I had turkey.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

I feel this will likely be the last relevant time to mention that while on hold with Fremantle on a call before I flew out to MDP, I was treated to the US Temptation theme music. No joke.

Honestly, the set and the theme song were the two things I actually liked about Temptation. Theme could've ran about 45 seconds longer, but it was decent enough.

Oooooo. So did I. Stuffing, too. And jello. It was delicious.
Always happy to have a decent version of $otC return to television.
It's also nice to have programs with returning champions being presented in taping order.

And also nice to see an elegant game show with a budget to match said elegance, and not rush their contestants off within five days.

/Geez did the US Temptation completely miss the point...[/quote]I actually never had it pegged as "elegant" as such, but the feel exuded matches the fact that you can win nearly a million dollars in cash/stuff, and the game is treated with the appropriate level of gravity. Not so much that it feels overdone, but it is just right.

/Wonders how much of the $70,000 per episode allotment went to the new graphics and colors.

So far, no sign of the new eps on Diwana.  Any chance one of you fine Aussie folk can help a brother out?
