Most points at the end of round four plays for $1,000,000 in the money round.

Moment of Truth

So yes, the show you all love to hate, The Moment of Truth, is back tonight at 8PM ET. We seem to have matching opinions on most shows, but I have a feeling this one will be different. Voice your opinions in our comments and give it your star rating. Network: FOX Airings: Tuesdays at 8:00PM ET Host(s): Mark Walberg Vote for how many stars you think the show deserves to the right, and then leave a comment! The Moment of Truth is the most controversial game show currently on TV. The contestant is asked over 50 questions prior to the show. 21 questions are asked, in the order of embarrassing to extremely personal. Each right answer gives the contestant more money and if all questions are answered correctly, the contestant wins $500,000. However, if a false answer is given at any time all money up to that point is lost. The family members that accompany the contestant can hit a button once during the game to change the question.

American Gladiators

Here’s a comment box to discuss the season debut of American Gladiators today at 8:00PM ET on NBC. Network: NBC Airings: Mondays at 8:00PM ET Host(s): Hulk Hogan and Leila Ali Vote for how many stars you think the show deserves to the right, and then leave a comment! American Gladiators is the ultimate televised extreme sports competition.  Two men and two women face off against each other and the Gladiators in events of athletic prowess, skill, and determination.  By the end of the regular events, each point the leader has equals a half-second lead in the final event: the Eliminator.  Whoever crosses the finish line first wins and continues on through the tournament.  The grand champions of the season wins $100,000 and a new car. The first season admittedly had a lot of issues.  They tried to reinvent the wheel a bit too much.  They made some events too easy (see Power Ball and Hang Tough) or they made them far too hard and complex (see Assault and Eliminator).  As season two news came in, we were told they made a lot of changes for the better, and it seems that they did.

Bingo America

Tonight GSN debuts their new show Bingo America in just a bit minutes, and this might be interesting. Their site seems to not be working right now, so either there's major issues on their end or a lot more people are downloading cards than they expected. But hey, you get to play along with the questions at the very least so that's a plus. It's a pretty decent show for the first 27 minutes before it drags to a halt in the end game, so just be warned. I'd love to hear your thoughts, as would GSN. Be sure to leave a comment, and also give your star rating (0 to 5) in the POST INFO box when you click on the story's headline. Hope you like it.

Russian Roulette

Network: GSN Airings: Weekdays at 6:00PM ET, Tuesdays through Sundays at 10:00PM ET Vote for how many stars you think the show deserves to the right, and then leave a comment! Russian Roulette is the ultimate game of chance. Four contestants stand on "The Revolver" and on their own "Drop Zone". A question is stated and the player in control chooses who to pass the question to (or they can answer it themselves in the final round). A right answer awards the challenged money while a wrong answer bankrupts a player and forces them to play "Russian Roulette" with however many drop zones are active for the question. When the handle is pulled, lights circle the set, and if a red light stops under the player's feet, that person literally drops from the stage and is eliminated from the game. The sole survivor plays the Killer Qu
