Raid the Cage

I'm so surprised that when the cameras point to the audience members...they're not snoring and fast asleep! This is the most boring game show I have ever watched in the 54 years I have been watching television! The questions are meant for a third grade education and then what a ridiculous concept to go inside a room( the cage) and try and grab as much as you can in whatever time frame the contestant had been given.its not that it doesn't make sense...its just UNDERWHELMING! And everyone on the show including Damon Wayons( who seems like he really doesn't want to be there and acts like his dad...he's not that great of an actor) acts like they just did the most unbelievable thing and they actually didn't do anything that exciting in the first place! And who's the little sidekick of Damon's....shes so friggin annoying!!!! She has this..." Yo you can do it Bro!" artisans character...it's like "calm down sweetie...this isn't a current 1st grade classroom climbing up a rope in gym class!" I keep hoping someone will drag her into The Cage and find a deep howl and drop her in it and then leave The Cage and keep her there with the rest of the crew and producers!!!!

Did anyone ever notice one of the brother flipping the camera off when they were getting recorded celebrating?

Just wondering lol

Otherwise, good show, comical

I felt that things were overlooked. But who am I to say. I like guessing the answers before they answer. I love trivia. You are NEVER too old to learn something new. I felt it was worth watching and I actually told my daughter about it. Now you know I wouldn't have told her about it if I knew it had the "finger" in it. (if my daughter had been that young, she is actually 20) If you like trivia and game shows it's definitely worth watching.

It's a cool game seems very fun but Jennie Mai cheated contestants out of a chance of winning on the episode that aired. Wednesday, January 22nd. The contestants didn't make out the cage in time her arm got caught in the door and she said the contestants made when they clearly didn't. The contestants before them made it out in time but she cheated them out of a chance to win. If it's a timed game show shouldn't you be completely out the cage before the doors shut? The door closed on the contestants arm while she was still in the cage. Everybody should have the same rules on this game show.....

It is a fun concept and Jeannie's enthusiasm is great. But the one thing they are missing is there is no real way for the audience to 'play along' at home.

We can answer the questions along with the contestants but once they head into the cage we really don't have much of an idea of what is in there and what it is worth. We can see the large items but that is it.

If they gave us a bit more of a shot of the layout of the cage, showed us what small items where there, where they were and their price range, we could root for the player to head to that area and do the classic 'I'd go for the....'

As it is we are left wondering what they are grabbing and thinking "was there a more expensive item somewhere?" Is grabbing a go-cart better than a couple laptops? Is an LED facemask expensive? Is a retro-mini-fridge worth it? We don't know so we can't get excited about what they are getting or leaving. Even if it wasn't an exact price just a number of dollar signs indicating a high or lower price shown on our screen would work.

This program reminds me of the fake commercial they showed in the movie for the game show "Climbing for Dollars" where the contestants had to climb a rope and shove money in their shirt. Angry dobermans were below barking and growling to give climbers incentive. In the commercial at the last moment the climber falls down to the dogs.

All these kinds of idiotic game shows need are the angry Dobermans to give incentive. I've no doubt soon we will see the dobermans and more to make them more edgy. It makes me sad that this is what passes for entertainment these days.

The television is the source of all evil.
