[edit] About the contestants winnings

Does anyone think that the number of questions and the potential amounts they could win should be added. Honestly, it should as it shows more detail of how far the contestants took to win. Show us you opinions, there might be an agreement...

To be honest, I don't think so. It's not really notable what someone could have won if they had not got it wrong. It should only be the amounts the contestant wins if they take the money (or win the million) or the amount the mob wins and per head what they receive. --Lakeyboy 05:23, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Would you call this trivia?

I have to question the current trivia in this article:

• The first episode, the first four answers were all B.
• In the first episode, questions that were displayed in the TV (not the studio screen), the answers were all in rows. After that, the answers were in columns.
• From the first three episodes, when the money or the mob option was shown on TV, the text was bolded. After that, the text wasn't bolded.
• After the first episode, a box at the bottom of the screen with the name of a "help" appeared when that help was being used, but not in the first episode.
• In the first episode, a single note was used for the sound that indicated that an answer had been locked in. After that, a long note was sounded after it, to fit in with a melody that was sounded after the note indicating that the answer had been revealed.

Any of it is hardly trivia. It should be for strange mob results, record winning / loss amounts and controversey if any comes to light. Not for things like "4 answers in a row were B. Fair enough if all answers for the night were B and then something would be out of the ordinary but not 4. And it's virtually irrevelvant to Wikipedia that text that used to bolded was unbolded. What do others think. I removed the trivia section once before but it got added it back so I want some feedback before I remove this pointless trivia again. --Lakeyboy 04:43, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

If you must insist, normally, TV shows should have an appropiate format that should be kept for ages. However, 1 vs 100 seems to change it so often that their format is not set. Therefore, these points should be mentioned for viewers. Also, if a viewer watches the first episode, skips a few and watches another episode of it few weeks later, they would question why the change of format in some cases. For example, in the American version of 1 vs 100, till episode 6 (I think), there was a change of format in the game where the contestant was able to use Trust the Mob. Therefore this trivia is relevant as it shows the changes of the show overall. I hope you understand my point Lakeyboy. If there's any questions, let me know. Willbender 07:07, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
