Comments on: Why is GSN Shooting Itself in the Foot with “That’s the Question”? http://buzzerblog.flashgameshows.com/why-is-gsn-shooting-themselves-in-the-foot-with-thats-the-question/ Thu, 04 Dec 2008 23:55:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: contestant http://buzzerblog.flashgameshows.com/why-is-gsn-shooting-themselves-in-the-foot-with-thats-the-question/#comment-527 contestant Fri, 03 Nov 2006 17:39:44 +0000 http://buzzerblog.flashgameshows.com/?p=446#comment-527 There were a lot more spelling mistakes on the show, but they were edited out of the show later. It made some questions rather hard as the letters on the screen were incorrect. I can see how this might make some people look a bit stupid....or even more stupid ;) The blame for the mistakes does not lie with the Dutch as someone suggested it might. The American producers insisted on making their own questions, but only submitted them a few hours before the show so there was no time to check them for mistakes. The Dutch production crew had no influence on the actual questions at all. It was a lot of fun to participate though.

My little brother got more right then the two contestances combined! The show is really good, but they have some of the dumbest people I have ever seen as contestances.

I really, really, hope that if the run does make it back to the US, that they check things better...it's really an enjoyable show, nonetheless.

For being a word game, you'd think *someone* would notice when something is spelt wrong.
