Story and premise

Susan Calman hosts the quiz show where being in control is everything. Who will emerge as the Boss and walk away with the cash? Only the strongest players will survive the game.

In each episode, one contestant becomes The Boss and must decide which of the other five is best suited to answer a mixture of questions, identifying each's strengths and weaknesses.
