Interesting note on Wednesday's episode:

Do you watch everything that GSN airs? Or every game show in general on any given day? I'd be impressed if anyone could sit through more than one episode of this one.

Bouncing up and down in his chair the entire time. Bank on it.

Sans pants, likely.

A slightly more interesting question...

...I was flipping networks one day, and I saw How Much Is Enough? was on, but something interesting caught my eye. They were about to start the final main-game round, but one of the contestants had already been mathematically eliminated...she was over $5,000 behind second place.

I thought it would be interesting to see what would happen, or how Corbin would play it out...but it was barely even mentioned, and only after the contestants were locked in (when it was too late to affect the game). I really think there was a lot of potential there, to see how badly she could screw it up for the others if she wanted (since HWIM should really fall apart in theory if one of the contestants has absolutely nothing to play for).

Oh...I guess there wasn't a question there. Oh well, what do you expect for a thread about this show? Me to care?

There is a question, and it's almost interesting. I say almost, because it doesn't matter how badly you want to screw it up; what matters is how they think you're going to try to screw it up, and that's the point of the game regardless.

She could do one of two things: either buzz right away, which does nothing, or make it clear that she's NOT buzzing, ever, the clock counts up to $5,000 because nobody else wants to be first, they all get the money (or, more likely, get nothing, which all of a sudden makes buzzing in BEFORE that point interesting again, and the "game" is back on), and the endgame is the same two leaders going into the round.

I'm just not sure how much they can break, when the game is utter crappe to start with.

This is my first time watching...contestants are Dianne/Betsy/Vernell/David.

I've seen about two minutes and Betsy and Dianne have both found a way to annoy me.

Betsy: "We came to play, Corbin!"
Dianne: "I'm losing...but I got some TV time!"

There's a game in there somewhere, but I have yet to find it. Pass.

There's a game all right, for the contestants in the studio. As for the home audience, fuggedaboudit.

Here's the latest. As of March 11, HMiE is no longer on GSN's nightly schedule. It's been regulated to weekends, along with That's the Question and Camouflage. Lingo aired in HMiE's time spot, but I think that's only a temp situation. I think www.buzzerblog.com announced that Russian Roulette was going to air in that time slot - the old shows, NOT new ones. Looks like GSN has had enough of HMiE.

Which means they lasted a solid two months longer than I did.

According to buzzerblog, Russian Roulette returns in the 10 pm EST slot effective April 1st. I'm assuming this is NOT an April Fools joke.

I thought the internet lore was that Sony was unwilling let Sony run the show because Sony was asking for a price that Sony could not afford to pay to Sony. So I assume Sony will be able to meet Sony's asking price?

The idea that a company owning the rights to run a product not being able to because they can't pay themselves enough is too bizarre to contemplate.
