Whodunnit Reality Show Murder

[rainman306]

I thought about the Butler being the murder, but I think that's against the rules.

Then again is anyone really carrying out these "acted murders" or is the cast doing it and one person was just designated as the murder.

Who do you think is the Murder on the ABC reality show Whodunnit??  Now that we are down to the last few weeks.

I thought Kam was the killer for awhile, but now that seems to obvious and I think that Chris it the killer.

Wasnt even aware of it, and I like murder mystery stuff. I have always wanted to go to one of those murder mystery dinner theaters.

I don't think anyone is "voted" off.  They have to very articlualety describe when, how and where someone was murdered and the show always trys to through some "smoke and mirrors" to them to confuse them.  The 2 with the worst murder theory description are given scared cards.  A fake murder is than acted out.  At the end of the shows the murdered person gives a farewell speach and show us they are not really dead.

I caught the fine print at the end of the show which states the contestants take a written exam.  The one with the lowest score is the next "victim".  The show "The Mole" used a similar means of determining the next person eliminated.  The Mole showed staged scenes of the contestants taking the quiz and the audience got to hear a few of the questions they were expected to answer which I thought was interesting.  I like how this show is staging each contestant voicing their version of how they think the murder occurred.

I couldn't believe Ronnie went with a trained monkey explanation for the chandelier falling - too funny!

Thought those who are watching the show would find this article interesting.  It's an interview Ulysses gave to a local news agency.  Provides some behind-the-scenes info on the show that's interesting.

Ok, honestly I haven't heard of this show so have patience if I missed something.  But a reality show involving a killer.....doesn't add up to me.

Imagine if someone took the game or movie "Clue" and turned it into a Reality competition show...that's basically what this is.  It's more of a game where the contestants need to solve riddles and figure out clues.

I like the idea of this show, but I think it plays out rather cheesy. I've been following it "mildly interested".

I love the show, hope it stays as good as it is now.

This is pretty much my assessment of it. This is why I only catch it when I just happen to be flipping through channels and it's on. I don't look for it. Also, this is why I don't see it lasting more than this one season.

    I have watched a lot of programs like that: Who killed...Name...? Scary! Really scary!!!

We started out watching this one.   I love a good mystery and was excited when it first started.
But as it turns out it just seemed to fake.  The people/actors I mean.  That fire on the other had was too graphic!

[rainman306]

Turns out that Chris (a female) was the murder as I had expected since about midway through the show.  It was a nice change of pace reality show -- the final contestants and winning contestant had to display a high degree of intelligence.

For the most part I liked it.  I think it fell apart a little bit with the "reveal" at the end.  Seemed a bit like they were winging it.  If it comes back for another season, hopefully the show runners think of a better way to do the reveal - perhaps actually have the winner really unveil the murderer.

What I found most amusing is the guy who won never thought the girl revealed to be the murderer was the murderer.  The one he thought was the murderer was the last "victim" and then he realized it.

Is it true that the winner was awarded $40million?

No, the cash prize was $250,000 (quarter of a million dollars, not $40 million).

 I really enjoyed the show.  My teenager did as well which is always nice.  I was never really sure who the Killer was though!

It was fun!  I didnt really care who the killer was too much, but he was the one I thought would win it from the first episode.
