GAME ON
Prize: £100,000 for The Winner to share with their chosen Prize Partner, £50,000 each.
Show opens with The Presenter introducing 6 contestants, each one has a screen above their
head.
The Presenter introduces the game.
“In the last week the 6 contestants you are about to meet have each won the hearts and minds of 6
Partners of their choice to get them here tonight to play PartnerUp2Win, We have 4 judges who will
deliver their verdict on each Contestant and each Contestant's chosen Partners. You, our studio
audience will get to vote, as will the audience at home for your favourite Contestant and the
Partner you think is most compatible. The Contestants are trying to win a top prize of $100,000.
They will then share the prize with one of their Partners. High stakes. Love and or money. Who is
in it for the prize, the Partner or both? Let’s find out, let’s meet the Contestants.”
The audience is then shown pre-filmed clips of each contestant online getting partners by
messaging, Skype-ing etc. Cheesy chat-up lines, phone calls, the banter, the fun, the romance, the
waiting etc. The audience gets to know each contestant really well from seeing them performing to
entice partners. The Presenter asks each contestant’s 6 partners to stand up and take a bow to show
they are in the audience.
Find The Winner
The judges ask questions and then vote for and announce their Winner.
The audience are then asked to vote for their Winner.
The audience at home are told the voting lines are open to vote for The Winner.
End of Part 1
Ad break to count the votes from the studio audience and the audience watching at home.
Part 2
All the votes have been counted. The Winner is announced. The losing contestants each get a
consolation prize to share with one of their 6 partners, pre-chosen before the show. The losing
contestants exit the stage, leaving just The Winner. The Winner’s 6 partners are brought up on
stage. The Presenter asks The Winner how they feel and do they have any idea which of their 6
partners they will choose as their Prize Partner to share £100,000 with. The Winner replies that
they do have a very good idea which partner they would like as their Prize Partner. But, to add to
the excitement, The Presenter announces that there is a 7th partner that must be found… The Wild
Card Partner.
Find the Wild Card Partner
With The Winner’s 6 previously appointed partners now up on stage, The Winner is now invited to
pick a Wild Card Partner from the studio audience. As we saw at the top of the show, the
contestants got a good look at the audience as they were coming in and now The Winner would have a
good idea who they would want to pick as a Wild Card Partner. The cameras scan the audience and The
Winner picks partner number 7, who arrives up on stage. The Winner might even pick one of the other
contestants’ partners!
Or, if the budget would allow, The Winner is taken by limousine to
Trafalgar Square and invited to pick a Wild Card Partner from the crowd previously assembled there.
Giant screens in the square have been showing the action in the studio. The crowd knows that one
lucky participant will be picked to join The Winner and travel back to the studio to take part in
the game and possibly share the jackpot prize of £100,000. The Winner arrives and is brought to the
stage erected in the square. Cameras sweep the crowd to help The Winner choose. The Winner chooses
their Wild Card Partner. Everyone goes back to the studio. The Wild Card Partner joins the other
six partners to compete to be The Prize Partner and get a share of £100,000.
With all the partners assembled it is now time for The Presenter to
interview each of the partners based on the interaction with The Winner seen in the pre-filmed
video clips. The Winner also asks questions.
Decision time… who will The Winner choose as their Prize Partner? Who will
share the £100,000?
The judges vote for and announce the partner they think The Winner should
choose.
The audience are asked to vote for the partner they think The Winner should choose.
The audience at home are told the voting lines are open to vote for the partner they think The
Winner should choose.
End of Part 2
Ad break to count the votes from the studio audience and the audience watching at home.
Part 3
The votes have been counted but the final decision is of course down to The Winner.
We know which partner the judges voted for.
We will now be told which partner the studio audience voted for.
Then we are told which partner the audience at home voted for.
Who will The Winner choose?
Suspense.
The Winner chooses their Prize Partner, the one who will share the top prize of £100,000.
Which judge(s) got it right and picked the right partner for The Winner?
Did the studio audience get it right and by majority pick the right partner for The Winner?
Did the audience at home get it right and by majority pick the right partner for The Winner?
