Wouldn't a better topic be the ones you WOULD want to be on? Hell, given a Fast Forward, I'd climb up on stage and shake Bob Barker's hand, or call out the numbers 1 to 26 in ascending order.

If I'm not mistaken, that has already been tackled.

Back to topic: one game show I would not like to be on would probably be Lingo. I got nothing against the show, and I enjoy it (for the game itself and the fact that I get laughs out of a lot of the morons on the show), but I'd be too tempted to scream and yell at my partner or opponent if they had a REALLY stupid answer.

Any show where I had to rely on a "team" to help me win money would be out for me.  If I lose, then I don't want to think, "He or she cost me money."  I want to lose on my own. lol

That being said, I know I'd get spanked on Jeopardy! so that's out.  Also, if we're also including show's from back in the day then Time Machine I would stay away from.  I'm so bad with dates that I'd last about 10 seconds.

I don't understand why we're discussing what shows we wouldn't want to be on.

Consider the source. Unsurprisingly, whenever Odor throws out one of these topics, it's always "what wouldn't you do", "what do you hate", "what needs to be improved." And you shouldn't be surprised.

And, for the sake of being different, why not?  I get sick of every game-show related thing being happyhappyhappy-espectially the current Family Feud.  I loved Weakest Link for that reason.

I'd say Everything Goes, simply because I don't think you'd wanna see me strip after losing, if you know what I mean...LOL

You can also add Fear Factor, no way would I put myself through that kinda psychological torture, even w/$1M at stake.

Your desire to "be different" is easily mistaken as a desire to be negative for the sake of being negative.  That might not be your intent, but particularly when coupled with your penchant for complaining in general, that's how it often comes across to others.

That's easy to answer.  Survivor, Amazing Race, Big Brother, Fear Factor, and others of that ilk.

[MTCesquire]

Upon reading the topic, the first show that came to mind was "Distraction", basically for the same reasons a lot of you don't want to be on "Fear Factor".

Also, "Shop 'Til You Drop" simply because I can't stand that show.

[FOXSportsFan]

The poster above me beat me to the punch!  Shop 'Til You Drop...one of the worst game shows a contestant could appear on...it's as if those who are on were found in the line of Craig Ferguson's show...and we all know those people were rejected from the Price ticket line so...

Due to the game play, rules, etc...what show or shows (please no more than 4 or 5) would you not want to be on?

Myself...I would not want to appear on shows such as Camouflage and Finder's Keepers--I've always sucked at that kind of thing.

Since I rarely do the shopping in my household (and when I do, my wife has to write out a list of what to get to help me), I would have to say TPIR here.

Can't be any worse than half the other college students in the audience. Just do what they do, bid: a) 420, b) something ending in 69, or c) one-up the previous guy by $1.

When you get on stage, crack a bunch of joke to piss Barker off, and bam! You got a comedy resume tape. ;-)

/Heh, I said 69.

I was unaware that "Greed" and "Friend or Foe?" penalized players for knowledge. "Greed" was the exact opposite, if you didn't know the answer, you got nothin', even if you had answered the previous seven questions correctly. And FoF didn't penalize anything but abject greed.
[/quote]
The Terminator on GREED was a bit of an equalizer, though.  If you showed you knew too much, you could conceivably get called out (and thus risking losing your share of the winnings by not being quick enough on the jump-in).

Doug about summed it up. On the Terminator, it was a 50/50 thing, either I continue playing or I don't, but it's a situation I wouldn't wanna be in to begin with. :-P

Agreed to that.  I was watching this past Tuesday's Fear Factor, with former "reality" stars, and one of the contestants looked traumatized after she couldn't complete a stunt.  To me, that show's just not worth the potential risks for the minimal payout.

That's easy to answer. Survivor, Amazing Race, Big Brother, Fear Factor, and others of that ilk.

That's where we disagree.  I'd love to be on Amazing Race.  I think it would be amazing

I've seen a and c, but not b.  I know that sounds like a multiple choice exam answer.

I thought of that particular incident from last night's Game Show Marathon when I read your posts.
