The Golden Ball, a British game show is said to be able to show the conniving nature of humanity. In the last round of the show, the remaining two contestants face a face-off to win the jackpot money (lots of it). They are given two golden balls with either split or steal written on it. If both contestants choose split, the prize money would be split between them. If both choose steal, both go back with nothing. If one chose steal and the other chose split, the one who chose split will end up as the stupid fellow goes back empty-handed whilst the steal goes with the lion's share of the loot.
So the rush is for the contestant not to be the stupid fellow who is slouched in the chair disappointed! In the previous shows, even the girl-next-door goody two shoes looking blue eyed dumb looking blondes had taken their opponents for a ride and mean looking tattooed and moustachioed dudes had failed.
This guy, Nick had a final round face off with Ibrahim below. Nick's strategy was that he was adamant that he was to go for steal and see we played with emotions and managed to make everybody happy.

In the snippet, Ibrahim said that his father had told him not to trust anyone. The irony is that he grew up without a father. The money finally went for charity.
