comment
A British reality game show filmed and first broadcast in March 2023.Filmed in the centre of London, The show's contestants are split into two teams of "Rulers" and "Grafters", to try and get the prize money to a maximum of £100,000. The Rulers live in a luxurious penthouse apartment, whilst the Grafters are stuck in a gloomy basement.The Rulers direct the Grafters to work to increase the prize fund through 'work shifts' - little tasks designed to get money for the prize fund - and 'overtime', where pairs of Grafters compete to see if they can reach the quota set by a ruler managing them. Occasionally, there may be other twists, such as the Grafters being able to give feedback to the Rulers, or being allowed to request an item to keep them occupied in the basement.The main vehicle of the series is a golden lift, through which contestants go up and down as the representative of social mobility. Every night, the climax of the episode alternates between a 'Ruler Vote', in which the Rulers vote amongst themselves for who will leave (the latest Ruler to join has the casting vote); and a 'Rise Vote', where the Grafters vote for two or three of their own to go to join the Rulers, of whom the Rulers will reject one - yet, in classic reality show fashion, this is also subject to change in various episodes.

Bad Impressionists: Subverted - Connor's Alan Carr impersonation isn't actually too bad. (Although the Eddy one might need a bit of work.)

Voted Off the Island: Variation. Either your fellow Rulers vote you out, or occasionally the new Grafter(s) vote you out.

Character Development: Many of the original Rulers find themselves better grafting than ruling. Connor and Ramona are good examples of this, as well as Matt.

Earned Stripes: The Rulers, including former Grafters, wear fancy suits, whilst the Grafters wear dull clothing. A big show is also made of Rulers getting a 'ruler badge'.

Non-Gameplay Elimination
 Rise and Fall / int_832c1497
comment
Non-Gameplay Elimination: A few of these: Ali walks away when he finds out he isn't a Ruler. Connor walked out in Episode 13 in protest at the deadlock costing the team almost a third of what the team had earnt. Joanna left the basement on medical advice after a few of the tasks. Joas was expelled from the basement after pouring water on Sophie.

Tall Poppy Syndrome: Jeff certainly makes himself stand out, but the Rulers have as little respect for him as do the Grafters, and he ends up leaving the show at the same time as James, when the Rulers disagreed on which to save.

Respected by the Respected: Eddy. A very good Grafter who becomes less popular with the Grafters as a Ruler. He wins the prize fund.

Moral Luck: The Overtime tasks, where the Rulers set a quota for the Grafters to complete. Either the Ruler went safe, in which case it can be particularly underwhelming; or they go too high, where the result is non-completion.
