I don't think Bob is to blame. Bob said in an interview that Trivia Trap was one of his least favorite shows because he didn't understand the concept of eliminating the wrong answers and leaving the right one. He said "If they KNOW the right answer, why not just pick the RIGHT one?"

Okay, well, it's not a particularly difficult concept to grok (and there is a world of difference from a gameplay standpoint; sure, Bill Cullen knows the answer, so he has no trouble cutting something, but does Jamie Farr?), so if he had difficulty understanding (and by extension, hosting) the show as a result, then I suggest he is absolutely part of the blame.
Really, the whole show was designed to capitalize on the success of Trivial Pursuit and get a show out there with the word "Trivia" in the title as soon as possible. It's slickly produced, sure, and I enjoy the production (and the theme remains one of my favorites), but the "Let's wrap a Q&A in a "Trivia" package and pretend it's something different!" always bugged me.
