Yeah, I've tried about two hours of this, and I am finding that the shortcomings of the game annoy me more than the chrome entertains me - and it's pretty clearly counting on the chrome to entertain me, because the game couldn't be any thinner if it were devised by an Olsen twin. I fail to see how they are going to ask 500 questions over the course of the series, much less one person's game, so why the hell do I care? (ESPECIALLY when the host keeps making a running joke out of the fact that There's A Lot Of Damn Game To Go Yet.) Am I supposed to care that they bank money along the way? If so, why not call the show Blocks Of 50 Questions?
It's just not good. It's not Set For Life-bad, but it's not good. I utterly fail to see how the glaring flaws in the format didn't keep this from being produced.
/ABC had a shot at Poker Face, ffs
