The Exit List - Episode 2

The Exit List - Episode 2 

Last weeks opening episode of ITV's new prime time, big budget gameshow The Exit List left me somewhat in two minds. The first episode was badly explained, rules were thrown at viewers left right and centre and the team did a great job of confusing audiences.

However, much improvement with the second episode. Now the format has sunk in, as I am sure it has with most viewers, this second episode seemed more relaxed, the rules were explained more clearly and everything went smoothly. In fact I dare say I really enjoyed The Exit List!

The first 20-30 minutes is just really for the contestants to build money before the serious questions start. Everything asked on the night was fairly easy but the first 4-5 questions are gimmies. The Panic Rooms tend to be a bit harder, I found the fashion one very hard indeed but we are not talking needlessly hard. Again its good good play along at home value and is in a good slot on Tuesday night. The Exit List may prove to be a hit after all!

Last night saw Nicola, a welsh woman, talk a lot....and I mean a lot but rather than being annoying she was quite entertaining. She played a blinder towards the end. What happens is basically only one of the two can play the final round which is naming the Exit List. However, the one who does not get chosen to name it gets an offer, without the namer knowing, of a lower sum. So last night for example the male, I forget the name, was naming the list, if he won £25,000 was his. However, when Nicola went away she was offered £4,000 to take home there and then. Nobody see's what she picks. The male named the list, got out and to his mind had won £25,000. However when reunited Mall Allwright, who is a decent host of The Exit List, tells the male of the twist. I was convinced by her face that Nicola had taken the £4,000 meaning the £25,000 was irrelevant.....but she hadnt, she had fooled us all! £25,000 was theirs.

All in all a fun addition to the schedules and The Exit List will now be something I watch every week...or at least try to.
