This was, as is always the case with ED's stuff, a mixed bag. There were some oddly sexual interactions between some of the male contestants and Ellen. Obviously that seems like safer territory than Ellen's sometimes infamous interactions with women (Katy Perry comes to mind). And the menThis was, as is always the case with ED's stuff, a mixed bag. There were some oddly sexual interactions between some of the male contestants and Ellen. Obviously that seems like safer territory than Ellen's sometimes infamous interactions with women (Katy Perry comes to mind). And the men involved often seemed like they were LGBT as well, with one doing very Magic Mike sort of gyrating and feigning stripping off his clothing.

The main problem for me was many of the games were poorly constructed and did not lend themselves to humor. Watching folks in uncomfortable positions suddenly swept out of sight (either up or down) does not a belly-laugh make. They've also cut a lot of Ellen's smiling sadism. She seemed almost Zen in her reply to her contestants pleas for mercy. On her daytime show, she's more obviously enjoying the entire schtick.

If this show is going to last, they're going to have to let Ellen out of her stupor, and come up with better ways of injecting humor than spraying folks with thick brown goo.… Expand

The screaming... the endless, shrill screaming. Makes one pray for Armageddon.

Ellen clearly cheated for the female. On the 4/2/2019 Jacob clearly hit his button first.
Then the women she picked eliminated Jacob. What a rip off.

This show is best suited for preschoolers who are still entertained by jangling a colorful plastic ring of toy keys in front of their faces, or any adult that would actually laugh out loud at a cat doing anything.

Let me start off by saying that I consider myself to be pro-Ellen. I like her TV persona and I happen to agree with her politics. Having said that, I must say that I'm not a fan of her new TV game show.

I like her TV persona and I happen to agree with her politics. Having said that, I must say that I'm not a fan of her new TV game show. It isn't terribly funny when it wants to be, and it seems to highlight a more sadistic side of Ellen's nature that, frankly, I find a bit surprising... possibly even disturbing. Additionally, the show trifles with my sense of fair play as Ellen is able to control the outcomes in several of the games. If she is of a mind to, she can manipulate the outcomes of the individual games by making obstacles harder or easier for the competitors based -- i guess -- on who she wants to see advance through to the finals and have a chance at winning $100K. And the final set of questions at the end of the program are truly dull-witted: name the celebrities as the photos flash in front of you. For each one you get correct you get $10K. I mean, all that work getting there and "name the celebrity photos" is the payoff?!? Very, very lame.… Expand

Physical abuse is funny? This show is a loser for any reasonably intelligent adult. If someone gets injured on this show I hope they sue everyone involved into bankruptcy!

Stupid -- Loud -- Mean -- Sadistic. The point of this show seems to be to make the participants as uncomfortable and degraded as possible. If you're the type of person who laughs at an elderly woman falling down in the street, you'll love this show.
