Russian Roulette

OK, we have a good host and a good announcer, and a HORRIBLE show. It's good that it's a quiz show, but the "falling down the hole" baloney is just that, baloney. And the set is cruddy too. It's darker than the "Weakest Link" set, and I didn't even think that was possible! The ads that Game Show Network runs for the show are horrible too. Whoever concocted this cr@p should be dropped down a trapdoor that they can't get out of!

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.

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.

"Russian Roulette is a cool game show.

I love "Russian Roulette". I've been watching it on the game show network for two years now. The questions are of general knowledge so its fun to play along with and I even play along on the computer sometimes. I like it when the people drop, tho I really want to know where they drop to.

Mark L. Walberg is a good host for the show. Plus he is really HOT! Everyone should give this show a chance if they see it on.(weekdays at 3:30 pm eastern time and Saturdays nights) I give this show 10/10 stars and hope to see more people win the $100,000!

The show is a simple one, but a fun one nevertheless. The questions aren't too hard overall so it's pretty easy to play along. And, I gotta say, watching contestants fall through trapdoors is just fun to watch.

I read they fall about six feet to the padding below. Well, you'd have to figure it's got to be a descent drop since the contestant vanishes out of sight.

This is one of my favorite Game Show Network Originals. I have fun playing along and watching contestants take the fall. Mark makes a good host. He keeps the the show on pace and interacts well with the contestants.

Give this show a chance and just have some fun viewing!
