1 vs 100

I think I judge my game shows by how much I'd like to be a contestant.

1 vs 100 beats Deal or No Deal hands down in my book. I can't understand why anyone even watches Deal. It came on TV before 1 vs. 100 and I could never get interested in it. No matter how hard I try I just don't give a crap what's in the case or if the contestant takes the bankers offer or not. It's very uninteresting to me. Now 1 vs 100 on the other hand there are at least questions to hold your interest. It allows you to become more involved and to play along while your watching. It's sort of like Who Wants to be a Millionaire only if you give a wrong answer you lose everything and also you're competing against a "mob" who gets your accumulated winnings if you're wrong while they answer correctly. Plus it's a little bit like Hollywood Squares (but without all the jokes) because they sometimes put famous people in the mob.

I only saw previews for it once but apparently Penn Jillet from Penn and Teller has a new game show called Identity. It looks interesting. I'm gonna check that out in March when it comes back.
