Am I the only one bothered by a game show that has a \"second season of eight episodes\"?

You must really hate \"The Cube\", then.

By that definition, \"The Big Showdown\" lasted for 26 seasons.

If it\'s treated like a special event vs. a weekly, no. See: \"Under the Dome.\"

If it\'s treated like a weekly, then I\'d say yeah, that is a bit odd.

Aren\'t they double-running the first 8, anyway?

Last it was reported here, the premiere will be two new episodes, and subsequent weeks will be a new episode, then an hour from the previous week. So the first order will have all been seen in 7 weeks.

I\'ve seen the promos. For someone who\'s never seen the British version, my curiosity is peaked. I\'ll definitely watch the first GSN version of this.

GSN has announced Season 2 of The Chase will start November 5th. I believe they only aired six of the eight episodes from Season 1. The Beast lost on two of those shows. So Season 2 will have 10 episodes, figuring GSN will air the two shows from Season 1 that have not aired.

What\'s your source for this information? Do you necessarily know for sure that those Season 1 episodes will air during this run?

I\'m speculating, which as far as I know isn\'t against any rules on this site.

To my eye it looks like you were making declarative statements and not speculative ones.

...is in no way, shape, or form a speculative statement.

While speculating isn\'t against the rules I think that it should be frowned upon and the speculator should have some manner of source-age to back him up.

Speculators who think a commodity will do a thing that end up being wrong might pay for their guess dearly, and those who float \"maybe, possibly, I guess\" as something approaching reasoned discussion are dismissed very quickly.

All righty fine. Next time, I\'ll put \"I\'m speculating\" in the sentence. That should eliminate any misunderstanding.
