YOU BET YOUR ASS!
« on: January 13, 2006, 08:44:46 PM »
According to the network's website:
Quote
Hosted by Canuck funnyman Stewart Francis and his sexy co-host, Sitara Hewitt, You Bet Your Ass combines the unpredictability of high stakes gaming with wise-ass pop-culture trivia.

In each episode, contestants duke it out for points through four rounds of wagering. "The Wild Card" provides more opportunity for contestants to add to their totals, or better yet, steal 500 points from another player if they get the question right.

In the final round, contestants put their "ass on the line" by betting on three final questions from a category of their choice. With each question, they can either bet a portion of their points or go all-in. The person with the most points wins $500. Here's the twist: they can either go home with their winnings or let it all ride for a shot at $1,000 of cold, hard cash by correctly answering one final question. In the end, true casino gamesmanship and kick-ass trivia knowledge determines the winner.

Honesty.. this show is about as fun as watching paint dry.. wait.. that's fun compared to this show.

They've mocked the set to look poker-like, from the contestants sitting at a poker table with buzzers, to the categories being on a 3-card monte looking screen. (which the contestants don't even choose the categories!)

The host is suppose to be a comedian.. he acts like a bad skit performer on SNL; and the 'sexy co-host' looks like a cute waitress they must have picked up at the bar while she was serving the drinks where this "great show idea" came to fruitition. ;)

The rounds are called things like  "Piece of Ass" and "Ass on the Line"..

I wouldn't waste the airtime on this show.. rerun more South Park or something.. lol

So they can either kick ass or take it in the ass?

(I'm very sorry.)

Actually.. we were thinking about making a brand new game for all the people who keep asking for more games a day after we release a new one..

It will be called BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS, EH! [so I can hold the Canadian rights to it!]

Isn't that the line Don Cherry most often gives to Ron MacLean during Coach's Corner on HNiC?

I'll side with Mr. Game Show.  Initially when I found out that Canada had a new game show that had already taped, I was annoyed... however when I caught a couple of minutes I realized that the question writers were trying too hard to be Ben Stein-like and the host must be a distant cousin of Patrick Wayne.

There's flaws in the scoring system at the end, too... but I'm not going to get into that :)

Do I WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN?

Oh... and I caught the rerun today... it was the same episode, and based on the first minute, I turned it off.

On behalf of the nation, I'm sorry that we've bet our ass on this piece of... <BLANK>

It's okay. You guys make Hockey Night In Canada, too, so I'd call it a wash. :)

Oh it isn't that bad. It's frat-boy humor. The host is going for (and nailing) obnoxious (where as Finn was merely clueless) and the sidekick is muay caliente!

I thought it was funny and will probably watch again...miles better than Distraction (Comedy...I want my 1/2 hour back).

Will Desperado be hosting? (anyone brave enough to visit Chartier's forum will get that right away, LOL).

The Toronto Star's Vinay Menon has just posted a vicious -- e.g. accurate -- review of You Bet Your Ass:

Another lame TV game show
