Sounds like it'll be fun, although I'm surprised Concentration is nominated for Favorite Classic Game Show.

Not that it's a bad show (I love it to death), but I've never heard a word about Concentration on GSN other than during the 50 Greatest special, and it doesn't particularly seem like their target audience would even remember or know about it.

Doesn't every kid play the "Concentration" card game at one time or another?

[clemon79]

When I was little and I saw "Memory" from Milton Bradley the first time, I was like "What? This is Concentration. Where's the rebus?"

[Winkfan]

Criminy, Burton Richardson got a nomination, but John O'Hurley DID NOT?!?!? Who did the nominating process? The Ghost of Cliff Norton, maybe?

Cordially,

Is it just me or are there WAY too many nominees in each category?

The crew at Buzzer has the full list of categories and nominations.  Some of these are really strange.

(I can't make a direct link to the story.  But you know where the site is, anyway.)

/Favorite Celebrity Player:  Rachael Ray, MDP.

[/quote]Well, "favorite" just means you like her, not whether she's worth a tinker's damn.

Alex obviously doesn't agree.

And I agree with his point of the one glaring omission- the one HUGE, GLARING EFFING OMISSION- in the contestant category.

EDIT: does this warrant a "we can do it better ourselves" kind of deal?

And even if you wanted to single out the smarties, I think you should have had a "luckiest" category as well. Ms. Lowenstein should be represented somewhere.

Which makes the omission even more glaring, especially considering that they friggin' DRAGGED SAID PERSON OUT TO CALIFORNIA for an interview well after the fact...

Your brain's broken. I blame Phil Keoghan.

(Is CarShark modded? I don't remember his post being before mine.)
