What’s the Story?

THE RICH LIST is a trivia-based game show that matches up total strangers to form unlikely contestant pairs whose combined fact reserves might just be the key to a treasure. Once the two teams are matched up, host Eamonn Holmes reveals the list each team needs to complete (like animated Disney movies or the 50 most popular U.S. newspapers), and the teams alternate bidding on how many answers they can fill in. The first team to win two lists in a round moves on to a money round, in increments of up to $250,000. They can stop at any point, keeping the money they've earne, but if they answer incorrectly at any point, they return to their pod with no earnings from that round. There's no cap on the contestants' winnings, so a team can stick around as long as their knowledge holds out and they keep eliminating the competition.

Is It Any Good?

If you're looking for family-friendly entertainment that's heavy on fun, The Rich List fits the bill. Although younger viewers won't have enough background on most of the list topics to guess many answers, tweens and teens will enjoy the series as much as their parents do, and the whole family can get in on the action by tossing around their own random knowledge.
