Six People Locked in a Jury Room with $10k on the Table

KIIS 101.1 with Matt & Meshel have launched the 10 Grand Jury. Six people, locked in a jury room with $10,000 on the table; and all they need to do is reach a unanimous decision as to who gets the lot. The rest leave with nothing.

Matt & Meshel’s 10 Grand Jury launched Tuesday morning ON-Air along with a live Facebook stream to see how they behave and what tactics they use to convince everyone to award them the cash.

The six jurors are:

• Sharon – wants to create an educational platform to implement into primary schools to combat bullying.
• Summer – wants to pay off her university studies after being kicked out of home for coming out as a lesbian.
• Wendy – wants to travel home to the UK to see her dying father.
• Charlotte – wants to travel to Mexico to represent Australia in the world Triathlon games.
• Matthew – wants to buy a caravan to travel around Australia BUT says he will lie to win the cash, and has told the jury his home has just burnt down.
• Rodney – wants to spend the money on a dream wedding. His family have financially cut him off because he wants to marry a Muslim girl.

The six jurors are locked in a Melbourne hotel for 23 hours a day, and return to KIIS 101.1 for just one hour each morning to debate it out, plead their case, and reach a unanimous decision. That is the only interaction they have.
