The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, October 27, 2023 20 By Caroline Collacutt TV Media The wishing wall: The wall giveth, and the wall taketh away. Count your lucky stars (or balls), as all-new episodes of the high-risk, high-reward game show "The Wall" pre- miere, starting Friday, Nov. 3, on NBC. While it may be fun to watch from the couch, the in- famous wall is much taller — and trickier — when your fate is in its hands. Players come from across the nation hoping to conquer it, but time and time again find that there is no way to control the randomness of a dropping ball. "The rules are simple," NBC describes. "Get a ques- tion correct and a green ball will fall down the wall and add the value of the slot to the players' winning total. Miss a question and an omi- nous red ball will fall and de- duct the value from the teams' total. Teammates have to work together to build a huge cash prize." They continue: "However, the towering wall is not easi- ly conquered. Wildly unpre- dictable, the wall is capable of millions of different out- comes. As the game pro- gresses, the stakes get even higher when one player is sent into an isolation room behind the wall. It is here where the pairs' faith in each other will be tested as they play the remainder of the game without any communi- cation." Needless to say, skill can only take you so far. Players make it to the wall and brave that fate- ful drop, but once they do, any chance of winning is no longer in their hands. The wall has the final say. But be careful: with more risk comes more reward, and even more chances to lose. "Every question and every decision could make the dif- ference of millions of dollars on what is truly the most un- predictable show on televi- sion," NBC says.
