NBC is backing another reality series for their line-up: The network announced it has picked up Still Standing, a trivia game allowing contestants to out-guess 10 challengers in 10 different rounds. The series is based on an Israeli show, also called Still Standing. “This game show has proven its popularity overseas with its breakneck pace, physical humor and intense face-offs,” NBC’s Executive Vice President of Alternative Programming Paul Telegdy said in a release. “U.S. audiences will surely enjoy its swift and wit-filled antics.”
Here’s how the game works: Two contestants stand behind a two different coins whose value — which can amount to anything between $1 and $50,000 — is hidden. The players then answer questions until one loses… and is dropped down a trapdoor in the studio floor. But will you drop in on the show when it hits the small screen?
Absolutely…but they’ll probably have actors instead of contestants just like all the other game shows of late and people will wonder how American game show contestants got so stupid. (R.I.P., Password.)
awwww makes me think fondly of the comedy show that had the same name.
NOPE real game show REAL contestants
game shows suck.
“two contestants stand behind a two different coins” WHERE IS YOUR EDITOR?!?!
Wasn’t this already a game show – Russian Roulette, I think?
It sounds a lot like Russian Roulette with a “Friend or Foe-like” twist. I love both shows, so I will probably tune in.
Kinda strange that they would go with that name for the show since there was a sitcom with the same name on CBS a few years back.
In any case, no thanks NBC. I would rather have a new comedy instead of another reality or game show.
Wow – sounds really lame!
You must be kidding….people falling down is COMEDY GOLD!
Gee, way to go NBC. Another reality show for the lemmings. Phew…for a minute there I thought you might offer something worth watching.
Boring! Yawn….
