If I had piercings and tattoos up my wazoo, I would never be able to sit down.

But the metal detector checks would be entertaining.

ObCBSTalker: Is what it is; will have to see how it does to pass judgment and understand it's a counter-programming move by the Eye.

I agree with you to a point, considering it felt like every game ended in a 21-20 or 20-19 decision.

But, it moves at a very quick pace and has some compelling factors (7-11, Mystery 7, $5000 tiebreaker), so it isn't THAT dull.

I thought he was talking about Pay the Rent, and was going to do the whole "But you haven't seen it yet!" thing, but that makes more sense.

I prefer the '80s versions of 25K for this reason. All of the bells and whistles, nearly the same level of game play, but less pressure to do well in the WC. Plus, hearing the time to beat for the tournament repeated umpteen times a show got old fast.

And on ChrisC's question: I think it depends on where you set the bar. Better than Donnymid but not up to Stewart's level? Fine. Donnymid as actually executed? Not fine.

I agree. I don't think anybody loafs during the Winners' Circle anyway, so I'd have preferred it if Dick rarely mentioned it, maybe after the commercial after a particularly fast round.

I've never really liked the front game anyway, so I think they could de-emphasize it to the point of a fastest-finger question. Maybe it's one round a piece, ten items, timed like the tie-breaker. Or one 60-second round, you get one pass, and there are, say, 15 items to describe. Then get to big pyramid.

If the Chenbot is as manipulative and devious as many seem to think, maybe one of these days we'll be treated to a recorded phone call where Les goes Mel Gibson on her........

That sums up what I enjoyed about the $25K version. They made a big deal about total winnings than they $100K.
