History Trivia / MinuteToWinIt

* DuelingShows: Primarily with ''Series/TheCube'', a British stunt-based game show which uses CameraTricks and the added complexity of performing the tasks inside an enclosed space (i.e. the titular Cube, four meters in length on all sides) as its main gimmick. At the time, the format was being shopped around to CBS and Fox (the former with Neil Patrick Harris hosting). It was even speculated by some that ''Minute'' was intended to be a frugal variant of ''The Cube'' in the first place, but started to evolve into something closer to ''Series/BeatTheClock'' meets ''Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire'' later in development.

* ObviousRulePatch: When Rachel Adams made a bubble out of a bubble and barely got it in time during Mega Bubble, the producers saw how this could cause a major issue with their judgements when deciding whether she made or it or not. After this, a rule was added where the bubble must remain '''whole as it passes through the hoop'''.

** Ironically, [=ITV2=], a sister channel of the British channel which airs ''The Cube'' in the first place, actually ended up producing a British version of ''Minute''. However, they did significant changes to the gameplay (which among other things, changed it to use a team format), so much so that some actually thought it was ''better'' than the original!

** It's also somewhat ironic then that the [[ForeignRemake Spanish adaptations]] of ''The Cube'' and ''Minute to Win It'' were aired by the same channel, Cuatro.
