Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Temptation is an Australian Game Show that aired on the Nine Network from 2005 to 2009. It was a reboot of the Australian version of Sale of the Century, which had originally been cancelled in 2001.Its gameplay was relatively similar to the original, consisting of three contestants answering trivia questions on the buzzer to earn cash. While features such as the Fame Game questions (now known as "Famous Faces" because the spaces on the board were identified by photos of celebrities) and the Gift Shop (a.k.a. Instant Bargains) were present, there were a few new twists, including the Famous Faces board also containing Lifelines allowing you to steal money from another opponent, lock an opponent out from the next three questions, or have the next three questions worth double if you answer them correctly, each round now ending with a Speed Round (the first three being 20 seconds, and the last being the traditional 60-second speed round from classic Sale), and a brand new endgame for the daily winner.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The champion first played "Top Ten" — a 60-second speed round with 10 questions — for a chance to add $50,000 to a cash jackpot, which started at $50,000 and could go as high as $900,000. The champion was then offered a prize, and given a choice to either take the prize and leave the show, or resist temptation and risk it for a bigger prize by returning on the next episode. If they won six games in a row, the champion received all five prizes from the previous episodes. Winning a seventh game in a row awarded all five prizes, and the cash jackpot (the equivalent to "the Lot" of classic Sale), while winning one last time doubled the jackpot. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Temptation (2007) / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The pitchfilm, distributed to stations in 2006-07. While showing clips of the two pilots, taped in 2006 on the Aussie Temptation set, the pitchfilm didn't show any of the minigames that made it to the actual show and was almost entirely focused on the shopping aspect. It also tried to use the popularity of the Aussie version as incentive, with one of those clips showing the legit Fame Game. Also somewhat applies to debut promos sent out in 2007, since they also used clips of the pilots (though in fairness, there's instances dating back to at least 1972 of the genre doing that). They were trustworthy in showing Knock-Off and the watered-down Fame Game, albeit with flashier graphics because those clips were from the pilots as well. | |

Celebrity Edition | |
| Temptation (2007) / int_3a4f1e40 | comment |
Celebrity Edition: Two preview episodes aired on September 5, 2007 with former American Idol finalists competing for charity. The Nielsen rating, 0.8, was the highest the series ever got. The preview episodes aired on MyNetworkTV, and many of the stations which didn't have the show in their own local schedules didn't bother with any network advertising of the preview. | |

Progressive Jackpot | |
| Temptation (2007) / int_47696b0 | comment |
Progressive Jackpot: Instant Cash, which allowed the leading player to spend their lead for a 1-in-3 shot at a mini-cash jackpot. The top prize began at $500 and increased by that amount per show until won (or reached $5,000, at which point it inexplicably froze); the consolation prize was $100. | |

Early Installment Weirdness: The first taped week, aired March 3-7, 2008, had the either/or Speed Round played after the Fame Game and a second Fame Game for $25 done right before Instant Cash. | |

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp" | |
| Temptation (2007) / int_5ac34441 | comment |
Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": The U.S. version frequently referred to its score and spending money as "Temptation dollars". | |

The Announcer: Rolonda Watts, who never appeared on-camera (unlike Jay Stewart in the 1980s, who sometimes helped model prizes and even filled in as co-host) and may have never been in the studio. | |

Game Show Winnings Cap | |
| Temptation (2007) / int_b1fbb55b | comment |
Game Show Winnings Cap: Five games was the limit for returning champs; winning your fifth game meant you had to buy a prize and retire. Not so bad if you won enough Temptation dollars for the top prize on your final day, but if you didn't... | |

Undesirable Prize | |
| Temptation (2007) / int_c6c73b3b | comment |
Undesirable Prize: Rather than the vacations, household appliances, furniture, etc. of other versions, Temptation mostly offered designer women's clothing, perfume, jewelry, etc. - prizes which not many male contestants want (well, unless...). One of the largest offenders was a prize package which included backstage passes to a Chippendales show; luckily, the contestant it was offered to was female. Gender-neutral prizes, such as Wii gaming packages and trips to Washington D.C., did appear, but they were few and far between outside the bonus game. | |

Consolation Prize | |
| Temptation (2007) / int_f870d50 | comment |
Consolation Prize: Those who didn't win any Instant Cash or Instant Bargains appeared to get exactly nothing (not even their final score in cash) except "lots of love" from Rossi. Even the former Idol finalists competing for charity didn't seem to have a minimum donation stated on-air, even in fine print during the credits. Think about that for a second. | |

Cut Short: The Grand Finale, which was also the last repeat aired in single-run markets, had the champion opting to return "next time". It's not known if there was any resolution, given the show's cancellation didn't come until well after taping wrapped. | |
