    I want to marry Mark L Walberg, oh yeah, the show's good, too

    THIS SHOW IS AWESOME. What genius came up with the idea of people falling through holes in the floor. My father doesn't watch much television, but when he does, he often talks about how the "boob tube" has gone completely, well, down the tubes. When he watches Russian Roulette, he gets so excited! Anytime someone falls he just goes into fits of giggles. The questions are really challenging and seeing people fall down holes (and they're genuinely scared) is just good quality television.

    Mark L. Walberg is absolutely adorable, and I am so glad to see that he has moved on from Temptation Island. He is really funny and obviously is pleased to see people drop through the floor. Two thumbs up for Russian Roulette and its charming host!

    Would make a great board game...

    This is actually a pretty good game show. Some of the previous writers already explained the rules. What makes the game show good?

    It is the host. He's mildly sadistic. Although diplomatic and somewhat humorous during normal play, he commonly says he loves watching people fall and even sports a smug grin after it happens.

    The questions during the 1st round are very easy. It's very common for the round to end via time limit. This is the one problem with the show. You can have one player with $0, one with $1000, and two with $500 and the person with 0 dollars has the same chance of survival as the people with $500.

    The third round is actually the most interesting. The questions during that round are relatively challenging (at least 1 question is generally missed in the 3rd round) and you can actually answer the questions yourself.

    The 10 questions you're required to answer at the end are actually not difficult, but time is against you. You can play RR one final time for 100K, but very few people do... if you win, you usually only have 1 drop zone left, meaning there's an 83% chance you'll lose the 10K. That's the other thing I would change. You should get a free drop zone... and you should have to pull the level no matter what (standing on the drop zone), but have the choice of risking your cash.

    Not Garbage!

    This show actually is quite entertaining, although I admit it would be better if it were for more money, but that's not bad. The host is good, the show is good... give it a chance.... once you watch it, I'm sure you can get hooked on it as quick as any other of the other shows out there.

    A brilliant game show.

    "Russian Roulette" is a great game show. The falling down holes concept is interesting, memorable contestants are cast and host Mark L. Walberg is great. He actually has personality and makes jokes unlike many of the other hosts on Game Show Network. Sadly, it looks like it will be canceled in a matter of weeks. Good luck Russian Roulette.

    Fun game show

    First off, I must say that this is a fun game show. Also, I haven't seen every episode. However, I do know the show very well. Every time I've watched it, I've had a lot of fun playing along and watching. This makes me long to be a contestant. The thing I like most about it are the questions. Despite the fact that I don't know that many answers, I still have fun playing along. I hope that the Game Network keeps it on so I can play along and watch for a while. If that happens, I will be really happy. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever. Now, in conclusion, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.
