1 vs. 100 Premiere

The new GSN game show revival "1 vs. 100" premiered at 7:00PM today with host Carrie Ann Inaba and narrator Bob Guiney. New episodes of 1 vs. 100 are broadcast on GSN for half an hour every weeknight (Monday-Friday) at 7:00PM and are rerun at 10:00PM. The game show "1 vs. 100" premiered on NBC in 2006 with host Bob Saget. In the game show, a contestant faces a "mob" of 100 people for the chance of $1,000,000. They had to answer multiple choice questions along with the 100 people. The contestant has 3 "helps":
Poll the Mob - The contestant gets to find out how many people chose one of the three answers.
Ask the Mob - The contestant got to ask two mob members, one with the right answer and one with a wrong answer, and find out why they chose it. It was shown on broadcasting that the mob members had to tell the truth about what their answer was, but could lie about why they chose it. In the GSN revival, this help is not available.
Trust the Mob - the contestant has to lock in the most popular mob answer

In the first season (2006-2007), the contestant earned a certain amount of money based on how many mob members were eliminated on the question and which question it was. In the second season (2007-2008), the money tree was reworked so the amount of money earned solely depended on how many mob members were eliminated. In the third season, which began at 7 o'clock earlier, the money tree was very similar to the one from the second season, except the money values are different, with $50,000 being the top prize. Here are the money trees:
