Total winnings - £80,000
Average winnings per contestant - £7,272
As noticed, this year's specials have suffered a massive decline to last year. Firstly the average winnings at £7.272 is the lowest average for a series in the history of the UK version. Also by a large margin, as the previous lowest series average was £17,600, achieved in spring 2010. The final series before the clock was introduced. In addition to what was mentioned on the main blog post. The viewer prize was worth £90,000 in total. Eleven contestants failed to win a combination to match the prize value. As well as nobody winning £50,000 on the show itself. The viewer prize included £50,000 in cash.
I have already explained the problems the show is experiencing in the hands of Victory Television. However, I am not one to defend Celador in all their glory. I have participated on Lewis Murphy's Fifty50 podcast. Where I talk about the show as a whole but mentioning problems in the Celador era. Including syndicates, dodgy rules and even repeating of questions. You can listen to it via here.
