International Showdown: Whose Version of "Minute To Win It" Is Better: The U.S. Version or The U.K. Version?

September 7, 2011 marked perhaps the series finale of NBC’s Minute To Win It as there is no news to when the series is going to be renewed or not. Minute To Win It is a “Beat-The-Clock” style game show where contestants have to complete ten 60-second challenges for a $1 million grand prize. So far, Minute To Win It has lasted for three seasons on NBC and has yet to give away their million-dollar cash prize. Meanwhile across the globe, the U.K. debuted their own version of Minute To Win It about one week after NBC aired the third season finale of their show. This inspired me to dedicate this week’s article to this question: Which country’s version of Minute To Win It is better: The American version or The British version? Before I begin my review, I will rate the different factors of both shows as if I were doing a review of both shows. I have also removed the “Play-Along Factor” category for each version for fairness in the ratings because there is no play-along value in either version.
