Divided and Idiotest on GSN January 19
« on: January 05, 2017, 10:46:28 AM »
Starting 1/19, Divided will begin airing and Idiotest will be airing new episodes on GSN. You may now resume your normal (or abnormal) activities.

Caught the two Divided eps that aired on GSN on 1/19. On the second show, nobody won any money because two contestants would not budge to taking a lesser amount of money. They both wanted the most (60%) and the time and all the money slipped away. So it's possible that all the contestants on an episode of this will go home with a big goose egg.

Interestingly, Ben Gleib followed me on Twitter the other day. I honestly don't have the first idea as to why but I welcome him to the flock.

For those who don't know: if the team cannot determine who to vote out unanimously, they have ten seconds to convince one of the outliers, then the cash prize dwindles.

I actually had someone try to convince me that 'Idiotest' was pronounced 'Idi-ot-ist'.  This same person in the past tried to convince me 'Pinterest' was pronounced 'Pee-in-trist'.  I should probably stop spending time with them, but they're just too damn entertaining.

Just my own, but I'd go the route of Ren Hoek and pronounce it "EEEEDIOT-test".

So GSN has decided to burn off Divided quickly. Good decision.

By doing two episodes a week for twenty weeks? Er?

Those words you said--they do not mean what you think they mean.

Maybe let people know what you're incorrectly talking about before you incorrectly talk about it.

Divided is now airing new episodes Wednesday nights in addition to Thursday nights. It has put up reasonably good numbers and demos so far.

I beat it up when it first premiered, sort of like The Wall, but the more I watch, the more I seem to enjoy it... like The Wall.

Seems more of a case of exploiting a show that's doing fairly well for them.

Why Millionaire it? You only have a certain amount of episodes in the can. If it's doing so well, why go through them twice as fast?

Two episodes a week =/= overkill. If the show succeeds, they make more episodes, maybe repeat the original cycle. I don't think anyone will complain about reruns in a few months.

Not that big of a deal.

Let's remember that GSN was so pleased with The Chase that they ordered a second strap of episodes before the show aired a single one, and premiered with a double pump. Not only isn't it a big deal, it certainly doesn't warrant the verb-ing of "Millionaire".

And the Chase didn't even make a 3rd season. What's your point?
