Ellen's Game of Games

It initially seemed like a good idea with the physicality of the games. But it seems rigged. In one segment of the show which I watched, the first person who got a question wrong was kept in the competition while the others were each dropped when they gave wrong answers. Also, the questions varied too widely with their difficulty within any given segment. It was like they already new who they wanted to wind and tried to work the game accordingly.

Can a show with this many special effects and so obviously scripted be truthfully called a "reality show?" This game seems mainly crafted to be a showcase for Ellen's standup and sitcom type of one liner humor.

Watched the premier of this and thought it was amusing. When the real season started, we tuned in again, but this time couldn't get through 10 minutes. Why - because the contestants were so obviously overplaying their enthusiasm and excitement that it was too annoying to sit through. Granted, we aren't really game show watchers, but have tuned into Jane Lynch's game show from time to time and enjoyed it, so thought this would be similarly enjoyed. We were wrong. Ellen lost us at the first bout of incessant squealing from the contestants.

I'm disappointed in Ellen. I thought she'd hold herself to a higher standard.

Somonka is a form of poetry that is essentially two tanka poems (the 5-7-5-7-7 syllable format), the second stanza a response to the first. Traditionally, each is a love letter and it requires two authors, but sometimes a poet takes on two personas. My somonka will be a love/hate letter to this film? #Somonka #PoemReview #TVSeriesReview #Comedian #GameShow
