    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 men involved often seemed like they were LGBT as well, with one doing very Magic Mike sort of gyrating andThis was, as is always the case with ED's stuff, a mixed bag.

    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.
