I\'m a fan of a lot of fairly rapid-fire Q&A, but the one contestant at a time, one question at a time format for the first two rounds just doesn\'t excite me much as a viewer. General knowledge questions with a little bit more chrome, even if it\'s just contestants competing with each other on a buzzer or racing to answer as many as possible against a clock, are more appealing.
Another factor for me but not for the intended audience is that there\'s enough of the material that\'s way outside my usual wheelhouse by virtue of being foreign to reduce the play-along factor substantially.
