To illustrate Chris's point, especially for anyone who couldn't figure out what the format was about: if the clueword was \"apple\", and the buzzword you'd chosen to include in your sentence was \"synergy\", a legal clue sentence would be \"One of these a day keeps the doctor away, but has nothing to do with synergy.\"

The only way that particular format could ever come close to working is to change the rules to say \"Judges will decide whether or not the buzzword was used properly in the sentence\", and that way lies massive viewer aggravation (Cullen's Pass the Buck, anyone?).

Yeah, they've got enough of their own incompetence to deal with as it is :-P

Not to encourage the posting of game formats here, but a few examples of how your game is played go a long way.

 Wait a minute - do you \"not encourage\" them in the way you don't enourage the bad GS jokes, or do you want to see them gone from the board?

 What he's basically saying is that he doesn't care for them one way or the other, but there's free speech, so if you want to, knock yourself out.
