What is this Butterworth prize everyday or so? Isn't this just a clothing co. For men? What are the girls supposed to enjoy for their efforts? Also there is no info about the length of the vacation prize. Two days, or 5 .
So unfair when the celebrities blow it. It's usually a new celebrity's first time and they just blow it. I think they should have to practice till they can do it in a timely manner. Ruins a lot of good players games, by overextending themselves by picking words they have no idea how to give clues to or being so unaware of the time they are wasting just stumbling around. It's really annoying when you watch them lose the game for the players by their ineptness. Need to be more rigorous screening the celebrities it's not about them it's about the contestants. They take chances and don't deliver the goods. Two days in a row this celeb makes contestants lose. Needs to be removed.
To add to my previous review, I just discovered that the trips they give DO NOT include transportation! Unbelievable...
We do love this game show, but it is disappointing and almost embarrassing to see the laughably cheap consolation prizes they award to the super fan and the losing contestants. A copy of their home game?? $250 worth of Avon skin care products? A gift certificate for Buttercloth??? Good lord, how cheap can they be? Contestants and the Super Fan deserve so much more.
We also watch $100,000 Pyramid and it is astonishing how much money the contestants can make. The $10,000 grand prize in 25 Words Or Less pales in comparison.
Oh, and what's up with the fake audience sounds?? Can they not afford a theater with a live audience?

This game show reminds of the classic Password with a faster pace. Fun with words.
I really enjoy this show, and the current format is better than original, but the celebrities have too great a role in determining whether or not their team wins. Repeatedly during the show, contestants are reminded that the outcome of the game is really determined by the round in which their team celebrity constructs an answer board and gives the clues for it. Celebrities determine who wins or loses by the answer boards they create in that final competitive round. It sometimes seems like they aren't really playing to get their team to win. 2 teams of 3 contestants would allow contestants to win or lose based on THEIR choices in that round, instead of letting the celebrities run things. I can't help but think that some losing teams go home believing they would have won if they could have had the power to make the answer board and give the clues themselves. I would watch (even prefer) the show without the celebrities. However, if celebrities and their banter seem essential to the show, then at least let the contestants choose who is to make that answer board and lead that final round. One of the contestants OR the celebrity would play based on the contestants' choice. Then, win or lose, it was their choice.
