As a fan of the US version of Jeopardy! I was excited to learn of the Australian iteration. The format and host of the Channel 9 show are plodding and I quickly found my attention waning. Game play is the same as the original, but there is an extra round of gameplay. Stephen Fry's need to show his own knowledge holds-up the game and doesn't add any interest. His QI approach is not necessary; the show isn't about the host's intellect. A more energetic host and snappy format that matches the original would do this show wonders. As much as I want to support a local show and contestants, sadly I won't be going back for a second episode.
