Ack! If I want to see kids doing stunts for prizes, I'll either watch <i>Double Dare</i> or <i>Fun House</i> online (both of which were waaaay better, IMO--although I prefer the latter). I'm inclined to believe this makes DD2K look good...and I disliked DD2K! I think I caught, like, a five-second glimpse of this and then went off and did something else. Ack!

I rather wait for "Clash Of The Choirs" to return than watch "Double Dare" go 30x better.

NO, because you are not looking at the overall picture. (I did NOT watch the show BTW) 2. That is the most ridiculous, reactionary, untrue thing I have ever heard! UGH! And believe me, I have heard people say some pretty stupid stuff on this blog! When will you people learn?! In response to the top and bottom lines of Jordan Hass’ post…..

Sure, you can blame the network suits for letting a Mark Burnett (a lucky SOB, if there ever was one) in, in the first place. But, this time, the real blame goes to the WGA strike. And to think that something like THIS show gets on the air at all, when (warts and all) CAVEMEN gets canned (granted, that was a bad show. But, at least it had the right idea regarding lampooning political correctness; something that some reality shows seem to lack).

Gimmicky DOND Episode 2. One of the worst Double Dare knock offs (Fun House at least was watchable) 3. Power of 10 is replaced with Big Brother 9 (which is equally not doing well) The only way we could find out if this is true, is see how good Moment of Truth was on a non-idol night. If it's not higher than a 7, then we are in a game show recession. Yes, Game Shows are the Metaphors of the U.S. Economy... Could this be the sign that “Prime Time Game Shows” are finally declining?
