The 5th episode of the reality show (on 12 August 2018) featured the former Bigg Boss contestants Snehan, Gayathri Raguram who were part of the first season of the Bigg Boss Tamil alongside Mamathi Chari who earlier participated in the second season of Bigg Boss Tamil before her eviction in the second week of the show also took part as contestants of the Divided game show.[4]
Format
A team of three complete strangers attempts to answer up to 14 questions as they will have to answer uniformly to one question asked by the host over the course of five rounds and accumulate as much money in a prize pot as possible. In the game, each question is either multiple-choice with one correct answer to be chosen from three options, or a list of three items to be placed in a specified order.[5]
The team has 100 seconds to arrive at a unanimous decision on each question, and the money at stake decreases by 1% for each second that elapses before they lock in their choice. A correct answer adds the remaining money to a prize pot, while an incorrect answer cuts the pot in 10%,20% and 30% to the consequent rounds. If the team misses a total of three questions, the game ends immediately and the team forfeits all winnings. The motive of the game begins when the prize money won by the contestants cannot be shared equally rather have to share themselves amicably.[6]
