Yes, it was flawed. The Prisoner's Dilemma is supposed to be set up in a way that both participants choosing to turn on each other is worse for them than both choosing not to. But because you were guaranteed to lose your prizes if your opponent chose to try to "Take It All" regardless of what you did, there was no reason not to.

The one episode I remember the ending to had one player who failed miserably to hide that they were going to try to Take It All, so there was nothing the other player could do. All of the tension ceased to exist because the outcome couldn't have been more obvious.

I still remember this stinker almost a decade after it aired. One of the worst shows I've seen in my entire life. How do you screw up the tension of your final round by having *zero* reason for the players to not at least try to backstab their opponent (let alone encouraging it by letting them take all the prizes)?

And the production values were terrible. What was the budget, two packs of Twizzlers and whatever handful of change was in the Producer's pocket that day? It looked like something filmed for a high-school filmmaking class, not a professional project with enough funding to hire Howie Mandel at the peak of his career. Everyone involved should have been embarrassed. No wonder they burned it off in the middle of December where as few people as possible could watch it.

I'm one of maybe a dozen people who ever remembers this show existed and that's a dozen people too many. Garbage.

This show was great the prizes were amazing the concept wasn't flawed,you couldn't tell who would of one or not you took a guess half the time you were probably wrong so I hope this show keeps going.

Awful show with a truly flawed concept, especially the final round, which more often than not can be predicted before it even happens. I hope this one is a bust; it will not be missed.
