Battle Royale: Tontine
safenoe5 November 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This is an intriguing episode of the final season of Diagnosis Murder. When the tontine scheme was mentioned by its lawyers and its surviving winner takes all, I was reminded by The Japanese movie Battle Royale (which was made over a decade before the US film The Hunger Games). I was also reminded by Rob "Survivor" Mariniao's attempt in 2007 to launch the reality show Tontine.

The twist is that the potential Tontine beneficiaries are murdered by someone outside the Tontine circle (which includes Jesse and Amanda).

The Tontine will theme was covered in The Wild Wild West episode "The Night of the Tottering Tontine".

Actress Chad Morgan plays a key role in this episode.

Who knows, maybe Rob Mariano can consider resurrecting the reality show Tontine.

It's a Battle Royale.

This episode is especially funny because it's a Battle Royale for the money. I think it is a very thrilling episode, and even though this is one of my first reviews I've written, I recommend this episode completely.
