"The Rich List" is a TV One New Zealand television game show, which debuted on June 232007 and screens at 8:30PM. The show is hosted by Jason Gunn and is produced by Imagination Television. Despite many people believing it was cancelled, it has been renewed for a second season, according to TVNZ, it's broadcasting network. It will replace another Kiwi show Stars In Their Eyes.

How the game works

Two teams containing two players, who are unknown to each other, play from inside sound proof pods. Then they can discuss and deliberate over answers and tactics with their team mate, without their opponents hearing what their game strategy may be, or how many answers they actually know.

The two teams bid upwards against each other while predicting how many examples of a particular subject they will be able to list. If a team fails to list as many answers as they predicted, the other team wins the round.

The winners of the best of three lists move on to play The "Rich List", a new game of list-making where increasing amounts of money are up for grabs, like this :

Controversy

The episode which aired on Tuesday 8 July, 2008 contained an error in the final Rich List which caused the winners to lose the list. The list was "Polygons up to 20 sides". The list excluded all quadrilaterals, although triangles were included. TVNZ is currently investigating the cause of this error.
