Quick Review of "The 21st Question"

On the new ITV daytime game show, the game begins with 11 contestants answering the first question that contains 10 possible answers, in which five are right. The contestants who answer correctly in the fastest time decides either which position he/she wants to be placed in the game, between 1 and 10, or become the “Power Player”. During the game, the Power Player will face the other contestants in numerical order, one at a time, in a series of three-question duels. Every time the Power Player answers a question correctly, £100 is added to the jackpot and the question value increases £100 for each additional game the Power Player plays. A challenger is eliminated upon answering a question incorrectly or failing to eliminate the Power Player in three questions or before the 21st question. A Power Player is eliminated upon answering a question incorrectly and the challenger providing a correct answer to the same question. Each contestant is equipped with a “Double Up”, which doubles the difficulty of the question and the question’s value. The contestant who is the Power Player at the end of the 20th question will answer “The 21st Question”.
