What do you get when you take a person, a chair, a pit that probably represents {{Hell}}, and someone who's practically TheDevil himself (well, in the world of UsefulNotes/{{tennis}} anyway)? You get this short-lived Creator/{{ABC}} GameShow hosted by tennis analyst and former player John [=McEnroe=], who was best known for several infamous on-court confrontations during major tournaments. The show was in fact a [[UsefulNotes/NewZealand Kiwi]] creation for Touchdown Television (now Eyeworks Touchdown) by Julie Christie, Darryl [=McEwen=] and Brian Bigg.

** The original New Zealand version used this variation in at least the first episode. Another variation existed: the contestant must answer 7 questions in 60 seconds on a chosen category from the three shown on the screen. Each correct answer would earn them money; each wrong answer would take away money ''only'' from their stabilized amount.

** The Stabilizer, earned after the third question, could be used after any correct answer from that point on. It allowed a player to set a checkpoint at whatever total they had earned, guaranteeing that they would keep that amount if they missed a question later on. However if they redlined their bank below this checkpoint, said checkpoint would ''also'' go down to match. In the British version, the player ''must'' stabilize after question five if they had not done so at that point.
