Game of Talents

There really is a startling lack of new ideas and creativity in the world of game shows these days, especially on Fox at the moment.

Like "I can see your voice?" No? Well, too bad! In a blatant rip-off of that game show's format, players guess people's hidden talents based on their superficial looks. So, "I can see your voice", but with...talents?

It's really weird.

Also odd is that mostly truly talented people (at whatever it is that they do) would even be on this show, because their act is ultimately...pointless? After a contestant makes their guess, the talent performs (sometimes very) intricate routines, but there's no point to any of it from a gameplay perspective. It's all just time filler.

The show is whatever, background entertainment. I agree with everyone's comments of the final round structure, aggravating that only last round counts to win, makes the lead up dumb. Wayne will always be a plus for me. But the audio on performances.... 1 episodes issues fine but you should have it mixed now, it actually angers me how the audio adjusts so much.

The rules of the game are kind of silly, as others have pointed out. At the $60k round things go wrong and it just doesn't seem to make much sense at that point since $60k is more than can be earned in all previous rounds. I can sort of see why they did that to avoid any chance of a tie, but it's a tacky solution.

Another problem is the clues, which are really inconsistent. You are supposed to ignore some clues but focus in on others for no reason other than the producers care more about drama than having a decent game show?

The next issue is the acts, which granted are kind of the secondary aspect of the show, but regardless MOST of them are things we've seen ad nauseum or just not that good.

Finally let's get into the issue of stereotyping. This is the poster-child for what is wrong in this country right now. From the show requiring the contestants to comment on acts based solely on looks to sob stories about being treated differently because of XYZ, you'll be cringing constantly during this show.

Stars are all for my favorite man, Wayne Brady, 5/5 stars for him, 0/5 stars for the show! The premise is not entertaining and the gameplay is borderline annoying. Remove the contestant game overlay and just let Wayne find new, amazing talent to show off and give the acts that money based on each show alone then maybe a finale show. (AFHV style)

Wayne Brady hosts this series that is part talent show and part game show. Two teams of two compete, trying to win money by predicting what talents certain performers have. This is done by observing visual and audio clues in a brief video. There are six performers in each episode.

Like many game shows now, this one features a large construction onstage in the form of a huge, circular wall that is lifted to reveal the hidden talents.

The contestants can win large paydays, often over $100,000.
