Idiotest is GSN's newest addition to it's line-up of original programming.

What makes this new gameshow so unique? Trick Questions. Every question the players get must be read carefully. but they can't take too long, because every second counts - take too long and you won't win as much money.

Unfortunately, this gameshow needs a little work. It's very short and empty and not much action is going on. there needs to be a few more questions in each round. Ben Glieb is OK, but he's no Jeff Foxworthy.

However, it really does make you think before you answer, and that's where I give idiotest credit.

6/10

This is a good show if you just need something to get your brain exercised. However, as I am learning, most "game shows" don't consist of your average person off the street as they want you to believe. They are actors. And knowing that just ruins it for me.

All The complaints are all about the host Ben Gleib, who I do not think is as bad as people are making him out to be. He's a comedian who hosts the show, so yeah he's gonna make some jokes people will find "offensive". But are the contestants complaining? Not from the episodes I've seen! They are always enjoying their time on the show, win or lose. And Ben is enjoying hosting and talking with the contestants. Everyone is having fun on this show! The only people offended are some of those watching.....

The rest of us enjoy this game show! I've watched it with family and friends and they enjoy it too! The puzzles range from fairly easy to cleverly tricky, and some are incredibly tricky! It is a fun show to solve the puzzles as you watch, at least from my experience. Give it a chance, I'm sure you will enjoy it too!

Our family thinks that the show is genius! We love the type of logic game scenarios that the producer has cleverly conceptualized. As we watch it we challenge each other to solve each puzzle as we laugh and have fun. However, it's hard to stomach when the host starts to sound condescending, rude, and bored. He lacks personality too. We have to turn the show off after we can't stomach it.

People are too judgmental in their reviews I love the show Ben gleib is funny and it think he is a great host the tests are fun and challenging yes sometimes it gets a little inappropriate but over all it's a great and original show for the whole family

Unlike straightforward quizzers, Idiotest rewards lateral thinking under pressure. It has one of the highest play-at-home scores in recent memory. Its puzzles can be tough, but always fair. You have to stay on your toes: is there a missing apostrophe that completely changes the question? Can any word be interpreted in a different way?

It's a delight to play along. Yes, the snarky humour will annoy some viewers, but you can hardly fault the gameplay itself. Idiotest is a hidden gem.

I came across this show on Netflix and only made it a few episodes before I had to turn it off, it was that bad. I only came here to confirm my thought that it would have to been cancelled after the first season.

I was surprised to see it lasted four seasons. I am now thinking did they film multiple seasons at once and went with the we might as well air them philosophy.

I don't know how the production can let an awful and mean person like that hosting the show. He is so rude and thinks he is funny but he just hurt people. The show should be host by a funny and nice person not by an idiot.

My husband and I are hooked. If you have a sense of humor you should love this show too!

Everything about the show is horrible - from a frankly uncomfortable host with a hoarse voice who shouts at the top of his lungs every 10 seconds, to a time-wasting set-up of "get back to your seats". Everytime someone comes to the screen, the host attempts awkward conversations, almost always resulting in facepalm moments. Even if you wanted to get through that for some reason, the show is ripe with problematic words and ideas - beginning with calling everybody an idiot, and ending with misogynistic remarks on people's bodies. If all of that could be ignored for a second, you get to witness the most useless, unimaginative and downright moronic questions on the table, which the host then goes ahead to explain while shouting in his hoarse voice. All of this, mind you, is done with obvious forced laughter to successfully make it the worst show of all time. This show manages to get everything wrong, and that is its only consistency.

I wish it gets canceled, I love the game show network, but can't stand this stupid host!!! It should be called Idiothost.

As game shows go, this one is entertaining and makes you think. The problems or puzzles to solve are alternately tricky, straightforward and slightly sophomoric but all in all fun to participate in. The host, along with the show, grows on you, as he banters with generally young contestants vying for paltry prize amounts. He remains supportive and congenial through the sarcasm and unlike most game show hosts, can't readily 'mail in' his performance, much of which is improvised or at least appears to be. Think you're bright? Try playing along and see how well you do! The show would benefit from a more diverse group of contestants, e.g., how about more folks over 30 or even 50? And maybe the producers could scrounge up more money for contestants to battle over; a thousand dollars or so per winning pair and nothing for the losing pair is peanuts compared to many other game shows.

I've seen some terrible game show hosts, but Ben Gleib on Idiotest is by far the worst game show host I have ever watched. I watched a few episodes just because I like the concept of the game - but sitting through classless jokes and crude, passive aggressive behavior over and over was just so terrible that I created this account just to express how much Ben Gleib has ruined a good show. Again, I've only watched a few episodes but it's chaotic. Just listen to him and watch the behavior of the contestants! I know uncomfortable when I see it because I've experienced it! Had the show had an actually funny host- I think it would be perfect!

Good show. Very informative and creative.. Just one question: When asked the question of "who is off the rocker?" .. Jerry Seinfeld was the answer, accordingly. Granted Mick Jagger IS a rocker, I believe. So, isn't Mick off the rocker?

Question: Why are the " k " and " w " silent in the word " no "?

Thank you, Louis.

Idiotest is a really funny game show and I think Ben Glieb is the perfect host for this game. I don't think I would watch it if it had a different host. They did an April fools show where they got a different host to start it off and I didn't know it was the April fools episode, and I was immediately disappointed until Ben Glieb came on stage and they ultimately said "April fools." Then I laughed and was relived he was still the host. This game show makes you think. If people don't like it, maybe it is because they don't get it, or they never get the right answers. It has sarcastic humor which I really like so very much. It makes you have to pay attention which is a good thing! I am still hopeful they bring back this show with new episodes! In the meantime I'll keep watching the re-runs.

I started watching this on the Pluto streaming service. The host, Ben Glieb, really makes the show; he is that funny! Ben's interactions with the contestants provides a nice, personal touch; you almost feel like you know the contestants. The tests are fun to watch and try to solve. Many of the tests are incredibly easy, but some are at the level it would take a Mensa member to solve. I don't know how many full seasons the show has run, or whether it is still running, but I plan to continue to watch as many as I can. The one thing I can't believe, is how long reviews have to be to qualify for posting now!
