![]() ![]() ![]() The format for the last three years of the show's run was completely different, the stunt oriented rounds were gone and in place were visual questions and when the couple wins a visual question game, one of the couple members has to run to an aisle in the mega store and grab a box that has a prize in it. All the prizes the couple accommodated in one minute and thirty seconds have prices and if the total is over $2,500 they win a trip. The final round has one member of the couple being receive small prizes where they can either run throughout the mall and drop it off at a store and picked up the one that was at the store and drop it off at the table or just bring it to the table. Then there is a speed round where the two couples face off answering a variety of pop culture related questions and the couple with the most points at the end of one minute and thirty seconds they go on to the final round called the "Shop 'Til You Drop Round" which became the vocal point of the show. The format for the first twelve years were very stunt oriented where two couples participate in a variety of stunts that are shaped around pop culture and after completing the stunt, they choose a store in the mall and they win a prize. The first twelve years were hosted by Pat Finn and the last three years of the show's run by JD Roberto. I mean, this show has been around for much of the '90s, so it has some staying power, even if the game itself is a little goofy.Shop 'Til You Drop was a game show created by Stone Stanley Productions that aired between July 8th, 1991 and May 27th, 2005 across Lifetime, The Family Channel and PAX-TV. This show is one of those reasons: it's not a terribly original concept, with Beat the Clock and The Price is Right having beaten it to the punch it's hosted by a man who appears to have 46 teeth and the prizes are kinda chinsy (things like chafing dishes and Jules Jurgensen watches). Ask any fan of the genre about this production company, and you'll often be met with a cringe. Stone-Stanley is the whipping boy in the game show fandom. If the team could amass more than $2500 in prizes, they also won a vacation. ![]() After all six boxes were kept or exchanged, or after time ran out, the value of the prizes were added up. If the prize was rejected, the runner took the box to one of the stores in the mall, exchanged with the box there, and brought that to the table. If the team decided to keep the gift that was opened, the runner took it to a table on the opposite side of the set and hit a button at center stage, prompting the shopper to open another box. One member of the team opened boxes at a table, while the other player ran the packages around the mall. If there was a tie, one sudden-death question was asked.Įnd Game Rules The team now has 90 seconds to shop for gifts. The team with the highest score at the end of the round won the game and went on to the bonus round. Team members alternated the resposibility of answering each question. The third round was called the "Shopper's Challenge" round, which was a 90-second speed round of questions. Completing a stunt successfully earns the team 100 points in round 1, or 200 points in round 2, plus the opportunity to win a prize by selecting one of the stores in the makeshift "mall" on the set. In each round, one team is shown the first stunt, and then has a choice of either playing that stunt or passing it to the other team and playing the second stunt in the round. In the first two rounds, each team took part in a stunt that involved pricing items, Hollywood celebrities, or just generally being silly.
