UPDATE (Dec. 5 2009): There is some fruitful discussion of this scam going on over at, um, “another blog”: See Play TV Canada is a Scam and Play TV Canada Has No Legs.
I see this “show” on sometimes when I flip on the TV before bed, and I can’t turn away. It’s the most boring thing you could think of: this guy stands there, with some sort of “puzzle” on the screen, and he says that time is running out for someone to call in, give the solution to the puzzle, and win $500. That’s it. He stands there, babbling, waiting for the phone to ring.
The thing is, it’s a blatant scam. These people use subtle and not-so-subtle psychological tricks to persuade people to dial a number that costs $2.00 to call. For example, there is constant time pressure. The guy will put a countdown on the screen until the end of the contest. When it runs out he’ll pretend he’s fighting the producers to extend the deadline. The whole time, his phone sits there, not ringing. So you feel like, wow, this seems fishy, but I gotta decide right now, nobody else is calling, and the puzzle is easy (see above), so I’m guaranteed $500!
Another variation on the scam is putting up a “puzzle” with the terms of the solution so vague that it’s pretty much guessing at random answers. Then, even if you get through, you’ll get it wrong. Last night they showed a picture, and the puzzle was “how many hearts are in the picture?” But there were hearts within hearts, partial hearts, hearts that were covered but could be inferred, hearts too small to see, etc. Depending on which assumptions you include or exclude, there is a very large number of reasonable answers. So you hear people getting through occasionally, but they’re all wrong.
The underlying scam is in fine text at the bottom: “calling in enters you into a random draw to give a guess on the air.” So they arbitrarily decide when to air someone’s guess. They no doubt time it for the maximum illusion that not many people are calling, so if you call, you will surely win. Meanwhile, thousands of people are calling in at $2.00 a call. At the end of the show, they finally allow someone to get through on the easy puzzle, give them $500, then these assholes walk away with a profit of tens of thousands of dollars.
Yet, even knowing it’s a scam, I can’t turn away. Hearing the poor (probably literally poor) confused people get on the air, falling for the greedy tricks, it’s like witnessing a crime. So bottom line: fuck you, PlayTV Canada. And a bonus fuck you to Global Television for allowing this morally bankrupt shit to air.

Not to mention them outright having ridiculous answers…Their questions of 'Add these numbers together' questions, where there is no way the question or numbers could have been interpreted in a way to get their answer.
The CRTC needs to step in and punish global for allowing this shit (disclaimer or no disclaimer)

I only discovered this show last night and I could not tear myself away – simply cause I was interested in seeing what the CORRECT answer was! I took a picture of the puzzle on the screen and waited – the hearts one was 107 “apparently”.
Tonight's show they had submarine dive sirens and everything going in the last 10 minutes of the show in another one of those “which picture is different” grid games and it being the FINAL MOMENTS OF THE SHOW! (with 7 minutes to go).
I'd love to know how much they line their pockets with every night!

Some countries have entire CHANNELS for this garbage, apparently ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiz_channel ). I used to watch one here in the states, and you're right, it's impossible to turn it off. There's just so many insane audio and video effects going on, not to mention that I'm fairly certain the hosts were all on speed.
Sometimes it was possible to figure out the correct answer for certain (word jumbles, etc.) and I'd punch in my number online, because hell, it was easy and free (you only have to pay to enter if you're dumb enough to enter by text message), but best that ever happened was I got the call back to wait on hold to try to answer. I assume they call a number of extra people in case some don't answer or bother to stay on the line. And yes, they actually call YOU, not the other way around. At least, that's how this one worked.

Even if the response rate is 0.0001%, you'll make hundreds of thousands of dollars. So sad.

Dan: Thanks.
Fred: Yeah, I saw a number one a few nights ago. A bunch of numbers on the screen, and the “question” was something like: “count the numbers on the screen?” And aside from the butchering of the English language, the answer clearly involved adding up number in some random way, not just counting.
MrGameShow: Yeah it's strangely compelling. I bet they are more successful than they deserve to be. Even if they're driven from the air, they'll have made a killing.
Candice: Ugh, whole channels? Yeah there's a free online one for this too, which makes them call you. I'm sure that's only there because it legally has to be.
Torn: It's terrible. Hopefully it's limited to Ontario.
Blondie: It is sad. Especially because the .0001% who do call are probably the ones who can afford it least.

Out of curiousity, I decided to email the show to ask for the solution for the “Season 09” puzzle from the Hallowe'en episode, and here's the reply I got from them:
thanks for your mail but please consider that the “audited methodology” does not mean we are allowed to give away the formula of counting our puzzles, but means that the puzzle has only one correct answer and the way of getting to that solution is checked, audited.
Nevertheless, having a formula for counting does not mean that there is a trickery or anything is hidden in the puzzle. It would be unfair to other participants to give away the formula of the puzzle.
Our puzzles are checked by both show directors and computer programs before entering the show.”
So obviously there is an alternative method to solving these puzzles – would be interesting to find out in the long run.

And this reminds me… as a proud Liberal Democrat-minded dude in Seattle, I listen occasionally to my liberally-minded talk radio station. One person called in and stated his opposition to any and all health care reform quite plainly: “It already takes me two weeks to get in to see my doctor; if all these millions of people suddenly get coverage, then that wait time will triple, and I don't want THAT!” I had never thought of that perspective.
This guy's rant was probably what a LOT of folks were thinking, but didn't have the stones to say. Same folks who have “God Bless America” bumper stickers on their cars, yet don't want regular poor folk to have access to health care outside of the state-run urine-smelling emergency rooms.

Oh yes, it would be terrible to wait a few extra minutes with a sore throat. Much better that people who can't afford health care die or have their lives destroyed than wait a few extra minutes.
Personally, I've never waited more than a day to see a doctor with an appointment. Emergency room waits can be long, but only because the people who need care the most get seen first, no matter how much money they make. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Hey guys great blog. …Just a curious thing I noticed. You posted on Oct 31st that the puzzle was “how many hearts are in this picture”. A lady posted taht she saw taht episode and the answer was 107. Well I LOVE math problems and puzzles so I saw it yesterday or rather early this morning at 2:30am Nov 08,2009 in Ontario.
Anyway the picture was of lucy and shroder from charlie brown and there was 4cards of hearts above them. Just wondering if it was the same picture cause if it was this morning's answer was 152 and no one got it right. I've been going over it and over it and there is no way to get 152. If it is the same picture then it obviously is a scam as a few weeks ago the answer was 107 and last night it was 152.
The other picture was a find the differences puzzle. Seemed like no one was calling in and there was only 5 min left of the show. Then at the very end some guy got the right answer (it was very obvious) and he won $500.Not sure if he actually will get his money.
I've never ever seen this before but then again i've never been up that late before (sick) but it was scary I actually thought about caling in…my boyfriend forbid me and thank GOD because it is a scam! Now I know.
Anyway great blog!

Within the first 15 minutes I was convinced I had the right answer to the puzzle (the same as the hearts puzzle you described, except you have to count the numbers in the puzzle). After a bit I started second guessing myself and changing my answer when callers guessed my answer and got it wrong. A few minutes ago I started to have suspicions that this show was some sort of raud and decided to look it up on google. I found this blog, read it and found myself nodding alot. What you described is exactly what is going on, you sure do have this guy/show figured out. It's been on for about half an hour now and although I'm getting annoyed at this show, I can't seem to stop watching. Although the answer is irrelevant at this point, I have this strong desire to keep watching 'till the end.
