  1. Kaya was the best contestant of this run, no surprise she was on Jeopardy as well. Spencer was dumb to not vote her out (with no bank building round in the F2, there is no reason to not vote out the obvious best player at 3) but it turned out to be a close battle in the end (though the questions seemed pretty easy).
  2. Also he was on Celebrity Family Feud where his “family” was other dads from his kids school. Sucks that neither Erik nor his helper Alberto knew what a “wenis” was. I learned that in elementary school since it was something kids would joke about due to the rhyming implications. If he had used Ask the Host I’m confident Jimmy would know it. As for Julie Bowen getting a Tiger King question for $1,000,000 that would be the one case I would see a question and be happy to not know the answer.
  3. The new episode tonight had to have been filmed about two and a half years ago. There was a reference to Joel Mchale’s Netflix talk show which was cancelled August 2018, and Skylar Astin talking about his marriage to Anna Camp when they divorced in 2019
  4. It still did well in the demos though, in the 18-49 it got a 0.8 (down from 1.0 for the premiere) which is good for any show nowadays especially a game show. It did much better than Millionaire and Card Sharks (the latter of which looks dunzo after this season). I agree the problem is that they don’t explain all the bonuses at the start which makes the big sweep (which is the main draw of the show) hard to understand and having all these “employees” isn’t really necessary. I could take or leave Leslie Jones but it’s the lack of explanation on the game that’s the real issue (since not everyone might be familiar with or remember the 90s version) I do like the bonus round though and was surprised to see someone win the $100k so early in the season. It was an exciting moment but most of the later contestants will likely be less competent.
  5. I actually was enjoying Tiffany towards the end, lol idk why but she became endearing despite being annoying at first. Tonight’s group seemed less trashy then the previous one but they still aren’t intelligent, of course with them not being able to bring in contestants from the entire country the contestant pool is quite limited. Still can’t get over that one guy thinking Lee Harvey Oswald was a poet.
  6. Really dislike the (likely producer encouraged) trash talking between the contestants. Seemed like they went for a lot of IMBD page types, hopefully if there is another season (which there probably will be, it’s rated well so far and is easy to produce as long as the pandemic is going) they fix the issues from this season that came from having to rush it on the air.
  7. Renewed despite NBC’s efforts to kill it. https://deadline.com/2020/09/the-wall-renewed-season-4-nbc-1234588851/ Seems like they wanted to be done with the show, but this is so easy to do under COVID guidelines that it helps to have it available. Probably will see the next season in like 2023 though.
  8. This was ok but there’s not really any reason to watch this over old episodes on YouTube. The gameplay is fine and Jane is a great host but the production and editing were all over the place. Also doing the discussion before revealing who voted for who seemed awkward but that’s just compared to the original. And if you don’t know the answer, just pass instead of stalling for 10 seconds when you are on the clock, there were some people tonight who did not get this. Of course compared to a certain person on the show airing after this they seemed intelligent.
  9. Kathie Lee and family were on the originally Celebrity FF with Al Roker before so that helped. And Ricki Lake hosted that Game Show Marathon special which included Family Feud. So they were familiar with the rules which made them more likeable to watch here.
  10. It is airing this Sunday at 7pm before the Emmys.
  11. Pretty sure it’s fake crowd noises as it is on Jeopardy. Buzzerblog made way too big of a deal over the white thing being like “condoms” which the average Wheel viewer won’t think of. It is odd they are still offering trips as prizes but i guess the trip companies need all the advertising they can get for 2022 or whenever traveling comes back.
  12. Caught some of the show this morning, it switched from afternoons to mornings on a different station in my market. The format is pretty much the same aside from being on Zoom and having an at home player who wins $1,000 if the studio contestant wins $10,000. People are probably burnt out on Zoom shows by now but it’s good they were able to keep it going, hopefully it will get back to in studio in the future.
  13. PR purposes mainly so the show is ensuring the causal viewers they are taking the pandemic seriously. However Julie should also have to wear a mask in that case, either have them both do it or neither.
  14. Yeah the ratings weren’t the greatest (Million Dollar Mile got pulled with higher ratings, though it aired in season and with a Survivor lead in) but it’s cheap to produce, keeps Phil on the network and can be plugged into a timeslot wherever (much like his other show). Seemed like an easy call for renewal. I’ve still been watching every week but mostly as background noise and for the Rob has a Podcast recaps afterwards (most of which have had Phil on as a guest). It reminds me of that show “American Grit” which was on FOX for 2 seasons a few years ago and hosted by John Cena which had a similar focus on being “tough” and promoting hard work.
