History Series / NextOne

The contestant then goes to the Champion's Chair, and a new contestant is brought on with a goal to beat their score. Whoever is the current champion at the end of the show advances to a BonusRound to win more money. However, there are a few special scrolls in the mix as well, including "Lo Iettatore" (the Jinx) -- where the contestant [[{{Whammy}} loses all their money]], and must answer a question from the character Lo Iettatore to stay in the game; "La Pariglia" (duel) -- where the contestant must answer a question against the current champion for a chance to eliminate them and steal their bank; and "[[TitleDrop Avanti un Altro!]]" -- which simply eliminates the contestant instantly.

* BonusRound: Continuing with the theme of simple premises made complicated, the contestant gets two-and-a-half minutes to answer 21 more A/B questions in a row "correctly". Except here, the correct response is to give the ''[[NowDoItAgainBackwards incorrect answer]]''. If you answer correctly or, until 2015, you take more than two seconds to answer, you have to go right back to the beginning and start over (thankfully, you ''don't'' have to wait for the question to be completed before answering). Succeed and you win €100,000 plus the money you banked in the main game; if time expires, the contestant gets another 100 seconds to keep going for just €100,000 (the prize goes down by €1,000 every second). Once the cash countdown hits €50,000 (50 seconds, later reduced to €30,000/30 seconds), the contestant can [[PressXToNotDie stop the clock]] by breaking a [[RuleOfCool beam of light]]. When they do that, they get one last chance to finish the chain from the beginning, and if they fail (this includes by timing out on a question - the same two seconds until 2015, 10 seconds since then), they go home with nothing. It ''is'' possible to win, but in the tradition of quite a few other Italian game shows (namely ''L'eredità''), it is quite difficult to do so.

Next One! (Italian: Avanti un Altro!) is an Italian GameShow, where the goal is to be the contestant that has banked the most money at the end of the show.

Wait a second... that's all? There ''has'' to be a twist somewhere...

Yes, there is. It's [[VarietyShow what else]] that happens on the show.

In a normal round, the contestant is asked four questions with two answers each from a category. If the contestant can get three out of the four, they get to pick a scroll from a carousel, which contain various denominations of cash (and some other stuff, [[Series/TicTacDough we'll explain those when we get to them]]) that gets added to their bank. After each round, the contestant can choose to risk their money and play on (failing to answer the required number of questions results in elimination), or stop and move to the Champion's Chair, where their current total becomes the score to beat by other contestants (who can steal away control by getting a higher total and stopping).

Of course, what's a game show involving mystery envelopes without ''something'' dangerous hidden amongst them? There's The Jinx (Lo Iettatore, which takes away all of the player's money, and forces them to answer a question from Lo Iettatore to stay in the game), Duel (La Pariglia, where the contestant faces off against the current Champion on one question: if the challenger wins, the Champion is eliminated and the challenger steals all their money. If the champion wins, the challenger is eliminated), and "[[TitleDrop Next One!]]", which results in instant elimination.

In the name of fun, the main game also features frequent [[RandomEncounter random encounters]] with various characters. Things might be normal one round, but then the next might involve identifying a movie scene performed in Chinese, or having to play "[[Creator/DavidLetterman Will it Float?]]" with the [[MadScientist Mad]] [[GratuitousGerman German]] [[MadScientist Scientist]]! Or, you may receive a visit from someone who will offer you a free massage ''and'' [[DoubleTheDollars double the euros]]. Any other RandomEncounter lets you switch out your chosen scroll for another (hopefully of higher value) if you get their bonus question right. (Get it wrong, though, and you're gone.) [[http://www.bothersbar.co.uk/?page_id=6356 Bothers Bar sums up the experience thoroughly]].

Whoever is the champion at the end of the game goes on to play what is most likely the most diabolical BonusRound since the [[Series/WinningLines Wonderwall]] for a chance to win up to €100,000, plus their in-game bank. All in all, the combination of comedy, musical antics, and a rather solid game adds up to create what could probably be considered the most intentionally crazy game show ever created.

* BonusRound: It's so ridiculous that it makes the [[Series/{{Whew}} average]] [[Series/{{Blackout}} Jay Wolpert]] production look ''sane'' — you get 2 minutes and 30 seconds to answer 21 more A/B questions in a row ''[[NowDoItAgainBackwards incorrectly]]''. If you answer correctly or, until 2015, you take more than two seconds to answer, you have to go right back to the beginning and start over (thankfully, you ''don't'' have to wait for the question to be completed before answering). Succeed and you win €100,000 plus the money you banked in the main game; if time expires, the contestant gets another 100 seconds to keep going for just €100,000 (the prize goes down by €1,000 every second). Once the cash countdown hits €50,000 (50 seconds, later reduced to €30,000/30 seconds), the contestant can [[PressXToNotDie stop the clock]] by breaking a [[RuleOfCool beam of light]]. When they do that, they get one last chance to finish the chain from the beginning, and if they fail (this includes by timing out on a question - the same two seconds until 2015, 10 seconds since then), they go home with nothing. It ''is'' indeed possible to win, but it's NintendoHard at that.

* CatchPhrase: Of sorts. "Non può più sbagliare!", often said by the host after a contestant's first incorrect answer during a regular round, means "You cannot make [another] mistake."

* GameShowHost: Paolo Bonolis on the original, well known as the host of the pioneering Italian version of ''Series/DealOrNoDeal''.

* SellOut: Starting from the 2020 season, a running gag for some questions is that Laurenti haves a desperate need for money and so he haves to do some questions while shilling things like a local online store that sells almost everything and a line of dolls for girls bearing his face. [[BadJobWorseUniform All while wearing embarassing costumes related to the thing he's shilling today]].

* BonusRound: It's so ridiculous that it makes the [[Series/{{Whew}} average]] [[Series/{{Blackout}} Jay Wolpert]] production look ''sane'' — you get 2 minutes and 30 seconds to answer 21 more A/B questions in a row ''[[NowDoItAgainBackwards incorrectly]]''. If you answer correctly or take too long to answer, you have to go right back to the beginning and start over (thankfully, you ''don't'' have to wait for the question to be completed before answering). Succeed and you win €100,000 plus the money you banked in the main game; if time expires, the contestant gets another 100 seconds to keep going for just €100,000 (the prize goes down by €1,000 every second). Once the cash countdown hits €50,000 (50 seconds, later reduced to €30,000/30 seconds), the contestant can [[PressXToNotDie stop the clock]] by breaking a [[RuleOfCool beam of light]]. When they do that, they get one last chance to finish the chain from the beginning, and if they fail, they go home with nothing. It ''is'' indeed possible to win, but it's NintendoHard at that.

* SuddenDeath: La Pariglia, if someone's in the champion's chair. (If it's empty, it plays as a zero.) One question; the winner gets or keeps the champion's chair, the loser's out of the game. Oh, by the way, a wrong answer is an auto-loss, and the current champ gets the advantage of winning if nobody rings in.
