Game Show's 'Easy' Final Question Sparks Viewer Outrage
9 Dec
Summary
- New spin-off 'The 1% Club Rollover' features prize money rolling over.
- A game show's final 1% question was deemed 'too easy' by viewers.
- Contestant Chris chose to pocket £10,000 rather than attempt the final question.
The ITV game show "The 1% Club" has introduced a new "Rollover" spin-off, but its debut episode left many viewers questioning the difficulty of its questions. The show, hosted by Lee Mack, tasks 100 contestants with navigating increasingly challenging logic puzzles, with the final question representing a 1% chance of answering correctly.
The "Rollover" twist means unclaimed prize money accumulates, potentially reaching up to £500,000. Additionally, players who reach the 1% question automatically advance to the next episode. Despite these high stakes, viewers on social media decried the final question as "too easy," claiming they solved it instantly while playing along at home.
During the episode, only one contestant, Chris, reached the final question. He chose to secure his £10,000 winnings instead of attempting the 1% puzzle, opting to return for a future episode. The revealed question involved identifying a repeated and missing number on a 5x5 grid, which fans widely considered surprisingly straightforward for a game based on a 1% chance of success.
