Rise and fall Sundays 9pm

Not 100% sure what it's about but I'm gonna give it a go and didn't see a thread.

Google tells me it's from the creators of " The Traitors" a BBC hit from late last year and spawned versions around the world.

From what I can tell there's an elevator and meant to be rich and poor people and you can rise or fall in this " society" as I say I'm not too sure but let's see if others are giving it a go or know more.

I won't be watching live though unfortunately

Seems to be on Monday - Friday nights.

I wonder how long it's on for and how it will end.

Will the leaders at the time of the ending have to complete a final leadership task? In that case you need whoever you choose to really want you to win the money. If they didn't like you they wouldn't bother.

It could be that being popular with the grafters could be a key to winning and so staying below until fairly near the end and forming friendships could be a strategy

I hope it becomes popular it might need a bit of tweaking. I think the best thing to do is make as many friends as possible in the basement and stay in the basement for as long as possible because most upstairs will cancel each other out eventually.

I think I saw there's 11 episodes which would make it finish this friday

11 episodes, but how comes the prize fund is £100,00 they haven't even made half that yet.

JellyBeanFactory · 26/03/2023 21:35

There's 18 episodes, not sure if I'll be able to last that long. As said above, the rulers/leaders will just cancel themselves out so to be in with a chance, you need to rise from the basement around episode 15/16.
Unless there's a twist ahead...

threeplusmum · 26/03/2023 21:50

3 weeks seems just about right if it's on every day except for weekends. It seems like a weekend programme tbh.

kc431 · 26/03/2023 22:01

I think the grifters should be voting out the rulers - as they’d actually judge them on their leadership skills. Rulers voting out each other means it’s just a popularity contest and any ruler who’s an actual threat gets voted out. Like Ramona would have lasted longer if the grafters were voting.

Maybe they will tweak it for next time good idea about the grafters voting the rulers out.

I thought he’d chose Rachel

This work shift is grim

Hot showers £3k for 5mins seems ridiculously expensive.

Can't help think the last few days the prize money will skyrocket

Stupid Cheryl. Why didn’t she go with Marina. That was the obvious choice. Then she’d have been out.

mscynical · 27/03/2023 23:30

Can't be real human waste as they are not wearing gloves. H&S would not allow it!

Spkat · 28/03/2023 00:36

Finally, a twist!

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 28/03/2023 07:44

Yes finally a twist. I thought it was going to follow the usual course. Marina should go IMO - I find her insufferable (but still strangely intriguing to watch) but I don't know that Connor has the courage to do it. He should though. Good one James.

nuttynet · 28/03/2023 11:32

What's with all the hanging out boobies?

kenyaswhiterefrigerator · 28/03/2023 12:57

I think Connor may choose Marina. He knows the grafters alliance against the OG's is over after James nominated her. There's no need to keep her going forward

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 28/03/2023 13:29

Even though I find Marina infuriating and think she should go - I find her fascinating to watch. How somebody hasn't taken her to task yet is beyond me

Togoodtobeforgotten · 28/03/2023 15:19

I think James was really snidy there because if it weren't for Marina he wouldn't be up there, she stuck to her word.

VooVooV · 28/03/2023 22:08

Death stare there!!

Togoodtobeforgotten · 28/03/2023 22:19

How can James or Connor think any of the grafters will trust them now?

rach971 · 28/03/2023 22:22

Can't stand Jack & Sydney. I just want them out 🤣

SlippinKimmy · 28/03/2023 23:35

Glad they didn't get up there as a couple, that would have been unbearable. Be interesting to see how Jeff does now he's finally up there...

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 28/03/2023 23:44

I do think Jeff probably has a lot to offer on paper but it's his delivery and his attitude that turn people off.
I thought his 'Oscars' comment after his conversation was quite sinister!

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 28/03/2023 23:45

*with Cheryl

rach971 · 29/03/2023 07:44

Yeah, I'm not keen on the way Jeff acts, but I also wouldn't have been able to stand Jack and Sydney up there as a couple.

I do feel sorry for her though. I think she's more into the 'showmance' than he is. I don't think he could care less about her and she seems to genuinely think he likes her. Just bizarre how you'd enter a TV show to make your child/family proud and hop into bed with some guy on day dot. Not sure that's what makes a family proud but maybe I'm wrong 🤣
