Ruck Zuck (game show)
Ruck Zuck is the German version of the short-lived U.S. game show Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak. It premiered on January 11, 1988, and ended on October 20, 2000 and four years later it came back to Tele 5 on October 25, 2004 and ended on June 3, 2005. Like its American counterpart, the series was packaged by Reg Grundy's Worldwide television empire. During its 1988-2000 and 2004-2005 run, Tele 5, RTL II and tm3 in its original incarnation, ran the show.
Over time, the show had three hosts: Werner Schulze-Erdel (1988-1991), Jochen Bendel (1991-2000, 2004-2005) and Matthias Euler-Rolle (2005), while Désirée Nosbusch hosted a short-lived kids version of Ruck Zuck on Tele 5 called Kinder Ruck Zuck in 1992.
Rules
The game is played the same as its short-lived U.S. counterpart. Two teams of five players each, men vs. women competed. The leader of the team (which changes after every round), is given a choice of two words to choose from. The other team gets the unchosen word. The remaining players are wearing headphones that have music piped in them so they cannot hear what's going on. The object of the game is to describe the word to the next person in line, and then to the next person and so on. However, if at any time, a player describing the word, repeats a keyword or phrase that was already used to describe the word, their half of the round stops, and the scoring ends. For each successful transaction, the team scores points. The round lasts for 40 seconds.
