If you want to go really crazy you should try watching the UK version. I watch it with the sound off, because the game itself is exciting, but this way I don’t have to listen to the verbal stuff, which, believe me, is weird.

My family watches this show all the time, at first I enjoyed it, but eventually it seemed really odd. For instance, there are never any average joe contestant, it’s always some over the top individual who constantly has to make a scene. If the person is from the south, their accent is intensified 50%. If their black, their usually “urban” or keeps yelling “thats wot Imma talkin’ bout!” If their a female, their ditsy or full of them self. It’s the kind of show you know you will never be on, unless your blood is made out of caffeine and your heat beats more then 180bpm.

Solve the puzzle with only an “R”? Hhaha They used to are Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and Millionaire but they’re all discontinued to give way to other local game shows (like the local version of Deal or No Deal) which in my opinion, wastes time

Good point, pelf. That’s why I like watching Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, Family Feud, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, etc. — you can play along and brag to your friends that you totally would have beat Scott Jenkins, or that you solved the puzzle with only “R” up there.

I watched it once (the Malaysian version, I think) on TV and that was the last time. I think I’d prefer something more entertaining than seeing ONE person gambling. I mean, there’s no action, no comedy, no joke (and I thought even if that ONE person won it, I wouldn’t have gained anything). But my Mum follows it quite religiously. Or maybe that’s because she has nothing else to do at home?
