needs some work done on it before it is merged. It seems to duplicate a lot of the same text in all the subheadings (various rules seem to appear again and again). Things that are common with each version of the gameshow should be included before listing all the various different country versions of the article. After that is done it would be easier to see if it should be merged, or if the "US game show" page should be "merged" into the main page. Radagast83 21:42, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- I would suggest that this article needs to be merged into the main 1 vs. 100 article. At this point, there is no reason for the American version to have a separate page. Erechtheus 16:36, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rules Summary
Let me get this straight, once the contestant's pot reaches $1,000,000, the game is over?Apple1013 21:32, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- Mathematically, yes. Even in an extremely unlikely scenario where no mob members were eliminated in the first eleven rounds, $1,000,000 is the maximum possible prize pool, ($10,000 x 100) --RoninBKETC 22:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm unsure, but I believe that if a contestant eliminates all 100 mob members, he or she automatically wins $1,000,000. (Although it does seem that it would be highly unlikely for a contestant to opt to try for the million, as it would be statistically as difficult to get the mob from 4 to 1 as it would be 100 to 25. Should this be included as a criticism?) Matt 01:19, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- I wouldn't, unless I could find a source that asserts it as one. Let's try to avoid as many unsourced opinions as possible here. --RoninBKETC 02:55, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ehh, looks like they changed the question values on the third episode, which should fix the problem anyways. Matt 20:00, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] {{fact}} tag
I'm removing the {{fact}} tag from the sentence, "When a contestant chooses to leave the game, the remaining mob members continue on to the next contestant. Members who were eliminated are replaced." though I don't know how to back up the fact, except to echo Mr. Saget's direct words to that effect. --RoninBKETC 04:25, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New prize structure
now, it appears that the first three questions get you $1000 per each mob member eliminated, then "you move out" and go on to 2000 per member, 3000 per member, etc--Chiyocide 01:08, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 25% guarantee
What is this "25% guarantee" that is mentioned in the Trivia section? "If the contestant refuses the 25% guarantee, there is a chance that it would be edited out in post-production, creating an illusion that the contestant wasn't offered the guarantee." If this is outdated/obsolete, please let me know what it is anyway. Vuongc 10:10, 7 December 2006 (UTC)vuongc
