About the work
3 contestants of any age or social background are given the length of the show, say 30 minutes (minus the final five “premio time”) to walk a pre-determined route in the city of the show. Viewers at home are encouraged by the host to bet live via the show app on any of the 3 contestants they think will win, or want to win because they know one of the contestants. But they have to vote up to the last third of the show, after which voting is cut off. One viewer at home will win a cool prize put up by a show sponsor (a cool pricey watch, a designer coat, a washing machine), but viewers know that all proceeds from the show, after show costs are covered, go to the funding of the public TV broadcaster’s programming - and other cultural programs and educational entities for young artists (so bet as a “social good.”)
Show specifics: during each episode, the show tosses unexpected and amusing obstacles in the path of the contestants in an attempt to distract them and slow them their progress on their route. We never know what these obstacles will be or when they’ll come - like a comic who poses as a tourist and insistently asks the contestant where various monuments are, or a lady (actor) who pretends to fall and needs someone to call an ambulance or a taxi for her — all these things are meant, of course, to amuse the audience).
Contestants are also allowed 2 lifelines during this live show from friends and family if they´re getting lost, or over-distracted by obstacles, or blocked in their route by unexpected obstacles (a car crash, a street blocked off by police). So we can cut to a camera crew in the living room of the contestant´s “fan base” going bananas as they use mobile apps and the internet and try to reach their contestant with alternative route data. Whether they connect or not to the contestant – or whether the contestant can hear them with the street noise around them, or actually take the right alternative route proposed by their friends and family – is half the fun.
Cash Walk is meant to be somewhat like “Cash Cab” in the US and UK, or in Spain La Sexta´s 2013 “Taxi” which was previously on Andalusia´s Canal Sur with the same title.
