In a game show set with colors and lightings similar to those on The Weakest Link, an adult male Dalmatian in a black suit stands between two podiums, each with a touch screen on it. The Dalmatian has solid, black ears, a thick, brown mustache, and a muscular build.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen," he said, facing the camera. "We have six contestants tonight, and they will go through a test of greed, knowledge, and trust. But only two of them will advance here to the endgame, where they will each make an individual decision on what to do with tonight's cash prize. Will they share or shaft? We'll find out as we play Shafted."
The audience applauded as the Dalmatian walked across the set to his podium, and the theme music played as the logo for the show, Shafted appeared. Once the Dalmatian is standing behind his podium, the logo is removed, and the audience ceased their applause.
"Thank you," said the Dalmatian. "Welcome to Shafted. I'm Pasquale Fettuccine, and a whole ton of money can be won tonight if our two finalists can trust each other and make the right decisions. Let's meet tonight's six contestants."
Pasquale then faced the contestant area, where six contestants are each standing behind their podium. This is now where the six contestants introduce themselves.

The audience applauded after Penny, Melanie, Pepper, Jarrod, Freckles, and Raine all introduced themselves.
"Welcome to the game," Pasquale said to the contestants. "The welcome, however, will be too short here for one of you, because one of you will be out of the show before we can get to the first question round. I'm going to start each of you off with $25,000 in real American money."
The amount of $25,000 is displayed on the monitor at the front of each contestant's podium.
"The first part of this game is a test of greed," Pasquale said to the contestants. "In an increment of $1,000, each of you must lock in how much money you would like out of $25,000 should that much money be offered to you. After each of you has locked in an amount, whoever locks in with the highest amount in the fastest time will be shafted off the show. Lock in your bids."

"Well, this is interesting," Pasquale said after seeing how much money each contestant had locked in. "Each of you, except Jarrod, has bid $4,000. Jarrod has bid $5,000. That means that we have to say goodbye to Jarrod."
The audience let out an "Aawww" at this.
"I'm sorry, Jarrod," said Pasquale. "You're the first person to be off the show."

The audience cheered and applauded at Jarrod's final words, but Pasquale silently shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Jarrod," Pasquale said finally, "but there are no consolation prizes in this show. Goodbye."
The show's logo then flashed, and Jarrod was gone.
"We've gone through a test of greed," said Pasquale. "And now, we're going to go through a test of knowledge. There are three question rounds, each one with as many questions as there are remaining contestants. There are five of you left, so a series of five questions will be asked. Like before, we'll start each of you off with $25,000. I will read only the first part of a question, and in an increment of $1,000, each of you must lock in how much money you want to wager. Whoever locks in with the highest wager in the fastest time must answer the question after it has been read in its entirety. A right answer will add your wager to your total, while a wrong answer will deduct your wager from your total. At the end of each question round, the contestant in the lead will get to choose whom to shaft out of the game. Let's play Shafted."
A music cue was played while the lights on the set lit up in a specific symmetrical pattern.
"The flag of what Asian country...?" Pasquale read from a card as the same words appear for the home viewers. "The flag of what Asian country...? Lock in your wagers."

"And there we go again," Pasquale said after seeing the contestants' wagers. "One of you has locked in with $5,000, while the rest locked in with $4,000 apiece. Freckles, you're the one who locked in with $5,000, so you must answer this question."
The rest of the question appears for the home viewers as Pasquale reads the entire question from his card.
"The flag of what Asian country depicts the Ashoka Chakra in the center stripe?" he asked.

"India is the correct answer," Pasquale said to Freckles. "That takes your total to $30,000. Here's the next question."
The first part of the next question appears for the home viewers as Pasquale reads it aloud from his card.
"What type of vegetable...?" he asked. "What type of vegetable...? Lock in your wagers."

"Now, the wagers are all different," Pasquale said after seeing the contestants' wagers. "This time, Freckles has wagered $3,000, Pepper and Raine each has wagered $4,000, Melanie has wagered $6,000, and Penny has wagered $8,000. Penny, you have the highest wager, so you will have to answer this question."
The rest of the question appears for the home viewers as Pasquale reads the entire question from his card.
"What type of vegetable is stated in an urban legend that eating large quantities of it will allow one to see in the dark?" he asked.

"Carrot is the right answer," Pasquale said to Penny. "That takes your total to $33,000. On to the next question."
The first part of the next question appears for the home viewers as Pasquale reads it aloud from his card.
"In which board game...?" he asked. "In which board game...? Lock in your wagers."
