Hopes for The Cube USA Contiinue to Roll

Not unless Guy has lost both his goatee and 50 pounds.

And even then, not so much.

[Mr. Bill]

CBS will premiere Minute to Win It on March 14... The show is based on a successful British show called The Cube, which places contestants in a chamber designed to induce stress where they're challenged to complete tasks for money.

Not to mention they even got the network wrong!

My observation from viewing the "Minute to Win It" promo is that yes, some of the games will be on a par with those used by "The Cube".  For example, trying to throw water bottles (which I assume are full) from a distance, with the goal of making at least two land in a standing position on a table.

YMMV.

Buzzerblog believes that the show is a go.....nothing official yet however..

Looks like the show might be a go for series, according to this post at Buzzerblog:

This new notice says it’s a, “New studio game show for CBS where contestants have to do seemingly simple tasks in a pressure-cooker environment. Come test your skills to travel and a chance to win cash prizes!!”  To further the argument it also states, “All you need is nerves of steel and determination. NO physical fitness or general knowledge is needed.” ...  Adding to it the email address to apply is, “cbsgameshowuk@gmail.com” and what other CBS game show, either being looked at now or that recently shot a pilot, tapes in London?  None except The Cube.

And here's the Craigslist casting call:

Edit: Ha, looks like weaklink75 and I both had the same thought at the same time.

Yeah- just got home and saw it. It's a good move doing the filming in London actually-probably less expensive getting the contestants and family to travel there than to build a set for the first set of shows at least..

I wonder if NPH's Twitter will have something in the next few days? He seems to be a good fit, and respects the genre...
