Regarding contestants - before the first show was taped, they had name tags that were quite colorful. Right before they were about to tape, someone in the control room said over the P.A. system "Lose the name tags." The contestants are referred to by first name only, so they've taken a page from the GSN playbook. The first show taped had someone named Victor, so watch for him. The celebs on the shows I saw were on ABC shows. They were good and seemed evenly matched.
