Without Prejudice? is a game show created and produced by 12 Yard that aired in the UK on Channel 4 from 4 January 2003 to 16 April 2004 and ran for 2 series. It was hosted by Liza Tarbuck.[1] A short-lived US version aired from 17 July 2007 to 16 September 2007 on GSN and was hosted by psychotherapist Dr. Robi Ludwig. After the show ended in September 2007, Dr. Robi Ludwig went to appear on Hannity & Colmes. The US version gained notoriety when on one episode, a contestant claimed he would eliminate another contestant solely because "he's black".[2][3]
Format
The object involves five random people deciding which one of five strangers is worthy of winning money. (UK version: £50,000 in series one, £20,000 in series two; US version: $25,000)
The decisions are based on the impressions and opinions of each contestant as made by the panelists.
The order goes as follows:
- A 15-second introduction of the contestants is shown to the panel. They then must decide who gets eliminated solely based on who gives off the worst impression.
- A short biography of the contestants is shown, followed by the occupation and annual salary of the contestants. The panel then eliminates a second contestant.
- The three remaining contestants are asked about three "hot button" issues, such as prostitution, same-sex marriage and adoption, or gun control. Then, a hidden camera video is shown with the three contestants interacting with actors whom they believe to be contestants. The third contestant is then eliminated.
- The final two contestants are interviewed by the panel. Any panelist can ask any question, as long as s/he doesn't ask what the winner would do with the money. The panel then votes for a winner.
