[quote name=\'jmangin\' post=\'241040\' date=\'May 18 2010, 01:50 PM\']I've never liked this tiebreaker format. It has nothing to do with the core format of predicting your spouse's response.[/quote] Sure it does. Essentially you're predicting how well the two of you will do. (yay meta!) and it was a damn sight better than what Love Buffet did. "Congratulations, Dora and Donald! Since you pulled the higher-numbered ping-pong ball out of the bowl, you're through to the bonus round!" What a pile of fail THAT was. Would I rather they play another question of some sort? Sure. But I understand why they went the way they did.
I always thought tiebreaker questions like "Before the show we asked your spouse what their waist size/dress size/etc. is...couple who comes closest blah blah blah" would be more applicable.
That sounds like it would be terribly uninteresting.

If you're going to be trashy and over-the-top, at least be honest and fun about it.[/quote]They certainly went in a welcome different direction. By golly, if I want to take out on the town a tall, pert, perky brunette who went to college, then I think I should be able to cut to the quick and say so, rather than having to wade through innuendo written by people fishing for laughs.
[quote name=\'Strikerz04\' post=\'241056\' date=\'May 18 2010, 04:19 PM\']I never liked the genre until I was out of high school (this is 2004 we're talking about), but
BZZZZ! was always enjoyable, not to mention unique.[/quote]The genre was certainly vicarious fun for me, and again, I liked that BZZZ! was able to turn the dating game concept around by showing the date-er his prospects before play began in earnest, as opposed to having to wait until the big reveal.
