Battle of the Generations

Le Grand Frommage. This is one of the cheesiest game shows to come out of Canada since toasters where one of the prizes.

Can it get any worse without actually trying to be a parody of those shows?

Lilly Singh's overblown forced exuberance, and inability to project an iota of honest interest is #Epic on the cringworthiness scale.

The scripted humour seems to comes from a failed high school drama program that always finishes last in any competition.

The failed enthusiasm and humour from the contestants is so forced, their friends will be teasingly reminding them of it until their dying day.

Managed to persevere through 2 episodes but will willingly claw out my own eyes before watching a third.

This show idea had the potential to be really good, but it's just atrocious. The pacing is too slow. I shouldn't feel bored watching a game show. The dumbest contestant ended up playing for the main prize. He gets almost every final question wrong, but because there are a million second chances, he still wins. The questions are really basic. The format would work better if the contestants all played against each other in a much faster pace. The elimination of contestants is more luck based rather than on their trivia skills. The host tries too hard with cheesy puns. The big prize is $25,000. Don't waste your time.

I really wanted to like this show. I like the premise and thought it would be great to get some trivia knowledge spanning 4 generations. However the pace is just too slow. Even after the intros for each contestant the questions are too few and the answer far too long winded. The set design looks modern but at times it feels like the host and contestant could be in different rooms. And the lack of a studio audience, to react, also gives the show an artificial feel. Speed up the show, add more quick questions and forget all the back and forth chatter. And Lilly, you are a good host, just stop trying so hard and always having a one-liner. This is not your late night show. I gave show 1 my full attention and show two was split into several viewings. Haven't even wanted to try the third show yet! Sadly I feel I am being generous with two stars.

Had a hard time watching the first episode. The dialogue feels so scripted, forced and artificial with cheesy one-liners and cocky contestants.. The host needs to cut down on the energy drinks and contestants need to answer the questions without turning it into a blog-esque thesis. No way this show lasts. Must be one of those filler shows to keep people employed. The set is insanely large and disproportionate and some of the camera views show a disconnect between the host snd contestants. The premise of the show has potential, the execution has failed miserably. I'd rather watch paint dry than continue watching this train wreck.

This show has an entertaining concept, but its execution falls flat. The introductory segments, where contestants boast about themselves and their generation, come across as awkward. The absence of a live studio audience reacting to the contestants' answers and the host's banter makes the show feel dull. A larger budget might have elevated the production quality and made the show more engaging. Interestingly, there's speculation that season 2 was intended to include a live studio audience, but there's been no official word on when or if it will be released. Canada can do better than this flop.
