The American version of 1 vs. 100 is broadcast by NBC. As in other formats, a single player (the 1) goes up against 100 other contestants (the "Mob"). The 1 gains money for every 10 Mob members eliminated, but loses all winnings with an incorrect answer at any point. The host is actor-comedian Bob Saget, and the top prize is $1,000,000 US. The show premiered on NBC October 13, 2006 at 9:00 PM.[1] On October 20, 2006, it was reported that NBC ordered 10 additional episodes of 1 vs. 100, citing the show's encouraging ratings performance.[2] The show returned with these new episodes on December 1, 2006.

The game always opens with Saget saying "This game is simple. Either you will win . . . or they will win." Contestants are given a question with three possible answers. After answering a question correctly, any player in the 100-person mob who failed to answer the question correctly is eliminated from play. The player's winnings increase for every ten members of the mob they eliminate (see table, right). If after any correct answer the entire 100-person mob has been eliminated, the contestant wins the grand prize of $1,000,000.


Once a player reaches a set prize limit (the exact amount is not known for certain, but no later than $50,000; in fact, this may happen even once the player has $1,000, but edited out for time), they are asked whether they want the Money (quit) or the Mob (continue playing at risk of losing the money). After every subsequent question, a player may either quit or continue, if he/she answers correctly. Saget gives the contestant two choices, "The money or the mob?" Whenever a contestant decides to take on the mob, Saget then announces, "It's 1 vs. ...", followed by the number of mob members left after the last question (e.g. if there are 79 mob members left, Saget will say, "It's 1 vs. 79!"), and play continues as before. The player is not given any information about the next question unless 10 or fewer Mob members remain, or no helps are available. At this point, the player is given a Sneak Peek, where they can see the next question, but not the answers, before deciding whether or not to continue.


Contestants have three forms of assistance, or "helps," available to use at any point during the game:

  • Poll the Mob: Contestants pick one of the three answers. The number of mob players who chose that answer is revealed. Originally contestants could ask one of those players why he/she chose that answer, although the player was allowed to lie; in the most recent shows this has not been offered.
  • Ask the Mob: One mob member who answered correctly and one who answered incorrectly are chosen at random. Each explains his/her decision to the contestant. Mob members must tell the truth as to which answer they chose, but do not have to tell the truth as to why they chose that answer. This automatically eliminates one wrong answer, thus leaving contestants with a 50-50 chance of picking the right answer. If all mob members answer incorrectly, the solo player will be permitted to talk to one mob member and then will be informed that their answer is incorrect. If all mob members answer correctly, the solo player isn’t told that and is given the option to lock the answer in. This can also occur if all the mob members answer incorrectly, but choose the same incorrect answer.
  • Trust the Mob: Contestants commit to choosing the answer chosen by the largest number of mob members. If there is a tie for two answers, the solo player has a choice to one of those two answers.

Contestants may use multiple helps on a single question, but may only use each help once during the game. It is possible (as shown in episodes 2 and 6) that a mob member may be picked for both the Poll the Mob and Ask the Mob, even on the same question. The solo player must make their decision on their answer within 10 minutes (after this time, the host will prompt for an answer, after which the solo player must answer within one minute). Mob members have only fifteen seconds (longer than most versions, which is usually six, as in the Australian version, where the time is unedited) to submit their choice, even though it's edited down when it's aired.[9]


When a contestant answers incorrectly, he/she leaves with nothing; unlike other versions of the show, any Mob members who correctly answered that question split the contestant's earnings. (Mob members who answer incorrectly are eliminated, and win nothing.) The remaining Mob members can continue playing as long as they answer correctly, giving themselves more than one opportunity to win money. If everyone gets a question wrong, no one wins any money. No prize money is given away that game and all new people are brought in.[10]


As of January 4, 2008, the prize structure is now determined by the number of mob members that are eliminated. Therefore, every 10 mob members eliminated increases the amount for the solo player. If all of their helps have been used up, they are entitled to get a "sneak peek" at the next question, before deciding to either walk with their winnings, or take on the mob. The multiple choices would not be revealed until the solo player makes their final decision. is the 4th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... 2008 (MMVIII) is the current year, a leap year that started on Tuesday of the Anno Domini (or common era), in accordance to the Gregorian calendar. ...


Programming history

When the show was in development, one of its working titles was Eliminator. Some of the rules that were tested would have made the game more complicated (e.g., there were ways for eliminated ‘mob’ members to be returned to the game). Elimination ladders were similar to the original Dutch version, winnings were determined based on the cumulative number of Mob members eliminated, and of the three "dodges," one "dodge" was a second chance (which would be used in the French version of the game). Among those who auditioned to be host were Alan Thicke, Billy Bush, Bronson Pinchot, and Jim Lampley. Alan Thicke (born Alan Willis Jeffrey on March 1, 1947 in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian actor, songwriter, game show host and talk-show emcee. ... William Hall Billy Bush (born October 13, 1971), co-host of the syndicated NBC Universal TV show Access Hollywood. ... Bronson Alcott Pinchot (born May 20, 1959) is an American actor. ... This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...


Even after the show debuted, there was considerable reworking of the rules and format. For instance, the value of eliminated mob members was different during the show's initial run of five episodes:

Question 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12+
Episodes 1-2 $100 $500 $1,000 $2,000 $3,000 $4,000 $5,000 $6,000 $7,000 $8,000 $9,000 $10,000
Episodes 3-5 $100 $250 $500 $1,000 $1,500 $2,000 $3,000 $4,000 $5,000 $6,000 $7,500 $10,000

Contestants were also able to stop after every question on the first five episodes, and the only two helps were "Poll the Mob" and "Ask the Mob," which had to be used in that order (and were just called "First Help" and "Second Help"). A massive lighting and graphic update was added on episode 6. Examples of this include yellow lighting when faced with the Money or Mob decision, flames bursting outwards in the mob when the contestant elects to go on, and purple electric plasma flowing inwards when the solo player chooses to use a help.


