Golden Balls
Synopsis
What stud poker would be a bit like if there was a giant lottery machine involved, and the prisoner's dilemma.
Four players are dealt out balls worth varying amounts of money (from a tenner to £200,000) and some "killer balls". Two of each player's balls are on show, the rest are known only to each player. The aim is to eliminate the players with the Killer Balls whilst keeping the big money in play, with a The Weakest Link style vote. The final two players aim to build as big a pot as possible, and then inevitably go home with nothing because they're both very selfish.
We didn't think much of the pilot, in honesty. The giant Ball Machine is nice though.
