Deykari Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Anyone heard of this? It's a UK gameshow, where there are a load of boxes of money, and the contestent must open three boxes every round, and those boxes are removed from play...they are then offered a sum of money to take, based on what remains in play, and they can take it, or gamble to the final box. In a nutshell. Something like that anyway, I don't watch it. Well my dad's going to be on it (they show it in USA apparently).He's already been on The Weakest Link (twice!) and had Anne Robinson tell him he's The Weakest Link, and he's been on another UK gameshow called 15-to-1.

Boy Kid Wonder Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Yeah, it airs here too. Which makes you wonder, is it really a UK gameshow? Or was it US and UK adopted it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted June 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Dunno. It might be either. I didn't know it aired in the US until like 5 mins ago, hence my trying to describe it as I thought it was a UK thing. Dadkari FTW. Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deykari Posted June 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Bah, US version is different to UK then. We have Noel Edmunds, who might as well be hosting 'Cheesefest 2006' because he's THAT CORNY. "Come on..everyone join hands, and chant blue..." "Blue..blue..blue..blue..blue.." And he always asks people what their 'strategy' is..as if you can have one in a game of luck? Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English lad Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Its filmed 15 mins walk from where I work - the Uk version anyway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designated_Driver Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Its filmed 15 mins walk from where I work - the Uk version anyway.. So it's on the opposite side of the UK from you, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted June 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 I'd come up with a Bali joke here, but unfortunately, I've never participated in this sport before so I'm not quite sure on how to do it. Someone want to give me tips? Working examples would be great. Thanks, Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpnow Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Its not really something we do to him. Its something he does to himself. We just sit back and laugh our *** off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iyorvin Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Yeah, it starts from his name itself. Designated Driver? Lmao, that's the last person any would would ask to drive for them, no matter how drunk they were. Not to mention, Bali is only 14! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zrothum Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 A national morning radio show Lex and Terry do a form of this called Meal or No Meal. They basically get a homeless guy off the street and let him win various food prizes to include, but not limited to... A half eaten bologna sandwich. A skittle. 10 dollar McDonald gift card. The grand prize.....Dinner with Lex and Terry at any restaurant the contestant chooses, a night at a high quality hotel, and some new clothes.

Maventiem Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 I'd come up with a Bali joke here, but unfortunately, I've never participated in this sport before so I'm not quite sure on how to do it. Someone want to give me tips? Working examples would be great. Thanks, Dey It's easy, really. It's all in the setup which he usually takes care of for us. This current post in question where he cuts down the size of UK. Let's twist it shall we? Example: " Judging from Bali's picture I'd say he'd stumble and fall on the grease puddling around his feet before he made the 15 minute walk. " Just that easy.

Deykari Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Wow! So the trick is, to apply 'The Balinor Twist' to any given situation, and then hilarity ensues? Or am I completely forgetting the setup here? I'm currently working on developing my skillset but there's something missing. I'll look at a few Bali posts tonight and have a practice. You have it down to a science, Maventiem! Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
