I saw one episode of this. Six playings of Double Prices on a Price is Right episode would dwarf this garbage. People pushing buttons. Big yip. That's one reason why I detested "Jumble", "Shuffle" & "Boggle" on The Family Channel back in the early 90s. Those shows, the players just pressed buttons. No interaction with the host. It was just people pressing buttons basically. But even that had SOME play along factor, although not much.
Some days, more days now than ever before, and maybe this will sound like the typical middle-aged man syndrome speaking here, it seems true that less is more, at least where TV is concerned. So many channels, it has truly watered down any quality content, and shows like Price is Right that do have quality, get eroded away by more and more commercial time every season it would seem.
In that regard, I long for the old days. It seemed you really had to have a sensational or original idea to get put on the air. Now with 9 zillion channels of dreck to choose from, this is what we end up with. Just terrible. How much is enough? About 30 seconds of the program, that's how much is enough.
