The Waiting Game

2001

Last aired: S2 E10, Episode 10 · 2002-06-15

Ruby Wax hosts The Waiting Game, where teams face timed trivia challenges in which patience becomes part of the strategy. The longer a contestant waits before buzzing in, the greater the potential reward — but hesitate too long and the risk increases. The show mixes quick thinking with calculated nerve, as teamwork, timing and judgement prove just as important as general-knowledge know-how.
