Pass the Buck

📺 Series 1 seasons AU
2002

The Australian version of the British game show. The game begins with ten contestants, with the computer choosing one at random to give the first answer to a question that has more than one correct answer (eg: 'Give me a former Australian Prime Minister'). If that contestant can gave a correct answer, then they 'pass the buck', and the next contestant then has to give another correct answer. When a contestant answers incorrectly, fails to answer within three seconds or repeats a previous answer, the buck stops with them and they are eliminated, with the next contestant in the line having to give the first answer to the next question. To mix things up, two of the questions are Memory Moments, which require the contestants to recall words from a list of eighteen random words given to them. The first Memory Moment comes when there are seven contestants remaining, and the second comes when there are three contestants remaining. When there are four or fewer contestants remaining, a correct answer allows that contestant to choose who to pass the buck to, and the last contestant to pass the back has to give the first answer to the next question. The final two contestants go head to head by being asked a number of questions for which they alternate in giving answers, with each contestant scoring one point for every correct answer. When a contestant gives the last possible correct answer, known as a 'lockout', or the buck stops with them, the next question goes to their opponent. The contestant with the higher score at the end of 60 seconds wins, and is then shown ten prizes and given 30 seconds to remember as many as they can, winning whatever prizes they can remember. Any contestant who can remain the champion for five consecutive nights will win a Hyundai Elantra car.
