When I first started watching Press Your Luck I thought it was excellent and Elizabeth Banks is a funny and wonderful host for the show but now I think it is starting to jump the shark and here are the reasons,
First i'll begin with,
1. Contestants that seem to have stories behind the reason they apply to be on Press Your Luck,
Almost every episode of Press Your Luck i've watched I always see contestants with stories like "My mother is very ill and I want to send her to Hawaii because she has always loved Hawaii" or my kids want to go to Disneyland/Walt Disney World because they always wished to go there" and I can't figure out why Press Your Luck has contestants like these and I don't recall Peter Tomarken's original version having these types of contestants
2. Selection of personal prizes on the bonus round,
It seems that every single contestant on Press Your Luck has a story that seems to match the personal prizes on the show and then they add stuff like free Taco Bell for a year or Billy Joel concert tickets. I mean how about adding personal prizes that the winner REALLY likes?
3. Themed episodes of Press Your Luck,
What is it with these themed episodes of Press Your Luck? Are they trying to copy Wheel Of Fortune theme weeks. Like last week's Deadpool And Wolverine themed episode was cool but they could've made it more fun like having Ryan Reynolds do a guest appearence on that episode and there were few Deadpool themed prizes and the rest were regular prizes
4. Interesting Whammies,
Press Your Luck should've used the Double Whammies from Todd Newton's Whammy The All-New Press Your Luck in addition to new Whammies. What I think they did was recycle the 80's original Whammies from the original Press Your Luck and they should've used computer animated whammies instead
5. Songs at the end of some episodes,
I never knew why they chose to play songs at the end of some Press Your Luck episodes. But it sounds odd that they choose songs like Starship's Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now and Survivor's Eye Of The Tiger and they should've never had songs at the end of some episodes. Is there a Press Your Luck soundtrack coming soon? I don't think so
