I did mean II, but I'm glad I mistyped!

[quote name=\'Jay Temple\' post=\'232277\' date=\'Dec 14 2009, 03:20 PM\']No one seemed to mind having Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly five days a week, 52 weeks a year. Just get Betty White and Neil Patrick Harris to do it full-time.[/quote]

Yes, but you have to admit the dynamics of a panel of six are different than just having two. And there's the fact that Brett and Charles are funny.

While Dick Clark's Pyramid was able to find competent players, they rarely drew actual celebrities, with or without II's after their names. And therein lies the rub.

On the other hand, Meredith Baxter Birney (Bush Blodgett) had three husbands and five kids before coming out of the closet.

Don't shoot me all at once if this doesn't sound good, but how about contestants from the next (or previous) taping play the celebrities. Assuming they don't do returning champions. You have the two current contestants for that day and their partners who will be competing tomorrow, helping them get to the WC. Then at the end the host can say, "Now tune in tomorrow to see if these people can do as well when it's their turn in the chair." Then the next day's contestants help them and so on and so forth. Then on Friday, the two best players from the week help out the Friday's contestants or whoever they want from that week. If they do have returning champions, do the same thing, but just pull fewer people from the pool to play as a partner. It would motivate the partner to play hard since it would be good practice. Then for the actual tournament, have celebrities be the partners.

Too much going on. It'll make the viewers' heads asplode. Just keep it to a simple contestant-celebrity combo. I still refuse to believe that there's not a competent stable of celebrities who can give seven words in a given category. The producers will just have to do their jobs and look, instead of half-assing just to get a paycheck.

Another thing they could try is to get previous champs from the 80's to pair with new contestants.

In your opinion, absolutely.

/I guess 18,000+ isn't all that impressive when they're all "Wow" "Huh" and one sentence snipes.
