Promos on Dawson's GSN tribute say the American Bible Challenge will be seen in August on GSN. So it's a go.

Yawn.

Whatever I end up thinking of the product, I love the line about the rules being "carved in stone".

Yeah, I suspect I'll have zero-to-negative interest in the show itself, but the taglines they have written for the promos are pretty clever.

Watch, they'll put it back-to-back with Baggage or The Newlywed Game, which would be a bit ironic.

How?

Because those are two games that deal with various and sundry levels of what a Fan 'O' Jeebus would consider "sin," the former somewhat more than the latter.

I said "how", not "why".

A thousand pardons. Corrected.

GSN should bring back Concentration to pair with the Bible quiz and call it "The Rebus/Jeebus Hour"

I would *totally* watch that.

New promos for the extravaganza are now appearing as of today (7/2). There are news clippings praising the show and apparently any money won goes to someone else, perhaps a charity of the contestant's choice. They also had a premiere date which I didn't catch.

Edit update - August 23 is the premiere date. That's a Thursday.

New word from Multichannel News is that Bible Challenge will serve as a lead-in to Beat The Chefs. Full scoop here.

The first image that comes to mind when I hear "Beat the Chefs" is two guys chasing each other with rolling pins....

and I'm picturing the Swedish Chef from the Muppets.
