Avanti un Altro! is an Italian Game Show that seems relatively simple at first glance. In a normal round, a contestant is asked four questions with two options each from a category. If the contestant can answer three out of the four correctly, they get to pick a scroll from a carousel, which contains various denominations of cash 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.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 Bonus Round to win more money. However, there are a few special scrolls in the mix as well, including "Lo Iettatore" (the Jinx)—where the contestant 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 "Avanti un Altro!"—which simply eliminates the contestant instantly.The seemingly simple premise is also taken to Jay Wolpert-levels of complexity and craziness by having a cast of recurring characters that host special categories, making the show feel more like a Variety Show mixed with a normal game show: one round may be normal, but the next might involve identifying a movie scene performed in Chinese, having to play "Will it Float?" with the Mad German Scientist, or so on. These characters also serve as a Bonus Space: one character gives a free message and doubles whatever is won in that round, and the other characters allow the contestant to switch out their chosen scroll for another (hopefully of higher value) if they get their bonus question right.An article on Bother's Bar also has a good summary of the format based on various early episodes; the original Italian version has aired since 2011, with its first series airing as Avanti il Primo for Loophole Abuse surrounding viewership calculations (according to the aforementioned article, this is often done in Italy so the first series can be insisted as being a separate show if its ratings aren't as high as those of later episodes). The format has been sold under the name Next One to a handful of other countries, with other notably long-running versions including the French-Canadian version Au suivant! | |

The Artifact | |
| Next One / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: Manga Girl has the Italian theme song for Sailor Moon as her introduction theme. This made sense in her first appearances as she always dressed as Sailor Venus, but later she started to wear costumes of other characters (including non-Japanese ones such as Catwoman, Red Sonja and Spider-Girl), so the music choice is not as fitting as it was early on. | |

All or Nothing | |
| Next One / int_2319aa2e | comment |
All or Nothing: The chance of getting less than three questions correct/missing a Random Encounter character's bonus question or picking a Whammy scroll add risk to the ordeal on every single round. Not only that, but even the night's winner can go home empty-handed if they lose the Bonus Round (and nine times out of ten, they do). | |

Golden Snitch | |
| Next One / int_5fcb3c79 | comment |
Golden Snitch: Success with a question from Il Fato Benevolo/La Bona Sorte rockets your score straight to €300,000, which is almost unassailable - pretty much the only things that can help your opponents, especially late in the game, are La Pariglia and €150,000 with Mr. or Ms. Bonus. The catch is that Il Fato Benevolo/La Bona Sorte's questions are by far the hardest in the show, right on par with Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'s late-game questions. | |

Translated Cover Version: A staple since the early days of the show is a question where the contestant must recognize a song after hearing it sung in Chinese or Japanese (initially there were two Chinese men doing the cover, later one of them was replaced with a Japanese woman. Nowadays only the woman is present). | |

| Next One / int_bad20f4e | comment |
Whammy: Both the Lo Iettatore and Avanti un Altro scrolls; only the former offers a chance to stay in the game, however. In addition, having a second selection as a result of a successful Random Encounter won't help you here. As a small consolation, successfully answering a Lo Iettatore question is treated as success with one of these aforementioned Random Encounters, with a selection of a scroll, and the option to reject the first scroll and choose another one. The 2019 edition adds the Cambio! scroll: when it comes out the host chooses a person from the audience to answer in lieu of the contestant for the next bunch of questions. | |

Sell-Out: Starting from the 2020 season, a running gag for some questions is that Laurenti haves a desperate need for money and so he has 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. All while wearing embarrassing costumes related to the thing he's shilling today. | |

Bonus Round | |
| Next One / int_d3435454 | comment |
Bonus Round: 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 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 stop the clock by breaking a 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. | |

Bonus Space | |
| Next One / int_d35193cc | comment |
Bonus Space: The aforementioned Random Encounter mechanic above. In fact, the aforementioned massage girl is actually named Ms. Bonus. There's a Mr. Bonus, too. The 2015 season added a male character known as the "Good Fairy" ("Il Fato Benevolo" in Italian; later changed to a female character and renamed to "La Bona Sorte," or "Good Luck."). Similar to Lo Iettatore, he/she only appears when the associated scroll is chosen from the table, and correctly answering the (extremely difficult) attached question boosts the contestant's score to €300,000. Unlike his/her curse-bearing counterpart, however, there is no penalty associated with selecting him/her or missing the question. The 2018 season changed the way most of the bonus characters work: while Mr./Ms. Bonus keep appearing randomly and Lo Iettatore and La Bona Sorte are still summoned via their scrolls, a set of 6 characters (one of them, Miss Claudia, is always there, while the other 5 are random in each episode) stay in a Living Room spot on the side of the main stage, allowing the contestants to choose which character they want when it's time for one of them. | |
