Title: Entertainment Weekly recaps Game Shows 2015
Post by: BrandonFG on December 11, 2015, 08:08:19 PM
Entertainment Weekly unveiled its list of the year's more memorable game show moments, a few of which have been discussed here. It's in a slideshow format, but still good for a laugh (http://www.ew.com/gallery/game-show-moments-2015/2404278_matt-jackson-jeopardy?hootPostID=5a3a23c891b4cd329bc7486fd618dd68).

I wasn't able to click past the advertisement after the treadmill nontroversy and given that it's a slideshow I'm not really incentivized to do so.

Your prerogative, but it's why I put the disclaimer, because I knew it might be off-putting. But again, it's just light reading. YMMV.

I read the whole thing and this might be my age showing but it just annoyed me. I suppose that the definition of viral is "hey, this thing happened," but it's mostly silly answers on Family Feud (which writes their questions to generate them) and that gal on Jeopardy whose voice should be sold as weapons-grade annoying.

That's three things out of twelve.

So what? If you were to discern intent you would come to the conclusion that those were examples and that I didn't care for the other elements either but didn't feel like listing them all when a person could use up some of their precious time on this earth by clicking through the list themselves.
