Split Second

I like trivia games. And game shows like "Jeopardy!" are my faves. "Split Second" doesn't come close to the quality of "Jeopardy!", but it is fast-paced. The keys to its likability are the level of trivia, which is not too challenging, and the affability of the host, John Michael Higgins.

Three contestants answer the same questions. If they answer first, they have a greater chance to win more points, so speed is a factor. Also, there is some strategy; if you answer the easier questions, it makes your opponent's task more difficult.

These Game Show Network offerings do not offer huge payoffs, but apparently they do not need to.

Please.

Michael , stop telling your very bad jokes. You are not funny. I like the show , but I seriously can't watch it much longer if you don't stop with your horrible jokes. If You used to be a comedian, I now understand Why you are a game show host.

The only other part that's annoying is the last and final round. I think the host is a little too slow, And having the audience start clapping in the middle of the round Seems to be intentional to distract the contestant. Maybe i'm spoiled by the quickness of the mastermind host.

It just seems like that last sixty second round is done very sloppy.

Have to agree with others about the Bonus Round. I've watched people win, but with very little time to spare. John Michael Higgins reads too slow, and same when it's answered wrong. Instead of "wrong, it's... ______." That part needs work. It's also a good thing to be smart and correctly answer the questions, and the bonus round can be won in 60 seconds.

Fun game show, and so is JMH, who's a veteran host of shows and movies.

It's like any trivia game, but to answer the easy ones you better hit that signaling device within a Split Second! And it seems like all the game shows top money prize is capped at $10k....this and a few others are brand new on GSN, and it's nice that the new seasons have started after all the writer's/actor's strikes....

I like the concept of the show and have been watching it and have only seen 2 individuals win the Bonus round. The show's host reads the clues way TOO SLOW in the Bonus round. The only way that someone can when is if they get all the questions right. He even pauses in between reading the clues and is the reason there is such a poor win ratio for the Bonus round. He really needs to be replaced, I'm sure that he is a nice guy but this show needs to move faster in order for there to be more success.

The first part of the show is pretty good, the host's slowness is not much of a factor there so......

I love this show but get so frustrated during the bonus round. The host reads way too slow and takes up almost 1/2 of the 60 seconds speaking. If someone gets the answer right they should just have a bell - instead of him saying "correct". Also when someone answers incorrectly he takes a second to think and then says "No, it's xxxx". Literally takes away precious time from an already short amount of time. And also contestants don't care about the correct answers in that moment.

Just a shame because the rest of the show is very good! The host is likeable for the most part and the questions are not too hard or too easy.
