The Cheap Show

The Cheap Show was a game show where celebrity guests would be asked a question. One would give the correct answer, and one would answer incorrectly. The contestant then had to guess which celebrity was giving the correct answer.

One player (flip of coin decision) chooses the guest he feels has the correct response.If the celebrity gives the correct response, the player wins a cheap prize (valued under $16) and his opponent's teammate is punished (doused with water or hit with harmless foods). If the player chooses the wrong celebrity, his teammate is punished. After three rounds, the highest-scoring team is asked to predict what numbered hole Oscar the Wonder Rodent (a white rat) will enter when placed on a board of numbered holes.
