America Says

This show grows on you. The host has a nice dry sense of humor. The teams are likable. It favorably compares to Family Feud, which has become needlessly raunchy and somewhat disgusting in recent years. I like how the question is visible on the board, unlike on Feud. It helps my hard-of-hearing family member play along.

I always thought this show looked dumb on the commercials but I started watching it and it grows on you. John Michael Higgins is a good host. He has a nice dry sense of humor and makes funny, witty comments when contestants give ridiculous answers. He is also very professional, unlike Steve Harvey. It's entertaining trying to guess the blanks and can be pretty challenging. Whoever wins gets $1,000 (divided by 4 people = $250 if you lose) And if you win you get an additional $15,000, so total $16,000 (divided by 4 only $4,000 each) and it's never a whole family, it's always a mix or a group of 4 friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. So maybe if the prize was at least like $60k that would be better cause then it'd be $15,000 per person. And they should make the first prize higher too. Most people don't even win the grand prize. Overall it's okay when nothing else is on. I'd still rather watch family feud though.

I enjoy this show. The first couple of times I watched this, I also thought the contestants could be actors (some were over the top), but I've watched more episodes, and see that the players are just very peppy and enthusiastic. The host is very good at interacting with the contestants. It's similar to Family Feud, but I think this show is much more family friendly and I think kids would enjoy watching this too. Glad to see that GSN has added a second half hour of the show (replaying the first episodes that I missed). I hope that GSN will renew for an additional season.

The director needs to be fired, does not zoom in on the board when there are still blanks to be filled. We see enough of the host and contestants throughout the show, let's see more of the board. Host JMH tries too much to be cool and witty, and needs to chill on the paltry FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS (for 4 people?) said way too often. Sorry to be so negative, but would be a good show if they fix these flaws, in my opinion.

I've searched long and hard to determine from where their answers come, but to no avail! Some of their answers are totally absurd! ...and why isn't the "Grand Prize" easily divisible by four, such as $16,000 (or $20,000) for instance?!
