1 VS 100

On Oct 13, 2006 NBC aired the international popular gameshow 1 VS 100.  It was hosted by Bob Saget who you would remember played Danny Tanner on Full House.  1 VS 100 was a hit for NBC on Friday Nights averaging over 10 million viewers.   I to this day still don't understand why NBC cancelled this show.  This was a very fun and exciting quiz show to watch on a Friday Night when there was nothing else on.  If you've never seen the show here is how it goes.  You as the 1 contestants will answer the same trivia question as the 100 mob members.  You see the question and the mob members see the question.  Before you give your answer though the mob members have 10 seconds to answer.  If they are right they stay in the game but if they are wrong the mob members are eliminated.  Bascially your goal was to outsmart 100 mob members to win a top prize.  I bought this game on DVD and I beat it three times.  I'm not a trivia expert and i love it.  Also you were given helps in the game Ask the Mob where two members are selected.  One gives the correct answer and one gives an incorrect answer.  There reasoning for there answers though may be designed to try and trip you up.  Poll the mob another help where you would select one of three answers you'd like to know more information about.  The number of mob members who select that answer is revealed.  The final help is Trust The Mob and that is where you are automatically locked in to the most popular answer by the mob.   This is one of the most exciting quizzer shows I've ever seen.  I still to this day think NBC was a fool to cancel this show.  The top prize on the NBC show was $1,000,000 if you eliminated all 100 mob members from the game.  On November 15,2010 GSN revived 1 VS 100.  The host of this version is Carrie Ann Inaba who you would know as one of the judges on the ABC hit show Dancing With The Stars.  The GSN version of 1 VS 100 top prize is for $50,000.  I feel that this version should have played for $100,000 or $250,000 even.  1 VS 100 is my second favorite quizzer behind Million Dollar Money Drop which i will talk about later.
