Trivia trap game show

Can they go for a third? This Junior player looks nervous. Can she cut "Steveland"? This Junior team successfully picked out two wrong answers from the four choices.

Which packet of questions would you like? Red or Black? One Senior said "Water of Life". Is "Water of Life" the correct answer? Is that it? One Junior chose a wrong answer while the other two Juniors said "in his tooth". Is it "in his tooth"? All three Juniors say the correct answer is "Business Clothes". The values of each question go up after the 10th or 15th question, so as to save time and questions.

Is that an "Elephant Man" category? The contestants placed in order from their success in the Trivia Race. From this celebrity episode, Vicki Lawrence had the most success, while Jayne Meadows had the least. Betty White is in the middle. The all-important final question.

A question about cents can result in thousands of dollars for charity, in this particular episode. Here are two winning Juniors deciding in secret which answer is correct. Does he win it with the correct answer "Casablanca"? Are these contestants going to "go for it" and try to pick out the correct answer, or "play it safe" and eliminate wrong answers?

The Seniors have decided to "play it safe" by eliminating the answer "Dallas". Can they do it? Yes, they can. Note the black donut instead of a target. The Seniors elected to "play it safe" again. Can they cut this time "The Tonight Show"?

Upon choosing a row, the unchosen row disappeared. The Juniors have decided to "play it safe" by eliminating the answer "Mark Goodson". The Juniors have eliminated two wrong answers; now they must "go for it" and choose the correct one. They say the correct answer is Groucho Marx? Yes, they have. The board doesn't show it; just a simple neon flash indicates the right answer was chosen.

The Juniors wish to "go for it" right away on "Ocean" Bob presenting the remaining topics for the home audience to ponder. Where was the resturant that 17, McDonald's hamburgers were consumed in one day? Bob explaining the rules of the Trivia Race which is basically played the same way as the series. It's lighting up.

Kind of reminds one of a roll of Lifesavers, doesn't it? Level 1 - Whose motto is "Faster, Higher, Stronger"? In the first round called "Fact or Fiction? Two sets of envelopes were played, with the challengers choosing from the second pair. The second round "Trivia Trap Round" starts with the team in the lead or champs in case of a tie seeing four answers and being asked a question.

One member of the team answers and then the other two need to decide if they agree or disagree with the given answer. If they both disagreed and the answer was WRONG, they keep playing with a different player giving the answer and the process repeating.

Again, two questions we asked of each team. The team in the lead or the champs in case of a tie chooses a category and a question is asked. If they get it right, they win money and stay in control. If they are wrong, the other team gets control. Every category picked is replaced with a new one.

The most successful player is shown four possible answers and chooses whether to play or pass it down to the next most-successful player who, in turn, can either play or pass it to the least-successful player who MUST play it. If they get it wrong, they're eliminated from the round.

The second set of answers is asked and the more-successful player remaining can either play or pass. The third question MUST be answered by the last player left. Those who answered questions correctly advance to the top of the ladder and play one more question.

After hearing the question, they secretly lock in their answer. If only one player is left, they simply give their answer out loud. Teams could stay for up to five trips to the bonus round before retiring. On the next show in that case, a "champ-elect" is chosen between the teams. As before, the other player could disagree to try to save the team. After the question, the other team played the other category. Again, each team played two questions.

This second format retained the original Trivia Race format in round two, played after the Trivia Trap round. Three categories were shown, and the team in control of the board chose which category they wanted. After a category was used once, a new one replaced it. Bob would read the question, and one at a time, the players would answer. If one of them answered correctly, the team kept control and chose another category.

If none of the players answered correctly, the other team would get control. This time, the players on the winning team played for themselves. The three players played in order by their success in the Trivia Race. A row of monitors rose to the first level of the Trivia Ladder. Four answers were shown to the best player. That player could then play that question or pass it to the next player, who, in turn, could either play that question or pass it to the last player.

If the player answered incorrectly, that player was eliminated, but did return to play the next day. After the first question was asked, the row of monitors rose to the next level of the ladder, and four new answers were shown to the better-ranked player of those remaining. As before, that player could either answer or pass to the last player.

For the third question, the remaining player had to answer. Four answers were shown as before, and a question was asked. The players locked in the answer they believed was correct on a hidden panel in their podium.

This is the first of two Mark Goodson shows hosted by Bob Eubanks, his second show was the version of Card Sharks.
