Split Second

During the Money Round, host talks waaaay toooo slow. He needs to rapid fire questions like the hostess of Master Minds. It almost seems intentional that his pauses are long and he drags out the answer, especially if the contestant is getting answers correct. I haven't watched every episode, but I've never seen anyone win the $10,000. The host is fun and such a gentleman, but he has to be able or willing to read the questions faster. If the hand held is slow in bringing up the answers or questions, that needs to be switched out. Most of the contestants are smart enough to answer the questions - they just need a legitimate chance.

I like the concept of the show and have been watching it and have only seen 2 individuals win the Bonus round. The show's host reads the clues way TOO SLOW in the Bonus round. The only way that someone can when is if they get all the questions right. He even pauses in between reading the clues and is the reason there is such a poor win ratio for the Bonus round. He really needs to be replaced, I'm sure that he is a nice guy but this show needs to move faster in order for there to be more success.

The first part of the show is pretty good, the host's slowness is not much of a factor there so......

I like the show but it is ridiculous that the host just reads the final round way too slow. Hardly anyone ever wins. Possibly change the amount of questions. He only has 60 seconds and it takes him 45 seconds to read the clues which leaves the contestant with hardly any time to answer. He needs to speed it up and just say yes if they get the right answer. Way too slow. I like John Michael Higgins on America Days, but he galls short on Split Second. Maybe someone who can actually see the questions on his tablet or make the font much bigger. He seems to struggle with reading the questions. Otherwise, it's a pretty good show.

I like the show in general. The questions are not too hard for regular people to do well. And the host is mostly likeable, except for the extremely corny jokes he sprinkles in throughout the show.

But I find it frustrating to watch ties award everyone with the correct answer the same number of points.

Wouldn't it be better to reward the first correct answer more points than the second, which would get more than third? For example, a 3-way tie in the first round could award 30, 25 and 20 points instead of 25 points to everyone. A two-way tie could award 60 points for the first response and 40 for the second.

I agree with the majority here: the bonus round is just too many questions for 60 seconds - especially when the host wastes too much time correcting the wrong answers before moving on to the next question. I get that they don't want every single contestant to win, and it needs to present a certain degree of challenge, but the excitement at the end is subdued when you know they are very unlikely to win. Fewer questions or more time, please!

I find John Michael Higgins likeable enough, but I cannot bear the awful jokes and his stilted delivery. It sounds like they are being fed to him through his earpiece. And then he awkwardly laughs at them himself - because he suspects no one else will?

I watch in spite of this simply for the trivia - often phrased cleverly - and because I enjoy guessing at the answers myself.
