The new season of “Get Rich” made many believe that it is worth trying for a penny. From the very beginning there is a misunderstanding with the quiz games around the world and in our country – everyone feels bold as in an epic battle to test their IQ.
He always knows something, and even if he is not a genius, he will make money, he will become famous, he will brag to friends and relatives, he will post his video on social networks. Weirl culture turned out to be more contagious than covid.
This new social phenomenon put the editorial teams of television games in an unusual situation and began to generate blunder after blunder – both theirs and the participants. As Sir Terry Pratchett has noted, “True stupidity defeats artificial intelligence every time,” and we would add, why not in a TV competition that tests our culture and mind.
Certainly from participating in “Get Rich” or “The Last Wins” there is no way to get rich. And not only because the prize in the smart game of bTV is BGN 100,000, but also because no one gets even close to it. The participants “thunder” their jokers for another BGN 1,000.
In “The Last Wins” each of the participants receives a fee of BGN 300, and the winner leaves with BGN 600. But the amount won still works – you can pay some bills, for example. It is this Balkan business model that creates the blunders.
With some sadness, we can recall how the legendary American actor John Carpenter used his latest joker – “Call a friend” – just to tell his father that he knew the answer for $ 1 million.
Already in the first editions of “Get Rich”, marking the 20th anniversary of the game on the Bulgarian air, the editors admitted absurdity, and so misled the participant with information about football legend Paolo Rossi.
From the show they hurried to come out with an official position on the blunder and to admit that they were deceived by Bulgarian and foreign sources, and the author of the question has fallen victim to a repeated lie.
A few days later, a new blunder became a “chewing gum” for vigilant spectators. A lady in the audience took 5 leva from her purse, according to some, to suggest the correct answer to the question: “Who is depicted on the banknote?” Did the participant see or not? Or she herself wanted to verify her assumption, we can’t know. But there is a mistake anyway.
However, it is just a statistic when it comes to a participant who completely loses his mind and his words.
This happened to Vasilena Dimitrova, who was so excited that Bilalov had to ask her if the problem was not in him or if someone in the audience was showing her obscene gestures.
The complete blockade reached its climax when the question “Who owns the remark:“ I will make him an offer he cannot resist. ”She was convinced that the answer was Batman, because the other two were Vito Corleone and Homer. The Simpsons are not famous enough, she has not heard them, and the line is quite popular.
But even these shoots are fading in the face of a curiosity with a participant from 2018. 22-year-old Alexandrina said that the Turkish capital Ankara is in Greece and the sun is rising from the west. However, she managed to reach a question for BGN 5,000, which finally stumbled her. According to her, “artificial intelligence” is a problem in Bulgaria – “to hire students with a solid salary without knowledge”.
There is also fermentation when it turns out that the questions are too difficult for the competence of “ordinary citizens.” This happened with a mathematical question, which is said to be one of the most difficult in the game.
Gaffes are also created by the presenter, who likes to improvise with his acting talent – sometimes by comparing himself to St. Archangel Michael or by inappropriately joking with “I’m playing with your mother” when a participant uses the “Call a friend” joker.
A few days ago, he showed his sense of humor with the future husband of a young lady, saying: “Good evening! We have some bad news for you, but you are getting married tomorrow. Condolences!”. When it became clear that Jaro from “Undercover” is the person who will replace Niki Kanchev in the show, at that moment he became a scratching dust in the eyes of fans of the game. followers, ready to do anything to bring Kanchev back.
The most popular game competes successfully not only in terms of rating, but also in terms of shoots with “The Last Wins” on BNT 1, since its inception. A blunder of the team cost the victory of the multiple winner Georgi Georgiev. In the last round, which is crucial for the final ranking, the participant was asked “Who carried out the attack in Marseilles, in which the Yugoslav King Alexander I was killed?”.
The contestant replied that it was Velichko Kerin. However, Orlin Goranov did not consider the answer to be correct and said that the correct answer was Vlado Chernozemski, also known as Peter Keleman. Velichko Kerin is the birth name of Vlado Chernozemski. Peter Keleman is one of the many pseudonyms Chernozemski uses. The mistake is even more unpleasant, because if Georgiev’s answer had been taken into account, he would have won the game, writes “Telegraph”.
