I thought about watching this, but didn't. I like the concept (make a group of people unanimously vote for one of them to get $1.5 million, and they get less the longer they take), but I can't see the concept being interesting for more than one episode.

Any one watch it? Thoughts?

You say that like it's a bad thing.

i'm sure it somhow employs the fox network lying. Seems to be the pattern with their reality shows.

I watched it, I liked it, but the whole time I wondered how much of it was staged.

Was there a winner or is it an ongoing thing?

Why in gods name would anyone just agree to give someone else 1.5 million dollars? How is this show expected to end?

Well, I suppose when the timer runs out, no one gets anything.

yeah i wouldn't expect there to be any drama in this show, just a lot of bickering, lying, and crying.

No it goes on from week to week. Every week someone is eliminated and cant win the money, but their vote still counts. People cant vote for themselves so once people get eliminated the people who are left really have to try to get their votes.

Weekly eliminations are lame. It should be a one-time special and they all get locked up until they decide on someone. Attrition is better than elimination.

I watched the first five minutes... and turned. If it was me I'd camp out and say if everyone voted for me, i'd split the money.
