Who's Still Standing? (Spain)

[Deleted]

In this post i'll talk about the spanish version of "Who's Still Standing?".

In Spain it's called "¡Ahora Caigo!", and it's on air since July 6, 2011, in primetime. The maximum prize was 200.000€. Only two people won the maximum prize. Here is the money tree:

12.000€ | 12.000€
  6.000€ |   6.000€
  3.000€ |   3.000€
  1.000€ |   1.000€
         1€ |          1€

In August 22, 2011, the daily version started. The maximum prize is 100.000€. NINE people won the maximum prize (and counting). Here is the money tree:

5.000€ | 5.000€
2.000€ | 2.000€
1.000€ | 1.000€
   500€ |    500€
       1€ |        1€

In 2012, the primetime version ended because of low ratings. The daily version is still on air.

In this year, a bonus was added to the game. "La gallina dobladora" will double your money if you get it, it can be in any of the 10 trapdoors. Some people got the 1€ with it.

And now it's still on air! If you have some ideas to improve the show, tell them to us! (hope that Antena 3 checks here D:)

For those who are unaware of the concept or format of the show, please see below a Wikepedia Entry

Format
One player (the "Hero") attempts to defeat 10 competitors ("Strangers") in a series of trivia showdowns to win $1 million. The Hero stands at center stage, with the 10 Strangers standing around the perimeter and facing in toward the Hero. Each participant stands on a trapdoor. The Hero challenges each Stranger, one by one, in an order selected by the Hero, in a head-to-head trivia battle. The host asks alternating questions, starting with the Stranger, with a series of partially filled-in blanks showing the words in the correct answer. The participant has 20 seconds to give the correct answer, starting from the moment the question appears. The answer must be given as spelled out in the puzzle (although slight variations in pronunciations are allowed). Multiple guesses are allowed, as long as the correct answer is given before time runs out (even if it is given unintentionally while thinking out loud).

The Hero is given two passes (in some episodes, three passes are given) at the start of the game. Passing a question forces the Stranger to answer it, with a fresh 20-second countdown. Strangers may not pass; they must answer every question put to them.

The challenge ends when a contestant misses a question: the trapdoor under that person's feet opens, dropping the participant through the stage and eliminating him or her from the game with no winnings. If the Hero drops, the victorious Stranger wins $10,000 ($25,000 in the eighth or ninth challenge, $50,000 in the tenth challenge). If the Stranger drops, the Hero wins an amount of money between $1,000 and $20,000, revealed on a screen at the Stranger's position once the challenge is over. The value of each Stranger is based on the difficulty that the Hero is expected to face in defeating him or her.
Occasionally, a head-to-head round is introduced as a "Specialty Round," in which all the questions and answers share a common theme or word.

After five Strangers have dropped, the Hero is offered a chance to leave the game with all money won to that point, or stay in and try to win more. If the Hero decides to stay in, he or she receives one more pass and will have another chance to leave after each subsequent Stranger is dropped. Dropping eight, nine, or all 10 Strangers increases the Hero's winnings to $250,000, $500,000, or $1 million, respectively. Any Hero who chooses to end the game and keep their winnings has the option of leaving by walking out of the studio or dropping through the floor.

After the Hero exits the game, the remaining Strangers, including the one who defeated the Hero if applicable, play a "Speed Round" among themselves. The host asks a question to each one in turn, with 10 seconds on the clock instead of 20. Each correct answer adds $2,000 to a jackpot, while a wrong answer drops the Stranger with no winnings (although if the Hero had been defeated, the Stranger who defeated the Hero still keeps their winnings). The last one left standing wins the entire jackpot. As with a winning Hero, the winner has the option of walking out of the studio or dropping through the trap door. A Speed Round is always played and filmed when at least two Strangers remain; should there not be enough time to air the Speed Round, it may either be posted on the show's website after the episode airs, or aired on a subsequent episode.

Variations
In the US version
Game rules have varied among, and even within, episodes in the first season. One episode began with a game in which the Hero started with two passes, and Strangers whose elimination earned between $1,000 and $20,000, with five Strangers needed to win money; in the second game, the Hero began with three passes, eliminated one contestant for $1 and another for $50,000, and was given the option of quitting after eliminating just three Strangers (with no offer of an additional pass to continue). The value for each correct answer in the Speed Round has varied as well ($1,000 instead of $2,000).

Seems a good format, but you forgot to take out the edit's and citation needed's.

I really enjoyed the US version but I think that it got cut too soon. Maybe a daytime version with $250,000 jackpot could work better
