Yes.

I'm covering both answers with my remaining chips and giving you seven seconds MAX* to complete your response.


* Product placement a go-go.

Maybe they could do a Lohman and Barkley and get Mike Golic to co-host.  If only to say "....on ABC"
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

How about a little love for this quizzer? The pace was quicker on Friday's extravaganza, the trash talking was kept to a minimum and a couple of the questions were memorable (the ones about tornadoes and Commodore 64).

[/quote]I don't have much but scorn for this game show. Duel 1.0 was by no means perfect, but it was a solid game. Now, they chucked Duel Math and the second press, an absurd money rubric that encourages players to make a quick strike and get the hell out, and a top prize that isn't made clear whether it's a bonus or an augmentation. And then there's the whole random contestant selection thing, where you may as well use the Fickle Finger of Fate to pick an opponent.
