Saget is total wrong for host. Needs retooling. Since most questions are tv trivia, brains aren't needed. One can just guess A, B, or C.

Saget was so rude and even a little condescending to the young lady from DOND. She was obviously very articulate and "knew her stuff". I am not sure if I like it yet. It's so much like DOND in a different costume. Wish they could speed up the stuff between questions. Cindy

I'm gonna watch this show like I do DoND, in fast-forward mode. All the unnecessary chitchat is annoying. The grkids like to guess the answers. I only knew the Kelly Clarkson answer because of Mike Boogie! ewww! Thought Ken Jennings looked haughty, smug and hateful. Boy, did he get a big head.

Jennings is under a lot of pressure. If he misses one it'll be the lead story from here to Timbuktu. The perspiration was dripping off him.

I'll give it a few more shows. I think Bob Saget isn't the guy for this. Most of us know him from trying to be funny and stuff like that. They need someone that can draw the suspense out of us...

I agree about the host. It did seem Saget got a bit rude. On a game show we don't want a host that going to be rude to the contestants. We want someone funny but genuienly warm to them.

Funny to see I'm not the only one wondering how Bob Saget got this role. There are sooo many potentially better hosts out there... and yes, that poor young DOND woman looked embarrassed. too bad she didn't flip him the bird - ha ha.. other complaints: I don't like how the music sounds like a clipped, lame version of DOND. You need GREAT theme music to addict you to a show.. its so important. I agree Saget doesn't have a clue about suspense. We KNEW the technical writer was going to proceed since she had both of her 'helps,' but Saget drew it out which was only annoying everyone.

My brother is going to be on tomorrow's broadcast. He is in the mob, with a bunch of MENSA members. He said he can't tell what happened, but you do see him on the show, and he's addressed as "Number 45."

I kinda liked it better tonight. Maybe the Producers read this thread or something...Saget still isn't the man for the job though. Does anybody else think that some of the Mob (couldn't they have come up with a different name?)answer wrong on purpose to boost the dollars up?

Only the mob members that are left from answering questions correctly will split the money, so answering wrong ends your chance of getting money, don't know for sure why you'd answer wrong, unless you want to go home now.

Nick, do you mean asking someone from the Mob a question when you don't know the answer and need help? Why wouldn't they give incorrect info if the contestant were relying on them? Just like that one girl answering about the Jessica McClure question when she said she had a vivid memory of the child's name. You could tell she was under 30 so would have to have been a young child when that happened. How well would she remember that? I also chime in on not caring for Saget. Gotta love the jeopardy guy getting ousted on such an easy question. I couldn't believe it.

Funny how Saget acted like the jeopardy guy was with them forever when he only lasted two shows. The blond tech writer looked like a real life relative of milhouse (from the simpsons). Bandit, I think I spotted your bro.. long hair, right??

Not really, Chilli. I understand that part of it. It just seems like some of the questions are easy and I find it hard to believe 15 or more would get a particular question wrong. It smells to me of drama and maybe a little producer induced. Certainly the "mob" gets a little something for being there, even if they are out the first question.

Chilli, I couldn't have answered that question if I'd had a gun to my head much less money on the line. I've only been in casinos a few times and I never played Roulette so I never paid attention to it. LOL

Yup he has long hair. I can't believe he outsmarted Ken Jennings...LOL. He'll be on again on Friday.

I've never been in a casino either, or seen a roulette wheel in person or gambled in anyway but I've seen them on tv. For suspense purposes they always show them up close while the ball is spinning and when it stops. That's how I knew the answer. I was just saying that for all the trivia Ken knows, I was surprised he did not know this easy one.

My brother posted on another board today that his speaking part was edited out...LOL! Here's what he posted: Rats!!!! After all that buildup, I got edited out! There's various shots that include myself and the other Mensa members, of course, but they evidently were forced for time reasons to cut out the bit (they did an awful lot of time-compressing generally, as they did the previous week) where Bob talks to me as #45 right after Chaz shows up to play. I'm a bit bummed about that: The producers made such a big deal about having a group of Mensa members there, and there was a moment (IIRC, it was right after they reminded everyone that Ken Jennings was still there from the previous contestant, or maybe it was just before, but it was right around there) where Bob asks me as "#45" how one qualifies to get into Mensa. I respond that all that is needed is to score in the top 2% on any standardized intelligence test, and then to pay your dues to belong to the organization. He quips back something like, "Wow, and I wish that I could have stated it as well as that," and we all have a nice chuckle. It was a nice plug for Mensa, and a nice bit of screen time for your humble servant, but alas that's TV editing for you. As it was, the only Mensa-related commentary after the initial introduction came when they questioned the guy to my immediate camera-left (#44) why he answered a particular question in a way that ended up being wrong. Don't know why they went through all that buildup of having various groups represented in "the Mob" when they barely touched on that fact during the actual broadcast as edited, but there it is. Rats again... Well, at least, the really detail-oriented among us will be able to see that I -- along with a few others in our group, though not all -- answered a question correctly that Ken Jennings dropped, and we carry over to the next contestant (dang that Chaz for taking our $150,000+!) so that's something. Wow, sorry to raise everybody's hopes like that. I guess that I gotta be a little more careful next time that I'm in a similar situation...... :-) Love and peace to all, --jonathan

Saget seems to be loosening up tonight. Better banter between him and the contestants and the mob. He's not doing much these days. He should take advantage of this like Howie has with DOND.

why would a contestant believe one of the mobs answers? I think the girl threw in some wrong reasoning for her correct answer so the contestant wouldnt pick her answer....am I missing something?
