The Enemy Within - er, "The Hustler" - coming to ABC
« on: October 14, 2019, 10:38:22 PM »
ABC announced a new game show, The Hustler, with Craig Ferguson as host.

The description sounds like it's an American version of The Enemy Within, with at least one change; at some point during the show, the "enemy" secretly chooses two of the four opponents to eliminate from the show. Please tell me that wasn't added to make it easier for the contestants (and the home viewers) to figure out who the enemy is...

I can’t imagine how this would help ascertain the Hustler other than by knocking out two choices. I loved Nigel, but on his show, there wasn’t much “sleuthing,” it was just a guess. Since anyone’s right answer added to the payout, there wasn’t enough incentive to risk tipping your hand.
