1 vs.

100 is a primetime game show where it's one person who answers questions in order to
survive "The Mob" of 100. based on the Dutch format called Een tegen 100 ("1 tegen 100").

Gameplay

Edit

The game always started by the host saying, "It's 1 vs. 100!"; as the game progressed, the host
would say, "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, the host will say, "It's 1 vs. 79!").
A multiple-choice question with three possible answers is revealed. The Mob is given 15 seconds, to
lock in their answer before "The One" is given the opportunity to answer the question. He/she
signified his/her answer by pressing one of three buttons that correspond to those answers. If the
One is correct, all Mob members that answered the question incorrectly are eliminated from further
play, bringing the "The One" closer to winning the game. The amount of money in the contestant's
bank also increases by an amount based on the number of mob members eliminated in that
question. If the contestant eliminates all 100 mob members, he/she wins the grand cash prize.
However, if "The One" is incorrect, the game ends and he/she leaves with nothing, and the remaining
members of the Mob split the losing contestant's winnings. But if everybody misses, nobody wins, no
money is awarded, and 100 new people came in to play.
To prevent the (next to) latter from happening, once a player reaches a set prize limit, they are asked
whether they want the Money (leave the game with the accumulated money) or the Mob (continue
playing at risk of losing the money). After every subsequent question, a player may either quit or
continue, only if he/she answers correctly.
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.
As for the Mob, it's members will stay on the show as long as they can answer correctly. So they can
stay on for multiple games, giving them multiple chances to win the money.
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 final shows this was
not 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.[1] 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
isnt 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. [2]

NBC Version

Edit

The game always opens with Saget saying "This game is simple. Either you win . . . or they win."
After asking the contestant if he/she is ready and asking the mob if they are ready, Saget begins the
game by saying, "It's time to play 1 vs. 100!" In later episodes, it was removed and after the
introduction of the mobs, Saget would say "It's 1 vs. 100 [(name of special mobs)]!" (the brackets
represents mobs on special editions). Contestants played for a top prize of $1,000,000.

Programming history

Edit

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.

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:

Questio

10

11

12+

Episodes $10 $50 $1,00 $2,00 $3,00 $4,00 $5,00 $6,00 $7,00 $8,00 $9,00 $10,00
1-2

Episodes $10 $25


3-5

$500

$1,00 $1,50 $2,00 $3,00 $4,00 $5,00 $6,00 $7,50 $10,00


0

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. A new ladder for winning money was also
added, which was as follows:
Question

Value

1, 2, 3

$1,000

4, 5

$2,000

$3,000

$4,000

$5,000

$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.

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.

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). [3] The
highest number of mob members defeated was 95 by poker player Annie Duke (February 9, 2007,
the "Last Man Standing" episode). The total number of solo contestants currently stands at 33 (17
winners, 16 losers).

Season Two

Edit

Starting on January 4, 2008, the prize structure was determined by the number of mob members that
are eliminated. Therefore, every 10 mob members eliminated increases the amount for the solo
player. Once the player has either used up all three helps or eliminated at least 50 mob members,
he/she is allowed a "Sneak Peek" before each question for the rest of the game. Only the question is
revealed, not the answer choices, and the player would then have to decide whether to continue play
or leave the game with all money won to that point. Here's the way the money ladder went:
Mob members

100

$1,000,000

On the second season premiere show, two games were played. One put 100 men against a woman,
the other was the reverse. On that show, Jason Luda, a 21-year old from San Diego, faced the 100woman mob and had eliminated all but 15 members by the time the following question came up:
According to Hallmark, what is the biggest card-giving holiday of the year?
A: Christmas
B: Mother's Day
C: Valentine's Day
All 15 women missed, but Jason Luda had answered the question correctly and won $1,000,000.

Theme episodes

Edit

Christmas episode

Edit

A special Christmas episode aired on December 25, 2006 which featured Christmas related
questions and a Mob with members representing "The 12 Days of Christmas", including:

Twelve members of the University of Southern California Marching Band drumline (drummers
drumming)

Eleven plumbers (pipers piping)

Ten male ballet dancers (lords a-leaping)

Nine female go-go dancers (ladies dancing)

Eight farmer's wives (maids a-milking)

Seven members of the Cal State Northridge water polo team (swans a-swimming)

Six pregnant mothers-to-be (geese a-laying)

Five boxers (golden rings)

Four bird callers (calling birds)

Three French chefs (French hens)

Two dove hunters (turtle doves)

Danny Bonaduce (a Partridge in a pear tree)

Santa Claus took a chair, and the remaining 20 contestants consisted of five "Santa's elves" and
returning contestants, including Annie Duke, who missed on a question early in this episode and was
eliminated after four shows, having correctly answered 37 consecutive questions.
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. The next time that a game show was joined in progress on the network would be on August
31, 2010, when Minute to Win It was joined in progress in the Eastern and Central time zones
following a Presidential address.

1 vs. 100 kids

Edit

The first game on the February 2, 2007 episode consisted of one hundred children. Five members
left standing received $18,800 each.

Last Man Standing

Edit

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).
Duke and Jennings were two of the final five aiming for the prize. The question was "Who has been
married the most times? - King Henry VIII, Larry King, or 'The King of Pop', Michael Jackson." Duke,
Jennings, and two of the other remaining contestants incorrectly guessed King Henry VIII. Ultimately,
the winner was entertainment lawyer and former actor Larry Zerner, as he was the only one who
answered Larry King.

The Most Hated Mob in America

Edit

The February 16, 2007 episode featured a mob made up of the nation's supposedly most hated
people, including 23 meter maids, 22 IRS agents, 20 telemarketers and 16 DMV employees. Casey
Smith left 29 people in the mob, opting to take his $142,000 winnings.

Battle of the Sexes

Edit

On January 4, 2008, the first night of the current prize structure, one woman played against a mob of
100 men and vice versa. The woman, Katherine Kazorla lost $50,000 to the mob, while the man,
Jason Luda, became the show's first and only millionaire.

GSN Repeats and Revival

Edit

GSN began airing reruns of the show on June 6, 2009, with one or more episodes shown every day.
With the popularity of those shows and the Xbox live video game, in August 2010 GSN announced a
casting call and that the network would be producing new episodes.[4][5]
The initial order of 40 half-hour episodes began airing weekdays on November 15, 2010. In the new
version, hosted by Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba, the mob is pre-taped and
members participate via webcam. The mob is digitally inserted into the program, and mob members
may appear on multiple episodes. Contestants will win the top prize of $50,000 by eliminating all 100
mob members during their appearance and have two helps available: Poll the Mob and Trust the
Mob.
