Dog Eat Dog

I think most of the negative comments here are way off base. Yes, they did screw up allowing the "Roosevelt" answer.

But anyone who thinks the physical challenges are easy just hasn't been watching much. You try holding your breath underwater for over 90 seconds! Get your butt out there and climb the rope in a heavy downpour in under 2 minutes! I'm pretty athletic, but I know I'd have some problems with some of those challenges. Anyone who says they're all easy is either in excellent shape (say Delta Force level), just not paying attention or deluded.

It was amazing in the latest episode that the egotistical Darin easily completed the first incredibly-hard challenge, but lost in the head-to-head challenge. It isn't just physical.

Yes the host, Brooke Burns, has to read the same tired rules every week for anyone watching who might be new. Yes, they're off a cue card. It doesn't mean she's an idiot.

But the show is STILL a lot of fun, and Brooke is a fantastic host. Besides being so sexy, I think it's great that she can be a person, rather than just a personality. So she can clown with the contestants, put her arm around them, etc. She MAKES this show.

And the strip-golf/hangman/football are tastefully done and make it more than just a physical challenge. No, the show isn't for pre-teens because of the idea of stripping. But adults should be able to handle it, since they blur out flesh that you'd normally see on a beach. It's interesting that the first woman I saw do one of these went all the way, yet none of the guys have bared it all! And they passed on the low-brow opportunity to have a strip challenge when the former Playboy Bunnies were on. I thought that showed some restraint.

My wife and I both love this show and it's a shame to see it dumped this fall.

The show does some challenges like the football one, There's also A challenge where you have to run on something and if you get a question wrong it speeds up to the next level. Then at the end the winning contestant and the dog pound get A chance to win $25,000. There sent to a camp where they face challenges and before the challenge begins the contestants vote for who is least likely to complete this event. And if they don't make it they're sent to the dog pound but if they do they get to choose one of the guys that voted for that person to go to the dog pound in their place.

I agree with the guy who thinks the criticism of B.B. as host is irrational. Maybe I'm being distracted by her looks, but I think she does a good enough job aside from the canned comments she is expected to deliver. Being a prior Baywatch actress is no reason to automatically qualify Burns as an idiot, which is the conclusion many seem to be jumping too.

Other than that, I think the premise behind Dog Eat Dog is refreshing. Yes, they did overdo the strip tease themed events, but overall I've found most of them interesting to watch, and better than most of the stuff on Fear Factor and the incredibly lame Survivor events (of late). I do think they should broaden the final Top Dog v Pound confrontation somewhat, seeing as how common knowledge is a weak point for many of the contestants on the show (although the TD does need the event biased towards them I suppose).

Good show, and if anything is changed when it returns, it should be minor.

Dog Eat Dog isn't what you call a grown-up version of Double Dare or another American Gladiators rip-off, it's a show where you either play with pride or money with 6 people. 1 day before taping, they were whisked away to camp where they had to learn their Phys. Ed. skills and when it was over, it was time for the game to start. Once Brooke Burns describes the challenge to the contestants, it was time to vote who would end up failing this challenge and if so, he/she got sent to the "Dog Pound" where it didn't involve you catching a dog with a butterfly net, but if he/she won, then he/she will pick who got sent to the pound by the person who voted for him/her and that, my friends, is simple.

When it was down to just 2 players left, it was time for a Head-to-Head challenge where it was either a scoring competition or mostly an endurance competition, the winner became Top Dog and went to the final round in a best of 5 contest. If the Dog Pound wins it, 5 members will each get $5000, but if one person wins, he/she alone will win $25,000.

25k is a measly amount of money, especially losing it to the Dog Pound, but the stunts were harder and it might be difficult to complete it, but Dog Eat Dog in my case, is a best in show winner all-around.

You know exactly why you tune into Dog eat dog each weekend on GSN - Brooke burns is a sexy lady and watching women swim in their bikinis (and if you're a lady, watching all the fit and thin guys go shirtless.) generally, the only reason Dog Eat Dog was so popular, was it's sex appeal. You cannot deny it.

And if any of you caught my older review of this, I wrote it at the tender age of 14. I was a stupid, brainwashed, sheltered teen who should've had a less radical Christian upbringing.

The game goes as follows - 3 guys and 3 girls are sent to a camp to get to know each other in multiple categories, and the next day they're brought to the studio to play the game. depending on whom they believe is weak for the challenges that are laid out for them, they must vote out a specific person for that challenge, until it is down to 2 of the contestants, who go head to head, in which the winner faces all the eliminated contestants in the "Dog Pound" and he or she must pick the eliminated contestants to answer the questions. if the dog pound gets 3 questions right, they each win $5,000 where if they get 3 questions wrong, the last contestant standing wins $25,000.

Back when the show debuted, I had just turned 12 and pretty much went bonkers over the show. any 12 year old hitting puberty would love to watch women 10 years his senior strip down to bikinis (and even less on the strip-games.) but of course the same went for girls watching guys 10 years their senior doing the same.

Bottom line, Dog eat Dog is on GSN on the Weekends.
