This seems like quite a big article for a show that ran for only four episodes... Ibroadfo 22:25, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't remember the show with complete clarity, but I'm pretty certain the entire bit about the "Master Shafter" is completely made up. I'm going to remove it anyway; it can always be put back if I'm wrong (though it seems far too stupid to be true - even in this show). -- PaulTaylor 21:54, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
There is a similar version of this game that is played in the netherlands and the usa.
I'm not so sure that "Share or Shaft" is as much a Prisoner's Dilemma as it is a game of Chicken. I would say that shareing would be like swerving and that shafting would be like continuing on straight ahead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goobie m ( talk • contribs) 01:29, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
Not a single part of this article is correctly cited and the refernce given mentions two lines about the show: "More recently, Robert Kilroy Silk descended into TV mediocrity in 2001 as the host of Shafted, which revolved around whether two contestants could trust each other enough to share the proceeds of a jackpot." That is all it says. If I knew how I would tag it for speedy deletion. Zibart ( talk) 19:15, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
From memory, I think the questions often had deliberately misleading openings. For example, with the opening part "Prince William...", after bets are placed it's revealed to be about Prince William Sound the place, not the royal. Words could even be split, "Which muscle..." being completed to a question about a "muscleman actor". I have no citation for this though, and it might have been a different show pulling the trick. 94.194.66.92 ( talk) 09:59, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
In the Format section under "Winners" there seems to be truncated sentence that makes no sense: "UJ won the most money, thus being the most shafted, ........ " ?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.146.217.117 ( talk) 19:05, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
I never watched it so not aware, why was it cancelled, viewing figures, mocking from the press etc.? Middle More Rider ( talk) 18:08, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
