Beat the Blondes was an unsold game show based on preconceptions, prejudice, strategy, and statistics that "blondes are dumb". The grand prize was $1,000,000.
Premise[]
The contestant (strictly male) will demonstrate his ability to fly through a series of questions the fifty blonde women ready to flip the stereotype according to which intelligence cannot get along with beauty. Man is the center of the study and women before him: seven rows of seven women on a scale placed at the top of which is the fiftieth. The game, with prize money of $1,000,000, is divided into two heats.
Round 1[]
In the first round, the competitor challenges a row at a time choosing between the various applications available categories, If answered correctly, the prize increases with the number of women who respond incorrectly. The fiftieth blonde is addressed in a face-to-face: if she gives a wrong answer, the prize is double the money so far accumulated, even if the participant responded correctly. The women who gave incorrect answers are eliminated in the first round; correct respondents continue to play in the second.
In the second round, the party will be able to move only if no more than 25 blondes remain.
Round 2[]
In the finale, the women are placed in a semicircle in front of the contestant and presenter. At this point the applicant must answer the questions proposed, directly or with multiple choice answers. If the contestant answers correctly, he points his finger at a woman believed to have responded incorrectly. If she did answer incorrectly, she is out of the game and the contestant continues to point the finger until it finds one that answered correctly, and then move to the next question. Ten questions about the competitor may make only three mistakes.
Final Round[]
When there are only three women left, the player can decide to stop and take home the prize earned or proceed in an attempt to eliminate them all, thus winning $1,000,000. However, if the contestant decides to continue and cannot eliminate the blondes, the last three will share a predetermined fixed amount of $10,000.
