When this show first debuted I didn't watch it. I would just go to the end to see what celebrity they were related to but it wasn't much fun because I didn't know the contestants and wasn't invested in their stories because I didn't know anything.

Some point during Season 3, I finally watched an episode in full and I was hooked. I really thought it was going to be stupid with a bunch people living together but I was 100% wrong.

So, I went and binged watched season 1 and season 2 and I felt so stupid for not giving it a chance. I really missed out because I already knew who a lot of them were related to.

Now for Season 3 I've seen all the episodes in full and will continue to do that for every season that comes out.

It's not stupid at all. There are a lot of fun personalitites and the trickery that goes on is fun. The guessing is the best part. I also like the games which are a bit over the top sometimes but they're related to discovering clues to who's related to who so that makes it much more fun.

I still don't get the talent show part at the beginning of the seasons. But that's the only one.

I hope this stays on forever and I hope they release 2 seasons a year.

It's phenomenal. Brings me so much joy.

A few things I don't like about it is the voto booth part, it takes way too long and I'm impatient.

The fact that they let it be known who the celebrity relative is if someone has guessed it correctly.

The clues are too easy sometimes and it's so obvious who the celebrity relative is. Like in Season 3 with Dedrick, that was so obvious. You could bet money on that without a care.

At the end of Season 3, for some odd reason one of the final 3 told 2 former contestants who he was related to right before the finale and not only was that stupid (I get that he felt no one would be able to guess him because he had all the cards in his hand but still) but they also told the audience at home.

How cool would it have been to be completely surprised at who his relative was on the finale. Just edit out that part.

No one guess that person, they were focused on a different genre so it would have been a huge surprise for the audience at home.

I see that are fixing it especially after season 1 but they could do a bit better at concealing the celebrity identities for as long as possible. Some parts just need to be edited out.

But, I don't care whatever I love this show!

While the show is not perfect, it is a good way to pass half an hour. The mystery dynamic of attempting to figure out relationships is what keeps the show engaging and entertaining. That said, the show does attempt to rely too heavily on drama when the real intrigue is attempting to decode the relationships. I feel this show has potential, but some changes need to be made for this to be viable for a second season.

I'd say it's more of a 9.5 rating, because it could use a couple of tweaks. But first.....

Some of these bad reviews are just being silly. It may not be your cup of tea but some of those descriptions are so juvenile. 🙄

My favorite things: I loved all the puzzles and clues. All of the challenges were unique and interesting and I loved the one hour format, because they used that time wisely. I personally enjoyed learning more about these individuals and the 'confession chair' was informative, and a lot of fun. Many people like a 30 minute run time because TV trains attention spans to be very, very short. Aren't there enough crazy, over the top, dramatic shows out there? Ones that allow, neigh, encourage extreme negative behavior? They're just a chance to show the very worst of yourselves to the whole world. The more outlandish and over the top, the better the ratings.

This show is a little more meaty than that. And, while each character was a bit of an jerk on occasion, it was more the nature of advancing in the game than getting to behave consequence free. This game was meant for the contestants as well as the viewers.

This show wanted to showcase the contestant's personality, knowledge, puzzle and problem solving capabilities and strategy efforts. And I love that the time format allowed for that.

My biggest complaint is similar to some other reviews here. I wish that none of the contestants revealed to us who they were, right up front. Not sure why they left that up to the contestant because I'd guess most viewers wanted to play along too. The ones that didn't reveal, created fun audience participation. I really enjoyed working those out as the show went on.

I loved the dynamic of the contestants. Yes, there was some drama. But nothing cut throat.

Logan was my favorite person. Only one person really made a fool out of themselves, and that was on their departure. Just really a very unfortunate, ugly display of nastiness.

I really do hope the ratings are there for them to do a second season. What a breath of fresh air!

I'm on episode three and this is the first reality show I've seen that actually revolves around strategy and alliances to win. Instead of pointless carnival games and calling each other fake while ugly crying before getting voted out by group mentality, the contestants actually have to think about what they are doing, and use their information to play the game. Even the mini challenges are interesting, because what matters more than winning is the clues they get from said challenges, and losing on pupose can also be a strategy. On top of that the contestants are fun and likeable, and there's the intrigue of finding out who they really are. There's some classic big brother drama here and there but it's mostly light. Also, having the 'Jonas Brothers' Brother and his Brother as hosts is top meme.

I don't understand a single negative review. This show is amazing! For anyone who loves shows like Big Brother and games with a lot of strategy, this show has it all! I highly recommend... which I understand is meaningless because you don't know me... but either way, it's a better show than it sounds like it would be. Much better!

Logan and LC are the new greatest reality show duo's in history. Anyone disagree? Fight me. I hope it gets a season two! If it doesn't I will cry a lot and nobody needs that. Especially not my partner. He would be so furious with all of you if you allowed that to happen.
