Dull. The best word to describe this series. The second-best way to describe it? Fatally flawed.
Jeopardy and WOF have been on the air for decades because the audience at home can play along, by the very nature of this competition the home audience cannot play along with the vast majority of challenges presented here, because you can't taste what they are experiencing. This fault will cause this series to flop from the get-go.
And without the ability to play along at home, we're left with dialogue and lots of standing around to keep us entertained. It doesn't work.
I believe the only way to improve this series would be to cut out the completely pointless time waster speed round, and edit it so that 3-4 contestants play each episode. There are 2 episodes of the 5 where there is only enough time to show 1 player, and there is just not anything compelling enough about this show to have 1 player carry an entire episode.
Other stray observations: The guest who tests stuff with the contestants makes sense, the other person has no purpose. Why are they there? Play by play?
Kal isn't a terrible host, but this was a terrible format anyone would fail at making exciting. Probably the most bored I've ever been watching any game show.
