Game Show Encyclopedia: Shafted

 

 

 

Shafted was a British quiz show on ITV1, presented by Robert Kilroy-Silk. It was a quiz show that had a slight resemblance to The Weakest Link, as it was based on answering questions and eliminating fellow contestants.

The quiz begins with six players. In the first round, they each must declare how much money (up to £25,000) they would like. This is important as you need a large amount of money to bet on the questions during the show. The person who asked for the biggest amount of money is removed from the show before they answer a single question.

Then, the remaining five contestants answer incomplete questions that they must bet on. After all players have placed their bets, the question is completed and whoever staked the most money can answer it. If their answer is correct, then they get the money they bet added onto their score and if they answer incorrectly, then the money is taken away. After a certain amount of questions, the person with the most money decides who they want to remove from the game. Then after the contestant is voted out, all the contestants are given the same amount of money as the leader and the process continues until there are two contestants left.

The final round takes the form of a type of Prisoner's Dilemma. The two remaining players stand opposite each other behind podia. They are playing for the amount of money the leading player ended the main game with. Then each of the players is asked if they wish to "share" or to "shaft". This is how it works: Say they were paying for £150,000. If both players decided to shaft, then neither player won anything. If one decided to share and the other decided to shaft, then the person who shafted won all the money, but if they both decided to share, they split the money, and would each get £75,000 in this case.

Kilroy-Silk's actions on the show were frequently mocked on Have I Got News For You in late 2004, particularly his delivery of the show's tag-line, "Their fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft," and the associated hand actions.

The show was dropped soon after it started in 2001, after only four episodes.

An Australian version of the show hosted by Red Symons ran from February to April of 2002.
