Description of "The Final Straw" from Futon Critic ...
THE FINAL STRAW
The newest show to join ABC's unscripted lineup is the larger-than-life physical comedy game show, "The Final Straw." The stakes are high as four teams of colorful contestants face off to combat tremendous tipping towers. Each life-sized themed tower is chock full of various objects ranging from basketballs to small kitchen appliances as contestants try to successfully pull items from the stack without tipping it over in order to earn prizes. If the tower falls, the team is eliminated and the last team standing will compete against The Mega Stack, an epic battle of physics where the odds are literally stacked against them, in hopes of winning a life-changing grand prize.
Translation -- It's Jenga, but ABC changed just enough to avoid a lawsuit.

Jenga or KerPlunk. Re: Generation Gap. With Kelly Ripa hosting, makes it a must miss.

Somewhere recently there was a link to a pitch of this from overseas. Anyone remember that?
