The new lineup for the Pumping GAS block is Get the Picture, GUTS, Figure it Out, Finders Keepers, and Legends of the Hidden Temple. Looks like Super Sloppy Double Dare got the shaft......
ObGameShow: Could someone please explain to me that \"Time Bomb\" thing on Think Fast's first season? I can't figure out if it's good or bad!

Found this while doing some searching:
In the first season, each team member had 30 seconds to search the lockers, and the extra locker had a \"time bomb\". If the first team member could find the time bomb in under 20 seconds, 10 seconds were added to his/her teammate's time; if not, 10 seconds were deducted. (Later in the season, finding the Time Bomb simply meant that there was no deduction.)

That's what I thought....the way it was presented on the show was awfully confusing, IMO. The red herring in the second season was better [despite Skip Lackey's revealing it to the players with his cry of \"Who is that? Who is that? Who is that?\"]

You could figure out which one it was during the beginning of the show. The one by himself/herself was it.
I don't know if that was shot in front of the contestants or not.

Hmm....that's the Pumping GAS lineup from back when I first got the Net back in January of this year.....
Looks like they were too busy with the friggin \"camp\" stuff to do a new lineup, so they're recycling the SOS

Wasn't that supposed to end at the end of this month, or was it suddenly brought back for some reason?
Hey, I'm not complaining about the Pumping GAS lineup. No commercials means more eps can fit on a tape. :-)

I'm sorry, but Skip Lackey was, without a doubt, one of the worst gameshow hosts i've ever seen. Whenever I turn on Think Fast and he's on, I quickly turn the channel. Although his trying to read cue cards is hilarious especially when it comes to scoring (\"yellow team is ahea........ losing by seve..... two hundred points. The red, er, blue team has uh, six.... no eight, nine hundred points\")

I agree.....Mike O' Malley was tame compared to him. Even Phil Moore was tolerable compared to Skip!
Michael Carrington is much better.....I don't find him too dull like others do.

I could see where people could find Michael kind of dull, but I think he did a good job with what he had to work with. He was truly into the games, though... sometimes moreso than the contestants. Compared to Skip, though, Michael is Marc Summers.

The camp stuff was supposed to end in August, but apparently it was popular, so they recycled it through September. Talk about bad hosts, I can't stand Mati...

Ya know, I really don't see why people hate Phil Moore so much. Sure, he was goofy as hell (some may say a little too goofy), but I thought he did a great job with Nick Arcade. He brought loads of energy to the show, and I thought he was a perfect fit.
For those that disagree, who would you have chosen to host the show?

I think \"goofy as hell\" pretty much means the same thing as \"too goofy\". And the problem with the energy he brought to the show was that he brought waaaaaay too much of it. Such a huge gap between the host's excitement and the contestants' excitement just makes the whole production looked strained and uncomfortable.

At least I got to see Salute your shorts.
Now if they would only show Hey Dude!
Are there any other Nickelodeon game shows they have the rights to but haven't aired?

Now, on the overnight block (1:00 AM CST) the block was:
Get The Picture, Guts, You're On!, Nick Arcade, and Figure it Out.

Just don't watch Make the Grade. Trust me, he's like Skip/Mati/Patrick after they OD'd on sedatives. This guy is AWFUL. [you all must know who I mean by now]

Robb Edward Morris?
It's not completely obvious to me that it's not Lew Schneider... he often had a tendency to drag the proceedings a little with his jokes. He still got through most of the game board on days where the fire drill didn't take four years to do. Robb on the other hand...

Yup, good 'ol R.E.M. I don't care for Schnieder that much either [he was way too monotone, IMO]
Robb, however, acts like a complete idiot half the time, and wastes even more time than Lew did laughing at his own jokes. I can even tolerate Skip Lackey over this guy. At least you could hear Skip speaking, as opposed to Robb whispering half the time.
