Post by: BillCullen1 on June 07, 2012, 09:57:41 PM: Promos on Dawson's GSN tribute say the American Bible Challenge will be seen in August on GSN. So it's a go.

Yeah, I suspect I'll have zero-to-negative interest in the show itself, but the taglines they have written for the promos are pretty clever.

How?
Because those are two games that deal with various and sundry levels of what a Fan 'O' Jeebus would consider "sin," the former somewhat more than the latter.

I said "how", not "why".

Post by: BillCullen1 on July 02, 2012, 11:37:31 AM: New promos for the extravaganza are now appearing as of today (7/2). There are news clippings praising the show and apparently any money won goes to someone else, perhaps a charity of the contestant's choice. They also had a premiere date which I didn't catch.

Edit update - August 23 is the premiere date. That's a Thursday.

The first image that comes to mind when I hear "Beat the Chefs" is two guys chasing each other with rolling pins....

I picture the guy painting the end zone in that old Snickers commercial.

I preferred the one where he got frozen to an ice hockey surface while having an orgasm at an arena ad.

/why didn't the Mr. T Snickers commercials air in the US?
