My wife, who was once invited to join Mensa, loves this show. But I don't get it. What quiz show allows a winner to only get about 70% of the questions correct and still wins? Ridiculous. Example: "What is the 4th largest city in the USA?" Answer? Rattle off all the large cities you can think of, as fast as you can in 10-seconds, and you are good to go. What kind of interesting game is this, where you can shotgun answers to get a hit? As for the challenger, he/she is completely powerless in most cases. It's not a matter of the challenger beating the reigning contestant. It's more about the reigning contestant undoing him/herself. The only power the challenger has is to choose a weak category in the XX situation. So, instead of stronger contestants surviving the contest with each round getting better and better, it's all about nothing.
And, if I hear the host, Richard Quest, ask what happens if you get three X'es one more time well, even my wife rolls her eyes on that.
In closings, for me this show is about keeping the peace. I'd much rather go outside and scrub dirt off the driveway. In the end, I have to settle for a bitten lip.