In the category “Marathoners” a participant was asked what is the nickname of Hristo Nikolov. The correct answer was “Diesel”, although the name of the athlete is Kiril, not Hristo. There was a shocking shootout with the question of who was the father of Elizabeth II. The correct answer is George VI, not Edward VIII, according to the show’s crew.
Last year, The Last Won nearly said goodbye to fans for quoting an anti-Semitic statement by Shah legend Bobby Fischer: “Jews don’t like to work. And this is one of the things that Jews hated in Hitler’s concentration camps. There have never been gas chambers. This is nonsense! But when you go to the camp, there is an inscription: “Arbyte maht fry”. In Bulgarian: “Work makes you free”. But the Jews do not believe this. They believe that you have to do all the work, and they reap the profits. That’s the problem with Jews. “
Kalin Terziiski, a member of the Last Wins team, also suffered. The question “What education does Kalin Terziiski have?”
No one is insured to break into the game, even if he is a popular person. Thus, in 2013, the current MP Hristo Petrov, or in other words Itso Hazarta, together with Gogo Lozanov fell into the trap of a wrong answer, set as true. They both have to answer the question: “Who created the only goal attack in Monty Python’s” Football Match of Philosophers “?” Archimedes is noted as the author of the goal attack and only winning a certain amount gets the attractive tandem out of total loss
On the page of the lecturer’s report, it reads: “The whole world is naked! Check the information!” In 2009, while still mayor, Boyko Borissov won BGN 20,000 from “Get Rich.” At the time, he was in tandem with historian Bozhidar Dimitrov.
The amount won by them is added to the total final amount of VIP Brother 3. In fact, the two come to a question for BGN 100,000, but fail to answer and fall from the BGN 50,000 won to BGN 5,000. However, host Niki Kanchev gives them a chance if they answer true to the question of BGN 200,000, to get back BGN 20,000.
The Russians offer bribes, in Vietnam with the most wrong answers
A few years ago, an unprecedented bribery scandal erupted in Russia’s Get Rich. Druze and his teammate Victor Sidnev reached the last question for 3 million rubles, which read “Which figure completes the chess combination that leads to Legal’s checkmate?” The participants answered “king” , but the right one was a “horse.” So they were left with only a certain sum of 200,000 rubles.
Two months after the show, Ilya Beer posted recordings on the Internet that he claimed were from his telephone conversations with Druze. He, in turn, says that it was the editor-in-chief of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” who proposed the scheme with the answers against half of the prize fund.
The Austrian Peter Prince has to answer a question about 15,000 euros with four wrong answers. The question is, “Who won a silver medal in swimming at the 1952 Olympics?”
Andrei Shakhmatov from Kazakhstan takes the “Help from the Audience” joker to the question “Which continent has the most countries”, the options are North America, Eurasia, South America and Africa, and the audience votes 71% for the wrong answer Eurasia and 23% for Africa, which is the right answer. The computer considers Eurasia to be faithful. This fact sets a precedent in the show – the only case in the world so far when the computer of “Get Rich” has messed up.
Vietnam has the most wrong questions – over 20 wrong questions. Gaffes are also published in the United States, Russia, Croatia, Ireland, Australia, Poland, Slovakia, Hong Kong and Japan.
Iskra Angelova’s father is the only one who won BGN 100,000, he returns them
And we have given history an interesting case. The only player who won the maximum amount turned out to be an “insider” – Iskra Angelova’s father, who at the time was the host of the morning show “U nas” on Nova TV.
In a private conversation, Stefan Valdobrev told Niki Kanchev how happy he was for his colleague Iskra that her father won BGN 100,000. The rules of the game prohibit the participation of employees of producers, television, sponsors and all companies associated with the show, as well as members of their families.
But when Angelov found out, he was so excited that the rules were his last concern. “Although I did not think we were one family, I immediately agreed to return the money,” said Angelov, who agreed with the producers that the 100,000 levs should not go to the box office, not the television, but be given to charity. the media at the time.
