Of shows on the air...

Commonly, we all complain about the lousy job that contestant cordinators do these days in picking their contestants.  What show do you think does the worst?

My nod would have to go to the staff at "Wheel".

I'll just state the obvious and say everything but Jeopardy!

Seriously, if I had to pick ONE.... Feud.

It's a little hard to define "worst."  Yeah, I'd say Wheel has the dumbest contestants, but Feud has the most grating ones (thanks in part to Richard's act).

Gotta go with the Feud for some of the worst and funniest answers in genre history.  But, "A Group of Pill Pushers" on Wheel isn't far from the top spot.

Gotta go with Lingo, too many one sided matches.

I agree with those who vote for Wheel.  If the contestants become any more robotic, Pat will start to call them by their serial numbers, ala "Jeopardy 1999" on SNL.

Feud is a close second.  Somewhere in the contestant audition rules, there must be a requirement that families who make the show must dance to all music cues but cannot clap in synch with the music cues.

Without a doubt, "Kenny Vs. Spenny."
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

I'll go with the Feud simply because there's hardly a week that goes by where an outrageous answer may show up either in the main game or the Fast Money Round.

Wheel comes very close in that category.  I'm not sure if I really want to root for a particular player these days based on their puzzle solving abilities.

Right...because Richard Dawson never dealt with an outrageous answer on a regular basis. What month are we in again?

Easily, the worst is Lingo. ;-P

Feud (American version) comes in a VERY close second. I can actually tolerate the Wheel contestants much better than those on the Feud.

Pray tell me, Zack,  how a 1987 interview regarding Mark Goodson relates to modern-day, 21st Century Karn Feud, unless Goodson is still alive and kicking and running the program from his 6' subterranean office at Forest Lawn?!???


Wow.
