Caught In The Middle

[TV.Cynic]

Caught In The Middle is the ultimate quiz battle between one duo and one hundred opponents.

The duo stands at the centre of a giant LED arena surrounded by a hundred opponents. Over the course of 15 questions, they must outsmart the crowd by picking answers that match as many rivals as possible; knocking them out one by one before the opponents reach the middle and claim the life-changing jackpot for themselves.

Hosted by Shane Jacobson, the compelling new series comes from Talpa Studios, the independent global content house founded by John de Mol, the legendary producer and creator of The Voice, The Floor and many other hits. It is being produced for Seven by Talpa Studios and Eureka.

New in Q2 will be quiz show Caught in the Middle filmed in the Netherlands with host Shane Jacobson.

“It’s just launched in the Netherlands, and it’s their biggest quiz show in five years. It’s actually got a different name over there. It’s called In de Ring. We decided to keep Caught in the Middle, thinking that’s probably too dangerous to get some memes in the Australian market!” he reveals.

The gameplay involves both general knowledge questions as well as strategic gameplay.

“Think Family Feud, where there’s a million right answers. There’s the top answers most people say, … but if the people in the middle say the same thing as you, you’re out,” Hall explains.

“You could answer a really good, hard answer question, and then you’re waiting to see, ‘Did the people in the middle say the same answer as you, or not?'”
