Host Jeff Dye (middle) and the two special guests causing mayhem in the metropolitan area. |
Premise- Host Jeff Dye approaches a random pedestrian on the street and
engages them in the three-round solo game. After agreeing to play the game, the
contestant will be wearing an earpiece to hear the host and two special guests feed
them instructions. The contestant must
perform ludicrous, ridiculous, and weird tasks in a public establishment, which
are designed to make the people around them as uncomfortable and annoyed as
possible. If they fail to complete any task, they will not be awarded with any
cash. In round one, the contestant has to successfully complete eight tasks worth
$50 each. In the second round, the contestant has to complete three more tasks
worth $100 each. As the game progresses, the tasks will get harder and more
ridiculous. In the third round, the “Speed Round”, the contestant will have to perform
a certain activity in 30 seconds. The game ends when a contestant want to either
stop playing the game or if they were kicked out of the establishment by the
owner or the police were showing up to kick them out. By completing all the
tasks in the game without getting caught, the contestant could win up to $1,000
in cash.
And now, for the review………
Where else can you watch a Charlie Chaplin copycat create his own hairstyle with the aid of (more than enough) mousse? |
Love at first sight (I think). |
Overall, Money From Strangers is an interesting,
comical, and entertaining game show with a solid format. Jeff Dye does a good
job of keeping the show moving and aiding to the mischief and chaos within each
episode. I can see this show lasting for at least two seasons and I hope to see more of this show in the future.
Watch new episodes of Money From Strangers every Monday night at 10:30pm on MTV!!!
