Temptation (2007 U.S. Game Show) - Shopper's Paradise

Shopper's Paradise

The end game was played in two parts:

• Super Knock-Off: Nearly identical to the main-game round, except six answers were correct and six answers were wrong. Correct choices netted the contestant anywhere from $25 to $100. Four answers were worth $25, one was worth $50, and one was worth $100 (for a cumulative maximum of $250). The contestant could stop at any time, as a wrong answer ended the game and forfeited any cash accumulated during that round.

• Shopper's Paradise: Almost the same in concept as the original "shopping" format from the 1969–1974 Sale of the Century, the contestant was shown five prizes, each in ascending value, at greatly reduced prices; the most expensive prize was usually a car, but sometimes an expensive trip was offered instead. After all five prizes were announced, the contestant was given time during the final commercial break, which also included promotional consideration credits, to ponder whether he/she wanted to buy a prize (as long as there was enough money available), or bank their score and return on the next show to try to buy one of the more expensive items. In the event that a contestant did not have enough money to buy any prize, they were offered the chance to either buy a Croton diamond watch with their winnings or return to the next show. Like prior versions, the bonus prizes changed each week.

Unlike the Australian version and the 1980s Sale of the Century, there was no opportunity to buy all on-stage prizes nor receive a cash jackpot for accumulating a high amount of money.

A contestant continued as champion until they purchased a prize from "Shopper's Paradise" (as with the 1980s version, a contestant who had accumulated enough money to do so could not buy more than one prize), had accumulated enough money to purchase the top prize, or was defeated. Unlike previous versions, a five-time champion was forced to retire and buy any prize they could afford, whether or not it was the top prize.
