MORE OR LESS MISERABLE

They say that one person’s misfortune causes another person’s happiness. That is the premise of this humorous game. Here we asked human behavior specialists to watch videos to learn about stories from around the world and rate them according to various criteria. Every week, two teams, consisting of a personality (including Jean-François Mercier, Korine Côté, Varda Étienne or Marie-Lyne Joncas) and a participant, have to predict the number of points awarded. The best predictions pay off the most. Eve Côté is responsible for moderation.
