burchybabi Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 âRise & Fallâ, a new reality show from the creators of The Traitors starts on Channel 4 on Sunday: The show will see 16 members of the public, from all walks of life and ages, begin the game as equals but soon find themselves either in a position of power as a ârulerâ or as part of the powerless as a âgrafterâ. The grafters will be living in basic conditions in a basement while the rulers live in a penthouse. The grafters work to complete a series of physically demanding games and challenges to build a cash prize fund only the rulers can win. The rulers must encourage the grafters to work harder, but if they push too hard they might find themselves toppled from power. Anyone can rise to a position of power and anyone can fall, which will be decided by the other players. At the end of the game, only one ruler will have the chance of winning the prize fund.

DavidB6937 Posted Tuesday at 06:50 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:50 AM Just caught up with the interviews. Considering I saw headlines of bullying and stuff like that, I was expecting a lot more. It felt quite tame really. They all made stupid mistakes and deserved to be called out for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTXRussomark Posted Tuesday at 08:18 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:18 AM The interviews were complete garbage this year, not helped by the proposed businesses being pretty mundane (another pick n mix business!?). In fact the whole series has felt like a massive step down, which is really saying something considering the declining quality over recent years.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
