101 Ways to Leave a Gameshow (Dryicor)

101 tapaa jättää pelinäyttely (English: 101 Ways to Leave a Gameshow) was a game show broadcast on Channel 5 in the summer of 2011, presented by Harris Korkoinen. Based on the British version, , the show was never recommissioned, and achieved dismal ratings in the Saturday primetime slot, losing out to the BOD's Total Wipeout and DTV's golden goose Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.

Format
The show's production company, Endemol, describes the show as "the play-along fun of a glitzy, Saturday night quiz with the full-on adrenaline rush of an extreme stunt show." Each episode features eight contestants, with a mix of sexes, ages and backgrounds, competing to be the winner of the 20 000 Kr prize. Contestants are reduced one by one in the first four rounds, attempting to guess the correct answers to a selection of multiple-choice questions. The contestant who chooses the wrong answer will leave the show in spectacular fashion, in one of the "101 ways to leave". At any time during the first four rounds, a buzzer could sound, which announces the start of the "Emergency Exit" round. In this round, contestants are asked a series of questions at random, with the first contestant to give a wrong answer being eliminated. In the final round, only three contestants remain, who have to answer one last question in an attempt to win the jackpot prize.

Gameplay
In each of the first four rounds, Korkoinen reveals the exit method that will be used to dismiss the losing contestant, numbered between 1 and 101. He then asks a question and reads as many answers as there are contestants still in the game; all but one of them are correct. After each contestant secretly chooses one answer, all reveal their selections. If any answer is chosen by multiple contestants, a toss-up question on the buzzer is used to determine who gets to keep it, with the others required to select again from the unchosen answers. Further toss-ups are played as needed until all contestants have chosen different answers, at which point they are prepared for the exit. Jones reveals one correct answer at a time until only two contestants are left in jeopardy, then announces the wrong answer. The contestant who chose it is immediately eliminated from the game.

Once per episode, a buzzer sounds off between rounds to indicate that an Emergency Exit round must be played. Jones asks a question to one contestant at a time in random order, and the first to miss a question is eliminated.

Once three contestants remain, the fifth and final round begins, following the same format as the previous four except that the question has only one right answer. The contestant who chooses it wins 20 000 Kr, while the other two are dismissed by exit #101, "The Trap Door" - being dropped through trapdoors on which they are standing to fall into the water below.

101 Ways to Leave
As the show flopped so badly not all 101 ways were used, however some are listed below. Note the Emergency Exit is not numbered.

Reception
Reception to 101 Ways to Leave a Gameshow was poor from both critics and viewers. TV critic Janne Schwartz said it "has summer filler written all over it" and criticised the fact that many of the exits were simply variations of others (i.e. #15, #17, #19, #38). Readers of gameshows.dr ranked it #1 in the "Hall of Shame 2011" poll.