  15. The 2nd season will have Meredith hosting remotely from her home. The set is so small it would have been hard to work around COVID restrictions so they decided this would be the best option. https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/game-show-host-meredith-vieira-shares-memories-of-regis-philbin
  16. ABC’s Sunday game shows are repeats the next 2 weeks and then NBA the following Sunday, so it’s 3 weeks at least without new episodes. Probably they are trying to stretch them out through September since they don’t know when fall shows will be able to go into production.
  17. Not surprising they already broke up which is why the ending felt rushed and anticlimactic. Seems like they had flown all the families out to Chicago to film those family segments at around the same time this was filmed. Sucks for Stewart but it’s not like he will have trouble finding someone. It’s clear she liked him as a friend and found him attractive but the feelings didn’t go deeper than that. Kyle you could tell she was actually into.
  18. Another almost-million dollar winner tonight, they really seem to want it to happen. It helped that tonight’s winner already won a lot in the main game including a freaking Mercedes, so he was in a position to take risks in the bonus round. But at least we know it’s possible to achieve. ABC is throwing money at this show with Tesla’s and these ridiculous “______ for life” prizes. It’s weird when it leads into Match Game that is “only” $25,000. This episode was dangerously close to The Wall territory with being overly sappy and emotional with the engagement ring prize but it’s not as forced on here. I will say Elizabeth Banks deserves an Emmy for her hosting. Nobody else genuinely roots for the contestants like she does.
  19. Kansas City was this years super bowl winner so these episodes were taped this past February before everything went to s***. I wonder if the presence of these drawn out single game in an hour episodes is because they couldn’t get enough celebrities or didn’t tape enough episodes. Don’t know why they can’t just play 2 games with the same teams if they couldn’t get enough people though.
  20. This show has a specific audience it caters to and it’s a different one from the one that watches Amazing Race. If FOX Nation made a competition show it would probably look like this. But aside from the pro America rhetoric it’s a decent show. It’s mostly physical challenges but they seem to have figured out a way to make sure it isn’t just the strong men winning everything. They are certainly more interesting to watch then most of the challenges on the other CBS reality shows nowadays. And keeping the team challenges the whole time is a good way to get to know everyone and build the interpersonal relationships that make those other shows work.
  21. Yeah they are being pretty dramatic, its their dad’s old girlfriend from before any of them were born, not their mom. But they were already upset with him for bailing so that only exacerbated things. Sucks that they did the cliffhanger at the end but at least we didn’t actually see Larry drink, so we can presume he answered the call and left. Hate how the best character on the show got the depressing ending though. As soon as they announced the baby was a boy I assumed they would do the cliched thing and name him Scott so thankfully that didn’t happen. That is kind of the whole point of AMLT. It’s basically just wealthy people codependent on each other creating their own melodrama. I probably won’t remember anything that happened on this show in a year but don’t regret spending 10 episodes watching it. It worked as a limited series but not sure I could watch multiple seasons. Perhaps they should have made it a more lighter family drama like a Gilmore Girls type show, that could have worked better than the TIU/AMLT melodrama route. The ending with Scott was nice though and they probably could have ended the episode there instead of the cliffhanger at the end.
  22. ABC spared no expense with the food related prizes on this episode. 5 years worth of hot dogs, 100 apple pies, and 4 years of 2x a month trips to Outback Steakhouse. I wonder if the contestant just put that last one as a joke when filling out whatever forms they have for the personalized prizes. I mean nothing screams ‘Merica more than an Americanized fake Australian chain restaurant. Glad they didn’t pull this episode just for one of the contestants being a cop, though it probably helped she didn’t win. Apparently they did this with an episode of The Wall though that show can’t help itself with it’s OTT sob stories.
  23. That was a new tiebreaker in the first half of the episode right? I remember before they would just play another regular question with all the celebrities. Though in this one what happens if both contestants write down the same answer? I guess they would just edit that out though. And yeah the lady in the second half was bad, especially knowing she was enough of a fan to know which celebrities were new to the show and which were regulars. Shoe department, really?
  24. For some reason I got invested in this stupid show. It’s a show to have on while doing other things mostly but I’ve still unironically enjoyed this and became invested in the outcome. Really thought Marcus was done. He is playing the Survivor game trying to make “big moves” but that’s not going to help on a dating show. Although at the end Kristy kind of basically admitted he is keeping him around because he is a doctor and has money lol.
  25. No surprise but the show will be done after it’s one season. https://www.wsav.com/news/entertainment-news/nbc-discontinues-council-of-dads-series-showrunner-says/ This show wasn’t bad but NBC really needs to stop with these TIU clone shows as they are now 0 for 3 with them. But lord knows they will keep trying, just like ABC kept trying to make LOST esque mystery dramas a decade after it ended.
