Title: If The Better Sex were to come back...
Post by: kidsplash on December 20, 2004, 07:43:48 PM
If Fremantle were to put "The Better Sex" back in syndicated (or maybe GSN) for new shows, what male-and-female duo would like to host the show? I've got the perfect answer:

Donny & Marie Osmond, of course!

Seriously, Fremantle actually did consider reviving this show, at least in title, in 2000. I don't believe a pilot was done for it, however.

Never you worry, Matt.  Tomorrow, there will be a coast to coast wave of knowing laughter.

I'd switch it off and watch Letterman...

As for my duo, how about Dan Rather and Connie Chung? Neither one's doing much these days.....

"Connie, that answer's as crazy as a headless chicken on meth."

Getting back to the serious replies (sometimes difficult here, I know :-))...
Why not a male & female duo comprised of established, compotent hosts, say, Tom Bergeron and Kennedy.
Or we could dust off some Nickelodeon hosts now that their contestants would be old enough to qualify; how about the duo of Marc Summers and Summer Sanders? Granted, having hosts named Summers and Summer would lead to some mind-blowingly awful pun-laden promos, but look at it this way...
1. We'd have two hosts who are both more qualified than Bill & Sarah for game show hosting;
2. You seldom have game show emcees who can make their own Chain Reaction bonus game puzzle (you'd have to fudge on one name, but still...)
2. Hopefully Summer Sanders would bring along her wardrobe coordinator from Figure It Out. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

You know, when you put the "Tom" in the wrong place in that sentence (in your mind), you start to wonder . . .

(Serious replies? Hah!)

Tom Bergeron and Kennedy are a good idea.

No! Putting Kennedy on TV is NEVER a good idea.

But from one show I saw last week, nor her hair stylist from "Figure It Out."  (And the show wasn't even from the "Wild Style" series!)

From the promos I've seen for her current FSN show "The Sports List," her current wardrobe person will be good enough.

And I should point out that although Marc's "DD" contestants are now old enough, some of Summer's contestants would barely make it on--now.

Marc Summers and Arthel Neville or Sissy Biggers.  No wait that's been done.  I've got it!  Bob Goen and Marianne Curan!

Why did it take soooo long for someone to post that?  Of course, that should have been the choice from the get go.

That won't work.  Paige is too busy with paint and glue on GSN.

Now, maybe she'd be interested in that show on the Style network...

Admit it -- you want yourself and your "mascot" to take both roles.

I think you mean TLC, but...

Meanwhile, this has come out on the Celebrity Nudity Database (http://\"http://www.cndb.com/actor.html?name=Davis%2C+Paige\").  Take it with the grain of salt, but...

ObGameShow:  Entering "Bill Cullen" in the Celebrity Nudity Database search box got nothing.  So did "Ken Jennings."
