Dirty Rotten Cheater

A Spinoff of The Weakest Link with a twist. Each round, one person gets to see all the answers to the question in the round and then everyone has to vote out who is the cheater.

At the start of each show six contestants walk up to their podiums, open their monitor doors, and find out if they are the "Dirty Rotten Cheater". After each contestant's name is read, he or she faces the camera and other contestants and claims to not be the Cheater; hence, the sole Cheater is lying.

The game begins with a survey question, similar to those on Family Feud. In the first four rounds, each player gives one answer; if the answer is on a list of the top ten responses given, the player receives an amount of cash equal to the value of its position on the list. If the answer is not on the list, no money is given. The Cheater can see the top ten list of answers, and may choose to either give a high-dollar answer to build their own total, or a lesser answer in hopes of throwing off suspicion.
