Idiotest

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.

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!

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

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

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.
