Before entering the Chamber, the contestant was offered a $500 buyout to leave the game, which nobody took. To begin, the contestant was strapped into a chair, arms raised over the head. Electrodes, muscle contractors and medical equipment were attached to the player before entering. During the pre-game setup, a computer would choose whether the contestant would play against the "hot" or "cold" chamber.
Just before the player is sent into the chamber, he or she must sign a release form stating that he/she is willing to play the game on his/her own free will, clearly understanding the torture of the chamber. This was likely for dramatic effect, as contestants on any game show must sign forms and contracts before even setting foot in the studio.

The contestant would answer as many questions as possible while trying to remain focused around the distractions and pain caused from the chamber. The game would end if the contestant could survive for seven minutes in the harsh environment. If the winner could also manage to answer 25 questions correctly, the total winnings would be tripled. Additionally, that environment would be retired, and something new created.
No one ever won the grand prize of $100,000 by answering 25 questions correctly. One contestant, Scott Brown, managed to survive all seven levels in the 'cold' chamber, and finished with $20,000--more than any other contestant on the show--by getting 20 correct answers. However, after his game, he was hospitalized for hypothermia and sued FOX and the producers of the show. The lawsuit was settled out of court, and Brown was awarded an additional $100,000 for compensation.
During the first episode, a controversy occurred on one of the questions, the answer to which was John Glenn. Christina Garner initially said "Glenn", then began debating aloud, "Glenn somebody...somebody Glenn" before offering the answer "Glenn Armstrong." In her post-game interview, she claimed she thought Glenn was a sufficient enough answer (many game shows have accepted just the last name), but when she didn't get a response, she gave a different answer. Since this was a second consecutive miss, her winnings were halved and she left with $10,000.
Is a huge gamer, she was known to have gone on a great deal of game shows like Password and was known to throw games at her house parties like mysteries game and others with friends like Vicki Lawrence, Tim Conway and Betty White.
In 2001, Warner faced criminal and civil charges brought by Joshua Keasler, an Ozzfest security guard who accused Warner of grinding his crotch against him at a Detroit show. The lawsuit was settled out of court, and Warner ended up pleading no contest to disorderly conduct after a sexual-assault charge was dropped.
Consider, by contrast, another California "right of publicity" case, White v. Samsung Int'l. There, Wheel of Fortune's famous letter-turner, Vanna White challenged a commercial showing a robot turning letters on a game show as a violation of her "right to publicity," on the ground that it employed her "likeness" without her consent. White won in part because the robot was obviously meant to refer to, and only to her. Indeed, that was the joke: If viewers did not identify the robot as a representation of Vanna White, the commercial failed to make its point.
"He's gone through hell," Popovich said pregame. "I'm sure most people don't really know, and I'll leave that to him to describe as much as he wants to describe. But it's been very difficult for him. He's shown a lot of courage getting through what he's gone through."
"It's got nothing to do with the Democrats losing the election. It's got to do with the way one individual conducts himself and that's embarrassing," the coach said. "It's dangerous to our institutions and what we all stand for and what we expect the country to be, but for this individual he's in a game show. And everything that happens begins and ends with him, not with our people or our country. Every time he talks about those things that's just a ruse. That's just disingenuous, cynical and fake." 2ff7e9595c
