Pass The Buck (Australian Game Show)
''Pass the Buck'' was an Australian game show hosted by John Burgess based on the American game show of the same name, airing on the Nine Network from 11 February 2002. Burgess began hosting the show after five years of hosting ''Burgo's Catch Phrase''. Before ''Pass the Buck'' went to air, Nine's Director of Programming at the time, John Stephens, was confident of Burgess as host, stating that he would "make the transition rom ''Burgo's Catch Phrase''to the new format without missing a beat". The show, which was introduced with others on Nine, such as ''Fear Factor'' and '' Shafted'', was short-lived. Nine announced in April 2002 that they would not be producing a second season. Gameplay Ten contestants, one a returning champion, competed to give a list of items that fit into a specific question announced at the beginning of each round. Before the start of the game, the contestant who was responsible for answering first was determined at random. Each contestant had three sec ...

Game Show
A game show is a genre of broadcast viewing entertainment (radio, television, internet, stage or other) where contestants compete for a reward. These programs can either be participatory or demonstrative and are typically directed by a host, sharing the rules of the program as well as commentating and narrating where necessary. The history of game shows dates back to the invention of television as a medium.

Game shows often reward players with prizes such as cash, trips and goods and services provided by the show's sponsor.

2000s Australian Game Shows
S, or s, is the nineteenth letter in the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is ''ess'' (pronounced ), plural ''esses''. History Origin Northwest Semitic šîn represented a voiceless postalveolar fricative (as in 'ip'). It originated most likely as a pictogram of a tooth () and represented the phoneme via the acrophonic principle. Ancient Greek did not have a phoneme, so the derived Greek letter sigma () came to represent the voiceless alveolar sibilant . While the letter shape Σ continues Phoenician ''šîn'', its name ''sigma'' is taken from the letter ''samekh'', while the shape and position of ''samekh'' but name of ''šîn'' is continued in the '' xi''. Within Greek, the name of ''sigma'' was influenced by its association with the Greek word (earlier ) "to hiss". The original name of the letter "sigma" may have been ''san'', but due to the complica ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In the first round, each player must secretly declare how much money they would like to receive, to a maximum of £25,000. Once the amounts are revealed, the person who has asked for the largest amount is immediately eliminated from the game and receives nothing. Each of the other five is credited with the amount they requested.

Once the host has asked as many questions as there are players still in the game, the leader chooses one opponent to eliminate with ...
