The 1% Club Rollover makes debut as 70% question sparks 'massacre' - but could you have answered it?
It wiped a huge number of contestants outThe 1% Club Rollover hit screens for the first time last night – but the third question of the show sparked a “massacre” among the contestants.
Lee Mack kicked off the brand new spin-off with 100 players hoping to win an enormous prize pot this week.
But within minutes, a huge swathe of them had already been wiped out on the 70% question. Could you have answered it?
The 1% Club Rollover: 70% question wipe-out
The 1% Club Rollover got underway on Monday night. The new spin-off will air every night this week, with the best players having the chance to win a big prize pot by Friday evening.
Each night, those who make it to the final 1% question have the opportunity to take £10,000 and return the next night. The prize money is then rolled over too.
Last night, one player made it to the end and has done exactly this. Chris will be back tonight and trying again with a newly-boosted prize pot of £198,000.
But unfortunately for 21 others, their dreams of mega money was dashed before they had barely begun. They all fell foul of the 70% question, which was a riddle about four animals.
Lee Mack: ‘That was a massacre’
The tricky question featured pictures of a dog (labelled A), a parrot (labelled B), a goat (labelled C) and a cat (labelled D) from left to right. Lee asked: “Lily is sitting next to Twinkle. Twinkle has hooves. Chaucer has no fur. Which an animal is Bob?”
When the time was up, blue lights began pinging all around to indicate who had got it wrong and was out of the game.
Lee gasped: “Wow, that was a massacre. We lost 21 people. Let’s have a look at the answer.”
He explained that the correct answer was A. Lee said: “It’s A, Twinkle has hooves so must be the goat. Chaucer has no fur so must be the parrot. Lily can now only be the cat, so Bob must be the dog.”
One player who got the question wrong was Michelle. She told Lee: “I wasn’t sure between A or D but couldn’t convince myself to put A. I think Bob sounds like a cat instead of a dog.”
Lee replied: “I don’t think that’s how logic works.”
Viewers at home also found themselves crashing out on the 70% question. One wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “I’m already out!” Another added: “I’m lost with this question already!”
1% Club Rollover
The 1% Club Rollover returns to ITV1 tonight for another episode. The prize pot is now standing at an incredible £198,000 thanks to the new rollover format.
Only one player made it to the end on Monday, a chap called Chris. He hadn’t used his free pass, so was awarded £1,000. He then chose to take £10,000 instead of play the 1% question.
As a result, Monday’s finishing pot of £98,000 has been added to Tuesday’s £100,000 prize. This means tonight’s show starts with £198,000 in the bank. And Chris is allowed back to compete for it again!
The show is airing every night this week. This means that the prize could stand at almost £500,000 by Friday if it gets rolled over every night.
Tune in tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX to see if Chris can make it to the 1% question again. We’re already invested!
