    I watched the first night and was intrigued but by Thursday all I could think of was how much getting a spot on the show is akin to winning a half million in the lottery. Show up and you have to be a moron not to win. It would be a lot more interesting if the Sumo wrestler for example didn't actually wear the outfit or the youngest didn't dress like a frekin schoolgirl.

Show up and you have to be a moron not to win. It would be a lot more interesting if the Sumo wrestler for example didn't actually wear the outfit or the youngest didn't dress like a frekin schoolgirl. Why not have someone else dress like that to throw the contestants off a bit? When Stan Lee and Maurice Greene are there and she is struggling to figure it out? C'mon. The show could be over in 15 minutes if they found some bright participants. I actually like Penn Jillette as a host although he does try create dramatic tension where there is none. They will probably have Teller in the next episode the way things are going. Interesting concept but horrible execution.… Expand

    Penn Jillette can't pull off the illusion that he's as likable as Howie Mandel. [22 Dec 2006, p.75]

    Problem is, the show is more comfortable with cliché than subtlety.
