Yes it's slower paced and the knock off game is a bit of a miss and the cheapness of the Instant Ca$h (which was a fn NBC budget insertion anyway and shoulda been scrapped) is a problem but I don't think it's horrid...is it as good as Perry's version, NO but it's truer to the format than say CS01. I dont hate it...I think It's a little dry and I agree they need MORE prize distributors rather than full blown sponsors but this is a problem that's creeping up on big time shows like Wheel so I'll give them a small pass. The prizes need to be upped but we are talking mynet which has a lower budget than most cable these days. And (HERESY ALERT) I always thought that the shopping round was anticlimatic even in victory...the winners board with a setup where you spent for picks I thought would be a happy medium. It's a decent show but like osmond pyramid, too much jazz, not enough host power and the seams show on the cheapness too much. I know most people hate this show but I give it a C+ am I missing something?

I thought that a revival of SOTC would work and be really cool to see. But since Fremantle was involved I gave up hope. and now I'm worried about Million Dollar Password. Fremantle did something right with tapping Regis as the host. I only hope they didn't screw up the classic game known as Password. Temptation is an embarassment to the Sale of the Century name.

Take two. (*snap) I recently had the chance to see Temptation for the first time. I must say, it is quite terrible. I haven't seen the Australian version, but it sounds like something really got thrown to pot in the works. All I know is, it's not nearly as fun as the original. Too many cheesy games that seem ripped from other game shows (and they are), not enough... what's the word? Entertainment. (POTENTIAL SPOILER, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME IF IT IS, ALEX...) If this is the first of two sad pieces, I can only assume that the second one is the passing of our beloved Merv Griffin? I recently had the blessing of being (wait, did I just say “blessing?”)

I don't mind the gameplay all that much maybe because there is two parts of the game that is like Wipeout which is another gameshow I really enjoy but my disappointment is not with the gameplay but the host. He just doesn't cut it for me I think Mark L. Walberg would have fit in well for this show. Granted though the 80's version of this show is definity much better and I think if this show doesn't get a new host it's going to be cancelled within the next 2 months.

Take the scoring format of "Split Second's" countdown round, add the Trivia Trap $1000 Trivia Race touch and it would've been interesting. And have MORE men this time around. Is this Fremantle or a borefest? TTD '90 was one. Maybe the game would’ve been decided by the Trivia Race.

I can only hope Regis's Password gets decent treatment from Fremantle; if not, then Two legends (instead of one) would be utterly screwed beyond any salvation. They're called VIEWERS, Fremantle - don't play them for idiots...
