Musiek Roulette is a South African music and variety game show created by Stemmburg Television as a running mate for their long-running game show Noot vir Noot and hosted by the pop singer Nádine, in which pre-auditioned contestants answer questions based on medleys sung by guest artists, betting a pre-determined amount of money on the answers they give.
Each week three pre-auditioned contestants are selected from the audience and qualify to participate in the roulette round of games by singing a section of a specific song as soon as the intro is heard.
The contestants are put to a test as they answer questions based on the content of medleys which are sung by various artists during the show. They are offered a kick-off amount of R3,000 with which to play the game.
Each contestant decides individually how much money they want to risk on a specific question or task before it is revealed. In every bet, the contestants double or forfeit the amount they bet in a task.
Contestants who participate in the show are sourced from around the country. Details of the auditions are advertised during Noot vir Noot and interested viewers respond with the details of where would be most convenient for them to attend an audition.
Contestants are selected not only by what they know, but also based on their personalities. Bubbly personalities are always given priority. Successful candidates are then informed and the necessary transport and travel arrangements are made prior to recording.
Season 5 featured a brand new format and a complete change to the structure of the show. This season, 15 contestants compete weekly for a grand prize at the end of the season. Each week one is eliminated until the last person is left standing to win it all.
Each episode of Musiek Roulette features three well-known and upcoming guest artists as they each sing a medley consisting of four songs. The artists featured include Kurt Darren, Katlego Maboe, Eloise Cupido, Jennifer Jones and Elizma Theron.
Musiek Roulette is based on an original concept by Johan Stemmet and is produced by Mellow Yellow Entertainment.
