    The show is, in various ways, just such a trick, not quite convincing viewers that its shtick is authentic, but granting that those viewers get the joke (and will forgive, and even enjoy, the cheesy results).

    As games go, this isn't a bad one. But unlike horror movies, the Fear doesn't feel real, and the show is nothing special.

    Watching them tied up for a find-your-partner challenge is more absurd than scary.
