Cash trapped the tv quiz, i do not believe they

[Samcro]

Have really been there for 10 days.
Surely any one staying that long for a quizz show is mad.

I'd have thought they'd film several episodes at once. I think they do for most quizzes.

I thought that, but one person even left because she was missing her kids.

I hate the chatty bit at the end

I want The Chase back!!

Don't watch it bothering did the contestants stay in Deal or no.Deal.so!e seemed to be on for weeks .

Everyone cried when she was left and I was baffled! I have no idea what is happening on this show

But how long*

Weird isn't it JoGose ?! I've watched most days and still can't work it out!

I don't get it, did she win any money when she left? Surely going on this type of show you know you are going to be away for X amount of days. I only caught a bit but how does anyone win money? Does anyone win money?

It’s so complicated. Bring back the chase!

I miss The Chase too.

I don’t get it.

I’ve tried to watch it.

I want the chase back.

i really like it. but just don't get why they stay for days.

Weekday game shows are normally filmed a week at a time, so five shows in one day, but they try to keep up the appearance of it being almost live - changing their clothes and saying things like "it's Friday at last!" when filming the last show of the day on a Monday!

It's probably all to build up tension and they're told to ham it up. Then again, if the contestant was from Inverness, say, with filming in London, and was there for the five shows being filmed on Friday and told they'd need to come back again for the next 'week' (i.e. the five shows filmed on the Monday) - and given accommodation for the weekend in between because of the distance from their home, then I could quite believe that they'd miss their kids.

I like Bradley, but I really can't get Cash Trapped. Just seems too much of a faff to me. Same with the new one - The Switch - on a little bit earlier. Bring back The Chase - everybody knows and likes the formula for that!

I watched this recently, I’d never heard of it before. I swear I’m not dumb but I just don’t get it at all. The format is too complicated. The Chase is so much better!

Unless they've really changed the format of game shows and the perceived jeopardy is now real.

I have it on good authority that the Vortex in Tenable isn't just a passageway back to the green room, but an actual portal to a far off land of exile. If you don't get at least five tenable answers, they force you to pass between worlds forever and send grief officers around to notify your net of kin

Agreed - the rules make less sense to me than those on Numberwang

i actually get it and Im not that clever. just seems odd that they pretend to be there for so long.
it did take me ages to get pointless

I don't find it any more complicated than The Chase to be honest. I am dubious about if it is filmed in multiples per day or one per day like they are claiming though. Part of me thinks it's got to be multiples per day, surely! It would cost a fortune to have them stay for days on end but Nariece's wig is causing me doubts. I'm sure wigs like she is wearing (good quality, took me ages to figure out they were actually wigs!) are not that quick or easy to put on and then style. With the amount she changes them maybe it is day by day. Or maybe they film several episodes a day but with the different teams. So team 1 in the morning, team 2 in the afternoon.
I've thought about this too much. I need a lie down.

DP works in tv and has worked on this show. They film 3 shows per day. So they haven’t been there for 10 days. It just looks that way!

I’ve never watched it so no idea if the setup!

I like the show, although it did take a few days to work it out. I can't watch the chatty bit at the end - too contrived and very false sounding. I switch over to watch another endless re-run of Heartbeat!!

Ah, thanks for the info.

Maybe they keep the contestant boxes naturally dank and overbearingly grim, but right at the beginning of the run, they fill them with that same chemical they put in bags of lettuce - so everything all appears lovely and fresh on the first day but then goes rapidly (and visibly) downhill

I actually tried looking this up last night, so thanks for answering this! I didn’t realise this is series 4. I quite like it.

It explains why some of them look tired and their concentration down. Love the show.

I think pretty much all game shows are filmed this way, including the chase. I’ve never watched that either. Also they only have an audience for celebrity chase episodes, audience sound is added to the others.

Honestly, he ruins tv for me a lot of the time 🙄
