A todo o nada

Not to be confused with Todo O Nada.

A todo o nada (Spanish: All or nothing) was an Argentine game show, created by the production company Endemol presented by Guido Kaczka. It was first aired by Telefe with the name "El último pasajero" (Spanish: The Last Passenger), from 2005 to 2009, and from 2011 by El Trece, first with the name "Bariló, a todo o nada" and the current name.

The show's format included participants of all ages, from children to the elderly, who played a wide range of games for numerous high-quality prizes. The show is no longer being produced; however some Latin American countries still broadcast reruns.

Original Show

Formerly 2 divisions of seniors from different high schools competed with each other to win a trip to the city of San Carlos de Bariloche, with a format similar to that of the show "Feliz domingo" (Happy Sunday in English). The schools were represented by red and blue teams. Originally, during the season El último pasajero, there was three teams. (Red, green, and blue, mirroring the likeness of the logo for the television channel Telefe.) However, in 2008, the team was eliminated.

The objective of the game was to add more team members on their trip bus. But they had to pass tests, win challenges, ask questions, take embarrassing clothing, and endure physical pain, such as cutting hair with fire, (by a specialist), among other challenges.

When a team managed to get all the passengers in the bus, (or at least one,) the last person outside, who was called the last passenger, was given charge of choosing two keys. Then a driver in the bus who had a microphone said if the key chosen was the right one to get the bus started. The first team to get the right key, and to get their bus started, was the one able to go on the trip. The program has had differing versions in different Latin American countries; in the Argentina version the buses are of the Tecnoporte brand, and was provided by the Ivecam company representative for Argentina.

In the summer of 2012, A Todo o Nada was allowed two hours and thirty minutes of screentime, but because of low ratings, was on the verge of being cancelled. Because of this, the producer changed the formatting of the program. Initially, the yellow and green teams were incorporated together, as well as the red and blue. The passengers also had to be evaluated by a jury when they completed challenges. However, that format didn't work either, so it was decided to make games that appealed to a wider audience, to win many different prizes, for example, "throw the glass on the LCD" and "Embark on a challenge for a trip worth 200,000 pesos", among others.

Also, there was a new section where a participant led an argument about a product with the driver.

As of 2013, the program has an average rating of 9.0, placing it in the top 10 of the most watched television programs daily.

End of Show

On November 28, 2014, the program aired its final episode. This was due to the premiere of a new show, which meant the return of Julian Weich to the screen, with the program "Mi mamá cocina mejor que la tuya" (Spanish: "My mother cooks better than yours"), as well as "El Mejor de la Cocina" (Spanish: "The Best of the Kitchen"). Both of these shows took up the television block that A todo a nada previously occupied. This block was from 6:45 PM to 8:00 PM on Fridays and Mondays. However, the program continued to be broadcast on Fridays at 9:15 pm with the name of "All or nothing: special Friday" until December 19, 2014.
