- $1,000 for picking the Secret Square.
I guess I'm not too impressed with this aspect of things.  Winning two games is the equivalent of answering one question right and perhaps forcing a tie?
1) I didn't see anything about the Secret Square going toward "main game" winnings.

2) We're dealing with basic cable, they're not going to have game three for $4,000.

I suspect it isn't "score money". And even if it is, you're taking all of this way too seriously.

Machine Gun Kelly really has become nationally known.  And I thought only teenagers in Cleveland know who he is.
Pardon my ignorance, but is this the same guy who was the Wheel of Fortune announcer for about five minutes?

Here's a larger photo from another account. Very sleek. I like it.
I hope those cones and tape are there so people don't step on the fresh logo.

Oh...that one guy already is. Well, I hope they aren't apart of the set.

I hope they've been given a decent budget for prizes.

Not huge, but not the worst:


- $500 for winning the first round.
- $500 for winning the second round.
- $1,000 for picking the Secret Square.
- $2,500 for winning the bonus round.

What bonus round are they using?

Now see, when I think of Machine Gun Kelly, I think of this guy, even though he has another nickname.

I taped my episode yesterday, and I'm under contractual lock-and-key. I will say this, though:

They did it right. Extremely right. I was super-impressed with (just about) everything. You guys will NOT be disappointed by this show.

Not to be cynical, but I imagine my enjoyment would correlate to how much I care about these personalities, no? The only comparison I can draw at the moment is "Wild N Out," which I only stayed a few minutes with. I totally buy they executed it right, but the question remains.

I think that, regardless of how much one cares about the celebrities, the various personalities make for an extremely entertaining mix.

On my episode, at least.

I'm going to assume that the questions are all related to hip-hop music/culture?  Not really my cup of meat.  I'll give it an eye, but if it is indeed hip-hop only, there's little playalong value for most people outside of MTV culture, IMO.

It is perfect for the demographics MTV2 pulls though, I'm sure.

You are incorrect -- the questions are general knowledge. Exactly the type of questions you'd find on a Bergeron episode.
