Foinavon it's a show where the climax revolved around 2 competitors playing a scissors papers stone type game that gives them the opportunity to share the jackpot or steal it from the other. If they both choose share they both get half. If one chooses steal and the other chooses share, the stealer wins.
And I agree with Do Wah. To steal is just wrong in that scenario. |

Sounds like the prisoner's dilemma. Haven't seen it but it sounds interesting.
When is it on? |

The show was cancelled about four years ago, I met the producer around that time who said they still had about 20 shows in the can & once they have been shown the show was being scrapped as it had in his words become morally bankrupt.

What if they both try to steal the jackpot?
|
|
By:
they both get nothing - forgot that bit

There must have been some very upset competitors. Brings out the psycho in people.

FOINAVON THERE WAS ONE LADY WITH A ROSE IN HER HAIR FROM LIVERPOOL WHO PLEADED TO A YOUNG GIRL COMPETITOR TO SHARE AS SHE WAS IN A LOAD OF DEBT AND THE MONEY WOULD PAY OFF HER DEBTS AND THE YOUNG GIRL PROMISED SHE WOULD BUT THE YOUNG GIRL STOLE IT

A few years before Goldenballs started there was another new quiz compared by Robert Kilroy Silk called Shafted, this consisted of an actual quiz leaving two players at the end who then played the same ending as in Goldenballs, the show was cancelled after three shows after the furore of someone stealing all the money & people being outraged, yet Goldenballs lasted 288 episodes

By:
Thinking about it, it's logical to steal.
You can't do anything about what the other person decides to do and if they steal you get nothing regardless so best go for broke. |
|
By:
THE YOUNG GIRL SAID OH I THOUGHT YOU WAS GOING TO STEAL IT ,THATS WHAT ALL THEY ALL SAY AS AN EXCUSE
|
|
By:
provided there are bodyguards of course.

I WOULD SHARE AND THEN WHEN THE OTHER PERSON DOES ME I GET INTO A TANTRUM AND CANT COPE,I USED TO LEND PEOPLE MONEY KNOWING THAT I WOULDNT GET IT BACK OR WOULD HAVE TROUBLE GETTING IT BACK ,BUT I WANTED THEM TO PROOVE ME WRONG AND THINK THAT THEY WOULD THINK I WILL NEVER LET DO WAH DIDDY DOWN AS HE HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME
|
|
By:
You're a nice guy Do wah, I would pay you back with interest.
|
|
By:
I WANTED TO DO THEM A FAVOUR ,BUT I WAS NOT ONLY UPSET THAT I DIDNT GET THE MONEY BACK ,BUT THEY USED ME
|
|
By:
288 episodes is a lot Pumphol. You would think it would degenerate into everyone trying to steal and nobody getting paid.
|
|
By:
On the first ever show the two people left openly discussed sharing the money, one said to the other I'll share & you steal that way your win the money & we will share it after, they both agreed & that was what happened, after that the producers nipped that in the bud & would not allow contestants to go down that route, hence there were very few shares on the programme probably around 10% at a guess.
|
|
By:
It's happened to us all Do wah, you just have to rise above it.
One bloke I know borrowed some money off me to back a horse. It's still running as far as I know. |

THE BEST ADVICE I EVER GOT WAS OFF ALL THE ALCOHOLICS AT A A WHEN I LISTENED ,AND THEY SAID I WAS PART TO BLAME FOR LENDING THEM IT ,THEY ALSO SAID DONT LEND ANYTHING UNLESS YOU THINK YOU CAN COPE WITH THEM NOT GIVEING IT YOU BACK ,THAT HELPED ME ALOT ,THEN WHEN SOMEONE ASKED ME FOR 10 POUND I THOUGHT I WONT GET IT BACK BUT SHOULD I LEND HIM THAT KNOWING THAT AND I SAID YES TO MYSELF ,BUT WHEN HE CAME BACK THE NEXT WEEK FOR TWENTY POUNDS I SAID NO

Good on you Do wah
If someone asks me to lend them £10 I say, no, I'll give to £10 but don't ask again, that's the bargain. |

|
|
By:
That's a lot of money Do Wah.
The most I've ever lent was £2000 to a young couple scraping together a deposit for a house. I said it was for a year, no interest. They gave it back in full on the dot. |

By:
IVE GOT TO GO NOW BECAUSE ILL START WANTING TO KILL PEOPLE AGAIN AND IT IGHT TAKE ME BACK TO ALCOHOL SEE YOU AGAIN

By:
YES IM GLAD FOR YOU AND THE YOUNG COUPLE
|
|
By:
If you go back drinking you won't be able to afford anything anymore. Be sensible and look after your money, don't flush it away.
