I ever tell you how sick I am of Rosie O’Donnell and The Price is Right news? Rosie said that she had a nice lunch with producers on Friday, but has suddenly changed her mind and stated “Well, here’s the thing: I really don’t need a job. I’m in a weird position. I don’t need the money. So to get my entire family uprooted from their lives and move them across the country so that I can have a fantasy childhood indulgence, you know, job … it just doesn’t seem fair.” Rosie hails from New York.

None of the writers decided to update today, so sorry for delays. According to TVWeek, NBC has supposedly chosen Joey Fatone, a former N’Snyc member, to host their karaoke game show The Singing Bee. In the show, contestants will have to sing to songs as the lyrics and music disappear. This news comes days after NBC rushed the show to July 10th after FOX announced their clear ripoff show, Don’t Forget the Lyrics, was also rushed to air on July 11th. Whose Line is it Anyway? cast member Wayne Brady will host FOX’s edition.
Any thoughts on this host casting? I’ve stated my opinions about Wayne Brady, but I will admit he seems to have boat loads more charisma and charm than Joey Fatone does. Yes, he is a decent singer I suppose (I couldn’t name you one N’Sync song to this day), but that isn’t all that’s needed to host a game show, even if it is a singing game show. I believe he was recently on Dancing With the Stars. Can anyone tell me how he was on that, because I’ve never seen an episode of that show?

The ratings have been updated for 1 VS 100, Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, and the probably series finale of National Bingo Night (what a shame……). NBC should look at how reruns of 1 VS 100 is winning its time slot, especially if Singing Bee fails. The ratings page can be found at the top right section of our new website.
The co-hosts aren’t done just yet. One of our favorite stat sites, WWTBAM.Biz, has announced that Tim Vincent, an Access Hollywood correspondent, will host the final week of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? for the season, starting June 25th. Don’t know who he is? Don’t worry, not many do. I’m worried and here’s the main reason: He was the original host for GSN’s Chain Reaction. If they passed on him for Dylan Lane, that scares me a bit.
The ratings page has been updated as of 6/22/2007. The newest ratings are for Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?. Other ratings include all network shows and most syndicated shows. Ratings are always coming in, so keep checking the page.
People who were outraged about GSN’s upcoming show Double or Nothing can breathe a sigh of relief. According to the show’s site, it’s just going to be a one-time two-hour special at an unspecified time. You can still be a contestant, though. If you are over 21, single, and want to sell everything you have and try to double it by one bet on a roulette wheel, either red or black, click here. Double or Nothing will most likely be announced in July’s TCA. By the way, we just found out FOX Reality Channel passed on this show. Hey, at least we have Camouflage, Grand Slam, Without Prejudice?, and the probable That’s The Question second season.
GSN recently supplied us with a copy of their new original word game Camouflage, and I am happy to say that they have redeemed themselves after Chain Reaction. We’ll get into the superfluous information and praise/complaints in a bit, but here’s a very quick look into the rules.A Scrabble like clue is given and the answer is literally before the contestants eyes, spelled correctly from left to right. However, extra decoy letters are thrown in making it tough to locate the answer. A letter drops out every second, and with each removed letter the point value drops by 10. The sooner a contestant buzzes in and answers correctly, the more points they get. If a contestant answers incorrectly, no points are given or taken away. One puzzle in each round is deemed the “Double Camouflage” puzzle. After someone answers correctly, they are given the chance to double their points if they get another puzzle from the answer given in 10 seconds. There is no penalty for wrong guesses, and they have unlimited guesses in the 10 seconds. Click below to read more. Continue reading ‘Early Look at “Camouflage”’