The January 19 episode saw two players lose to the mob for the first time. The game on February 23 saw two players lose as well. Both of those players had all three helps left. Contestant Lou Siville became the first solo contestant to take the money rather than the mob after the first opportunity to quit. He left one help on the table. The March 16, 2007 episode included a special feature at the end of the game, where the contestant can bet all winnings on one more question, which must be answered without the use of helps or the involvement of the mob. If correct, the contestant's money is doubled. If incorrect, the contestant loses everything. If the contestant chooses not to play, then this special round is played for fun, to see what would happen. It is unclear if the "Double or Nothing" round will be implemented in future episodes. The contestant on the March 16, 2007 episode decided not to risk doubling her winnings to $306,000. She would have answered the question correctly. is the 19th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... is the 54th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... is the 75th day of the year (76th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

In Spring 2007, the set was revamped, as well as a new ladder for winning money, which was as follows:

Question Value
1, 2, 3 $1,000
4, 5 $2,000
6 $3,000
7 $4,000
8 $5,000
9 $6,000
10 $7,000
11 $8,000
12 $9,000
13+ $10,000

In this money ladder, the contestant must answer the first three questions correctly, before deciding whether to take the money or play on. Then, for the $2,000 tier, the contestant must answer two more before deciding. All other tiers were as before, with the contestant offered to stay or go after each question.


Notable records include the $343,000 won by Barry Lander on January 12, 2007, which was the most ever won by the solo contestant until Jason Luna became the show's first millionaire . The most money ever lost to the mob was $263,000 by Raul Torres (February 16, 2007). The most money ever won by an individual mob member was $62,600 by Dennis Cisterna III, and a waitress named Chloe, over three shows while facing four contestants (February 23, 2007). The most questions answered by a mob member was 49 by Ned Andrews (December 15, 2006 through January 19, 2007).[11] The highest number of mob members defeated was 95 by poker player Annie Duke (February 9, 2007, the "Last Man Standing" episode).

Season Two

The show's second season premiered on January 4, 2008, and two games were played. One put 100 men against a woman, the other was the reverse. On that show, Jason Luna, a 21-year old from San Diego faced the 100-women mob, and won the one million dollars.

Criticism

Early criticism of the first episode asserted that the questions tend to be far less difficult than the average game show. An early question on the show was based on a theme of word play, "What Hawaiian appetizer is often found on Asian cuisine menus?" came with the potential answers: a) pu-pu platter b) ka-ka combo c) du-du delight. Eight of the 100 got it wrong, proving Bob Saget's point: "You never know what they will or won’t know."[12] The questions have been difficult enough to eliminate several notable members of the mob, including Jeopardy! champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, and three million-dollar winners from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (see below). Even into the second season the questions were very easy. One example, even asked later in the game, was "Which country's national anthem includes the name of the country in its title?" The answers were a) The United States (The Star-Spangled Banner) b) Canada (O Canada) c) The United Kingdom (God Save the Queen). Image File history File links Unbalanced_scales. ...

The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem of the United States. ... For other uses, see O Canada (disambiguation). ... Publication of an early version in The Gentlemans Magazine, 15 October 1745. ...


Further criticism revolved around the composition of the Mob. While there have been a number of teachers, valedictorians and other professionals, much of the Mob resembles a typical studio audience with surfers, waitresses and models.[13] But this is understandable since most questions revolve around popular culture and not scholarly topics, although scholarly topics are often used now (civics, geography, and medicine have been among the types of questions more prevalent in recent episodes). Popular culture (or pop culture) is the widespread cultural elements in any given society that are perpetuated through that societys vernacular language or lingua franca. ...


Other criticism involved the drawn-out nature of the show. Format changes were instituted to speed up gameplay. At first, the show would reveal mob members who missed a question one-by-one; then all mob members who missed the question were shown at once. It has since switched back to the original method, with occasional dramatic pauses between money tiers. Also, answers to questions are generally revealed more quickly, and there is less chitchat between Saget and mob members between questions. Contestants are now required to answer three questions before they can exit the game, which eliminates pauses while they make their decision to either walk away with the money they have earned or continue playing.

The You vs. 100 at home game would have been worth $25,000 to the lucky winners in the Eastern US, plus the Mountain and Pacific time zones, but because the Philadelphia Eagles-Dallas Cowboys football game ran late and the Christmas episode of Deal or No Deal also ran past its scheduled time in both the Eastern and Central time zones, the contest was not held at all. 1 vs. 100 was joined in progress in the Eastern and Central zones following Deal or No Deal, while the entire show aired in the Western U.S. The $25,000 giveaway was rescheduled for January 19, 2007, during a regular episode.

Last Man Standing

Former top mob members, including Brad Rutter, Ken Jennings, Nancy Christy, Kevin Olmstead, and Annie Duke among others were in the mob for a "last man standing" game where the winner got a guaranteed $250,000. The rules were a little different, in that there were no helps, no money for each question, and one person, in this case, Annie Duke, was randomly selected to be the "one". Thus, this game was actually 1 vs. 99. Also, she did not have the opportunity to walk away from the game (this rule is also used on many foreign versions of the show).
