The Better Sex TV game show was produced by Reg Grundy Organisation and broadcast in Australia in 1978 on the Nine Network, hosted by Mike Preston and Ann Sidney.
The show was based on a US program, where men competed against women in a 'battle of the sexes' format.
Six men vs. six women (seven men vs. seven women in the pilots) faced-off against each other in a game of bluffs & surveys. The object of the game was to fool the opposing sex/team and eliminating them.
One member of the team with six people in control was in, what they call, "the attack position". He/she was asked a question after which he/she was given a card which contained the correct answer & a bluff. The player must then decide which answer to use to fool the other team. Then up to three members of the opposing team decided to either agree or disagree on the given answer. As soon as two of the team members went with the same judgment, the correct answer was revealed. If the two opposing team members were wrong, they were fooled and they were knocked out of the game; if the two opposing team members were right, they stayed in the game and the attacking player was knocked out along with another player of the opposing team's choice; upon the latter, the opposing team then took control.
When a team was down to two players and could not agree whether an answer was correct or a bluff, the second player was given a chance to convince the first that he or she was correct. If they still disagreed with each other, the answer given by the first of the two players was taken.
The first team to knock out the other team won the game and went to the bonus game playing against the audience of the opposite sex. Teams remained on the show until their second loss.
The winning team faced 30 studio audience members of the opposite sex. Each team member had only one chance to knock out as many audience members as he/she can. They were each asked a question after which they were given a card with the correct answer only. If they wished to use it, fine, but if they don't, they can make up a bluff answer. After a player gave an answer, the audience members voted to either agree or disagree on the answer using their electronic sticks. After that, the correct answer was revealed and the audience members who voted wrong were eliminated and sat back down. Audience members who did not vote were automatically eliminated. After six questions, if there were any audience members left standing, the winning team lost the bonus game and each surviving audience member earned $50, but if all 30 audience members were eliminated in six questions or fewer, the winning team won $1,500 in prizes.
