I have watched a lot of game shows over the years, and this has to be the worst of the bunch. The host is boring; the premise panders to the lowest tastes in American citizens, possibly even lower than the audience for Jerry Springer, if a show can go that low. The show uses the technique which so many game shows use today.....they telegraph the answers coming up in the commercials, presumably so you won't, God forbid, change channels. Frequently the answers being telegraphed are wrong, so they can say "Gotcha" and make you sit through the endless pauses which I'm sure the producers learned in film school would ensure "drama." This program is relentlessly boring, and if it were possible to give it a zero on the rating scale, I would do so. You would think the geniuses who conceive these horrible shows would take a look at the true action and drama on game shows which have withstood the test of time. Look at "Jeopardy" which makes the contestants face 61 questions in 30 minutes, and which never give a contestant a multiple-choice question. And, Jeopardy is a clean show, you will never have to explain to your 9-year-old why the man/woman is so upset over the questions asked. This program was conceived and panders to our base natures of greed, corruption and venality, it will not last, it will join the scrap heap of past failed ventures, and the sooner, the better.
