Wasn't it rumored that he wanted to bring Bruce to the states to host this; but Bruce hosted "Hot Streak" instead?

Straight from my website...a review:
Personalities: Jim Perry’s hosting style is perfect for the show. He seems to be able to create suspense when flipping the cards. Models do little more than stand there, and hand the host cards. Total points: 27/30
Game format: A game of basically luck, which I have never really cared for. And the survey part of the game really seemed irrelevant except to determine who got control. . Total points: 14/30
Set/Music: The music is now classic among fans of TV themes. Nice audience-participation with the “clap” pattern in the opening. The set is a totally different story. It looks like it was constructed in a hour, and could topple over at a moment’s notice. Total points: 11/20
Prizes: A $28,800 maximum win in the bonus round could be done-which it was-if you were lucky enough. The $200 win in the bonus game was awful tiny though. Towards the end of the run, they added bonuses as a last-ditch effort to “save” the show. Total points: 7/10
Playibility: Very easy to yell out “Higher” or “Lower”, with the contestant predicting the cards. Total points: 10/10
My notes-Sorry, I never really have seen the compelling factor in this show.
Grand total: 69/100-D+
