Length

This seems like quite a big article for a show that ran for only four episodes... Ibroadfo 22:25, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Master shafter

I don't remember the show with complete clarity, but I'm pretty certain the entire bit about the "Master Shafter" is completely made up. I'm going to remove it anyway; it can always be put back if I'm wrong (though it seems far too stupid to be true - even in this show). --PaulTaylor 21:54, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I didn't expect to see it again, but the "Master Shafter" bit is back, albeit this time more believably attributed to the Australian version, which I haven't seen (for obvious reasons). Is it really true? It just sounds so daft. In either case, "...and were always shafting him or her first for being seen as a greedy, deceptive person" isn't really the right sort of tone and should probably be altered.--PaulTaylor 00:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Even if true, the language just isn't right for an encyclopedia article. 86.134.2.69 12:54, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other versions

There is a similar version of this game that is played in the netherlands and the usa.

Prisoner's Dilemma

I'm not so sure that "Share or Shaft" is as much a Prisoner's Dilemma as it is a game of Chicken. I would say that shareing would be like swerving and that shafting would be like continuing on straight ahead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goobie m (talk • contribs) 01:29, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Needs deleting

Not a single part of this article is correctly cited and the refernce given mentions two lines about the show: "More recently, Robert Kilroy Silk descended into TV mediocrity in 2001 as the host of Shafted, which revolved around whether two contestants could trust each other enough to share the proceeds of a jackpot." That is all it says. If I knew how I would tag it for speedy deletion. Zibart (talk) 19:15, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nature of incomplete questions.

From memory, I think the questions often had deliberately misleading openings. For example, with the opening part "Prince William...", after bets are placed it's revealed to be about Prince William Sound the place, not the royal. Words could even be split, "Which muscle..." being completed to a question about a "muscleman actor". I have no citation for this though, and it might have been a different show pulling the trick. 94.194.66.92 (talk) 09:59, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Winners"

In the Format section under "Winners" there seems to be truncated sentence that makes no sense: "UJ won the most money, thus being the most shafted, ........ " ?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.146.217.117 (talk) 19:05, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dropped after 4 episodes

I never watched it so not aware, why was it cancelled, viewing figures, mocking from the press etc.? Middle More Rider (talk) 18:08, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
