1 vs. 100 was an Australian game show based on the American version of the same name and the original Dutch version created by Endemol. The game pits one person against 100 others for a chance to win one million dollars (Australian currency). The program was hosted by former Nine Network CEO and personality Eddie McGuire.[1]
The Australian version of the show premiered on 29 January 2007 at 8:30 pm on the Nine Network and was recorded in Docklands Studios Melbourne.
The format of the Australian show is based on series 2 of the US show (those US shows that aired after 1 December 2006). The prize ladder is half the value of the US ladder (in Australian dollars), with a single million-dollar jackpot for eliminating all 100 players.
A second season of the show had started airing on Friday, 6 June 2008 to 13 June 2008 (except for NSW and QLD), but it was put on hiatus and then cancelled (and its website removed).
