PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"1 vs. 100" |
I can count two strikes against NBC's newest game show before ever seeing it.1. It's hosted by Bob Saget, who is probably not in Aristocrats mode. 2. According to one review at MetaCritic, during the entire one-hour premiere, fourteen questions were asked. So we now have a game show that makes Deal Or No Deal look fast-paced. Worry. I'll probably watch it tonight just to see what all the fuss won't be about. Anyone else? 
(Nine p.m. EDT. First Full House joke at 9:02.)

1. "RE: 1 vs. 100" |
I have another strike against it - it's the worst execution of what's a really cool idea that I've ever seen. The questions are positively ridiculous - I knew the answer to every last one of them. The answers are inane, and there are only three choices - that's way too restrictive. The perfect number of choices for a multiple-choice question? Four, of course. Every "Millionaire" fan from the turn of the millennium knows that. They also know that, although the first few questions should be easy enough, they shouldn't be ridiculously easy, and the questions should be better than "What's a badonkadonk?" Seriously. I could have written better questions than that. Although I suppose the questions have to be easy, since any wrong answer means they lose every dime to the mob. I'm sorry, but you have to have a safe haven. Maybe a rule that you get 10% of what you win if you miss it.That and I thought Bob Saget's crack at the beginning was stupid and borderline offensive. Doing the fist thingy with that bouncer was kind of cool; after all, Bob Saget would be on channel 712 doing crappy stand-up in front of a national sudience of 57 if not for Howie. Following it up with "Now don't touch me" is the dumbest thing ever. Yes, we all know Howie Mandel is obsessive-compulsive and doesn't like germs. We know he has an aversion to shaking hands. It's old news. Making a crack like that at the expense of the man whose fine work as host of Deal Or No Deal is the dumbest thing ever. Bob Saget should be dismissed as host of 1 vs. 100, it should be cancelled, and it should then be revamped with harder questions, a safe haven, no DOND models or famous people in the mob (maybe all anonymous people who are a professional mob) and four choices instead of three for the questions. 
On the other hand, if Bob Saget had done the Dr. Evil finger thingy while he said, "One million dollars," he could have had a laugh at Howie, and we all could, too. And at the first guy who looked like a younger, balder Howie.

3. "RE: I hope i t's OK..........." |
As I said, I really liked the show - as a concept. I didn't like the execution. And I don't like Bob Saget. I expect TV Guide to slam him in the "Cheers and Jeers" section the first chance they get.Also, he tried to be funny and failed on multiple occasions. He wasn't offensive on those occasions; he just wasn't funny. If they want a comedian to host the show, they should bring back George Gray (for those who weren't Weakest Link fans, George Gray was the host of the syndicated, 30-minute Weakest Link. In contrast to Anne Robinson's stern, schoolmarm demeanor, Gray was described as a class clown, and from what I watched, he was a fvcking riot. He would do far better at this than Bob Saget.)

6. "RE: 1 vs. 100" |
LAST EDITED ON 10-16-06 AT 05:13 PM (EST).....and then there's the two "lifelines": Assistance from the mob in 2 different directions. 1. Choose an answer and one of the members who chose it will defend hir choice to you. (The simple fact that 70+ out of maybe 80 or so wasn't enough? or the opposite, if you choose a wrong answer and see only 3 people out of the entire mob, and the defense is pretty convincing even if the number of mob members choosing it wasn't......) 2. The computer will randomly select 2 of the mob members with one having picked the right answer and one picking the wrong answer. (The little caption on the bottom of the screen said that the member didn't have to be honest about why they chose an answer, but they must be honest about which answer they chose.)
With lifelines like these in your back pocket, it's easy to see why the 2nd contestant is still playing with over half of the mob gone already.......

8. "RE: 1 vs. 100" |
and last night we saw the other end of the lifeline come to bite the contestant striaght on the a$$: Only 4 people chose the answer that the contestant picked for the first Mob lifeline on the "Baby Jessica" question. The woman he chose was so convincing that he decided to try the other help from the mob. Just as I was saying to the other people watching in the house I was in that he better pray that one of those 4 people don't end up being one of the random picks of the computer, the same woman came up with one of the Mob members who got it right! The one who got it right played dumb, of course. The contestant went with the wrong answer and the Mob of 49(?) who got the question right shared his $35K!Also, last night, "Mr. Jeopardy" Ken Jennings who was in seat 13 got eliminated from the Mob on a question about a roulette wheel, mainly which color is the number 1? (He chose black, B, the correct answer was red, A) 
Adricharlie's still not bitter, is she? Nah.....

WOWThe questions really got tougher. Now the big money seems less obtainable than DOND. AND...Saget sure isn't making this more fun...It seems like there are more commercials and less show time too. I better get a life one of these days!
