The Big Dish
Synopsis
100 kids start aboard a big satellite dish (for whatever reason) and compete in a number of knock-out rounds of quizzes and games in order to find that special one in a hundred.
The opening round was "stand on a white or black circle and hope the white/black randomizer doesn't kill you".
There are 50 contestants left after the randomizer, then we lose 25 more contestants in a quiz where they are split into two groups (red and blue). The odd '1' is lost via a spiked ball. Then we go from 24 to 12 to 6 via two more games - such as a blindfolded contestant swinging a giant ball at the other contestants. From six down to three they had to build a pillar to advance to the final quiz where one contestant has to get 5 points to win the whole thing.
