I started about 15 mins in or so. As soon as they did the long drawn out thing and then going to commercial before giving an answer - I changed the channel.

I watched and probably will have it on to see how the week ends, but this will not be some break out hit. It was sooo slow for one thing. I hope it picks up the pace or I might not make it to see how it ends on Sunday.

I actually enjoyed it, I love that I knew the answer to most of the questions a lot quicker than the contestants. At least there are not tons of screaming people in the audience, I hate that! So, since there aren't many new shows and it is only one week, I will probably watch the whole thing. It is something to do while I clean, wrap presents and write christmas cards.

We're putting them on the DVR and will watch them this weekend - fast forward thru the BS and probably get through it all in 90 min w/o spoilers.

It's definitely too slow for sure. But I like the idea of the show. If they would speed it up I think they could actually use this show throughout the year as filler.

Looks like this one is sliding down the list. Everyone giving up on it? Or just not much to talk about. The guy on tonight, was he the "Umpire" I think? Was he just a creepy guy with his winking, kiss blowing, and "look across at a pretty face" crap. Or was it just a means to try and psych the woman out? Either way, I was glad he only lasted the one round!

I've been watching. Nothing else on. Although I know I couldn't watch it "live" because of the pace, on DVR or tape it's pretty entertaining. I liked when Greenie asked the woman what she was thinking, and she quoted the question right back to him an said "that's what I was thinking about". The Ump was a creep, and that "girl power" woman in the beginning didn't do her fellow females any favors by stating out loud she thought a woman should win the game....but the women do seem to be out-playing the men so far. Why does everyone seem so afraid of the software guy? Everyone up there is smart, what makes him so special?

Jan, I like it too. Interestingly enough, so does my 13 year old DS. I think he likes the chips/betting aspect of it, rather than it just answering questions. He's actually quite good at it!

i love it too and do not think its slow at all but maybe that is because there has ben SO many other game shows that have been way too slow and stupid the last 2 years - but to me, this one goes at a good pace

I like this show! I don't find it too slow, but I also know that it's not a show that'll be on forever, just till Sunday. Then it'll be done, with probably a 2 million dollar winner, if they keep betting all their chips like they were last night! LOL Because it's only a 7 day show, they can be a bit slower with it, but if it got picked up through the year, it'd probably pick up the pace. If there wasn't a strike going on, there'd be no way it'd get picked up to go throughout the year, but since they need filler soon, it just might get picked up. It'll be the season of reality and game shows. LOL

Well, they did speed it up a bit by not asking the potential challengers to introduce themselves (how many times did we have to hear he was a Fireman?). Fast Forward helped when you KNEW there were going to cut to commercials. We're both learning a few new items of trivia. It's fun to challenge ourselves with the questions. Love the chip strategy part.

i wish somebody would have picked pat...the software guy. he looked cool, reminded me of the guy from penn and teller. (don't know for sure who is penn and who is teller) i could do pretty good on this show or at least i do well playing along at home.

I enjoy this show. I don't think it's too slow, but I do think there are too many commercials! I love shows like this. I hope they work on fine tuning it, and bring it back some time soon. I'd rather see shows like Duel, than a mid-season Big Brother! I know that statement is heresy around here, but really, do we really need more than one Big Brother a year? Well I don't anyway.

Hubby and I both have really enjoyed this show. It has spurred quite a few great discussions between us. I'd like to see it as a permanent show.

I think the host is so dry and boring. Last nite they seemed to speed the game up a little so that was good.

We're going to keep track of our own chips and answers on Sunday and see who wins at our house. This is better than "Deal no Deal" because you have to THINK and strategize. It's not just blind luck.
