Is this a program that we all recognize as a game show or is it something on the order of Survivor or Big Brother?

Was it specifically named FOR the game show, or does it just happen to share the name of one? 'Cuz one's a lot more interesting than the other.

Sorry. They changed their name to Pants Off Dance-Off, South Dakota in 2007. Not a pure game show.

Yes. Three down, seven to go.  Miss Francis?

I know the answer. At least I know an answer, whether it's the only one I couldn't say.  

The fact that I know it could be considered a clue.

/That's right, QuizBusters, Michigan.
