can the sound be a little more out of sync?

[madcat61207]

I just realized Warren totally did that (flunked out) on purpose so that he could become a spoiler once Shelly reached 1000 points and Ty totally knew what he was up to.

You could tell that Ty knew when the word was 'store' and Warren wrongly says 'atoll' and Trey gives him this little dumb look and goes "spoilers had a shot on that one"

I love the show. I love the rules.

If they REALLY wanted to use a spoiler element, they could've borrowed from Click, the other lost gem of Griffin's games

Is is very watchable and fun to play along with.

I couldn't agree with you more. Unfortunately, the rest of this country would clearly beg to differ. That's because the ratings are very, very low. There goes my chance to be a contestant on this show :*(

[huggyface]

Yeah, I understand the ratings have been abysmal for the show. But it's fun to watch, overall...except I'm not sure about the "spoiler" element. A contestant can work hard and solve clues, only to mess up once and have a spoiler take any money/prizes earned away. They can also offer a greater array of trips, not just to Palm Springs or Antigua LOL. More cash can help, too...they seem to only offer cash prizes that were more common for shows in the 70's.

Well I think that if they changed the music and if they made it more exciting it would get better ratings. But it is very fun to watch.
