I don’t know if this is commonly seen on the game show circuit or some super fantastic new find.

I haven’t watched yet but the plan is to get to it soon.

Saw it.

The format as such would get old in a hurry.

I don’t know if “It” came first, or Wheel of Fortune’s Before and After category—but in a nutshell, that’s what “It” is. The contestants have to utter both phrases whereas the simple middle-word should have sufficed.

I liked Gene Rayburn, but no thanks!

The title goes down with Whew in the “Really? Nothing better?“ category.

It like if they had called Let’s Make A Deal “Choose”

But having said that, I liked the concept. It’s right in my wheelhouse of something I’m good at. And I thought the bonus game was clever with the one contestant having to come up with the puzzles for the other contestant in an attempt to both win money.
