Giving away seconds and beefing up the delicious delicious product placement, just like every other minigame they do before Teh Big Sweep.

It was one of their little mini-games. IIRC, one person had to describe a common grocery item (not a brand name). There was another where one team member somehow spelled the word out for their teammate. It was as painful as it sounds.

there's thousands in vegas with plenty of people playing.
When was the last time you stood for an hour and watched someone else play a slot machine?

Considering I'm not 21 yet.......the last time I was in Vegas (June). :D Although to be fair I wasnt standing, I was walking around the casino since that's legal.

And yet, there are going to be people around here swearing up and down that it's a viable option until the day we die.

I've been a part of those discussions before, and while I won't accept that a Supermarket Sweep rip-off proves the point, I understand the potential problems. That's why I brought up a pair of strangers. Seeing them bond (if they played a series of games) would add to the fun. It does require broadcast time and a capable host to introduce them, though.

When Chris C. thought it family or friends could work, though, I perked up. It's just simpler. But I haven't seen when Clark's version actually tried it.

To me, anything beats grabbing whomever they can off CW sitcoms and third-tier cable channels and calling them celebrities.

I'm inclined to think not all seven subjects in a category will lend themselves to inside-family references. If they put up Mount Rushmore, what are the odds they'll say "It's where little Tommy lost his lunch"?

As much as I couldn't stand her talk show, I'd wish she'd go back to wearing those outrageous wigs.

Interesting. If I'm not mistaken, that's now a CW show, not syndicated. Whether or not they turn that back to affiliates is another question, considering it's not as if there's any CW shows lighting up the primetime charts.

It may be a CW show, but the article that I read says it's syndicated.

It is a CW show. The show left Syndication after last season.

Don't get your hopes up on that.  Broadcasting and Cable is reporting the show will continue next season in the same way Montel has: a "Best Of" package.

Did the Montel reruns fizzle out?  Shows you how much I keep up with things.
