Rumor Control: “Camouflage” Host Roger Lodge

Obviously this is unconfirmed until GSN sends out an official press release, but we’re hearing from people who have auditioned for the show and/or passed the test that the host of GSN’s new original game show Camouflage is Roger Lodge. Lodge hosted the long-running reality show Blind Date and also the severely underrated ESPN’s Trivial Pursuit, which deserved a much longer run than it got. On Camouflage, contestants are given a clue and the answer is right in front of the player’s eyes. However, decoy letters are placed in the middle. The point total drops as decoy letters disappear, so the quicker a player buzzes in, the better. The winner gets to play the bonus round for $5,000. The game feels a lot like That’s The Question, to be honest.

Speaking of That’s The Question, has anyone seen the new GSN bumper where Dylan Lane does the only passable thing he’s done on the network: play a game of fake charades? I see Bob Goen guessing along with Chuck Woolery and Shandi Finnessey. Beyond Catminster, which was basically a one time thing, is he doing anything beyond That’s The Question? Maybe we will hear about a new series of episodes in July during the TCA announcements.
