 No, I think the word you're looking for is disgust.

I don't believe they have enough episodes of each to air them on a daily basis; so my guess is they'll probably be shown on the weekends, which could mean 'curtains' for Greed and/or The Weakest Link.

On the other hand, if GSN does put them on daily, we might see WWTBaM repeats on the daytime lineup only.

On the OTHER, other hand, they BETTER NOT ax B&W Overnight in favor of the new additions!

I don't think so.  Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I personally think this may be a possible reason why the majority of the classics in the dinnertime hours have double runs in the mornings now.  Perhaps there making room for more game related programming?

Of course, I could also be very wrong.
