Also, you must take into account (as far as the bonus game is concerned) that the classic version, and even "Go" had that same problem on many occasions. I see a lot of the celebrity teams form improper sentences when they struggle to put a question together, but in some instances the contestant gets the jist of what they're saying and says the correct answer. Same goes for some of the teams on "Go." The fact is, unless each player is a mindreader, you can't expect a "perfect" question to be formed every single time.

Get rid of him and find someone with a pulse and an ability to get excited for teams to win, and the game would be better. I do agree with the contestants being crappy...I do think they can find better ones...perhaps offer more money ($10,000 to win the bonus game for starters) and you might have some more people who would want to try out.

One of the biggest criticisms is that they go for looks over actual game-playing ability. If they could find some attractive contestants who actually know how to play the game, it would be a lot better. I honestly got sick of the constant passing during the bonus game. Teams passed without even trying to form a sentence, and the sentences they formed were wrong in every sense of the word. I also have some superficial issues with the show, i.e. the techno theme song, "Millionaire" set, and lack of an actual gameboard, but I'll save those for another day.

It's not the greatest show ever, but it's pretty fun. What exactly is wrong with “Chain Reaction”? It’s not the greatest show ever, but it’s pretty fun.

If they had a different format that is, I don't know, decent and not horribly broken, I can just see him hosting it. His dry wit seems like a good fit in my mind.

Sorry Alex I just don't see it. And besides Just what he needs another game show on his resume with a bad format. Pat hosting Chain Reaction? Sorry Alex I just don’t see it.
