Split Second

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 trivia games. And game shows like "Jeopardy!" are my faves. "Split Second" doesn't come close to the quality of "Jeopardy!", but it is fast-paced. The keys to its likability are the level of trivia, which is not too challenging, and the affability of the host, John Michael Higgins.

Three contestants answer the same questions. If they answer first, they have a greater chance to win more points, so speed is a factor. Also, there is some strategy; if you answer the easier questions, it makes your opponent's task more difficult.

These Game Show Network offerings do not offer huge payoffs, but apparently they do not need to.

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 love this show but get so frustrated during the bonus round. The host reads way too slow and takes up almost 1/2 of the 60 seconds speaking. If someone gets the answer right they should just have a bell - instead of him saying "correct". Also when someone answers incorrectly he takes a second to think and then says "No, it's xxxx". Literally takes away precious time from an already short amount of time. And also contestants don't care about the correct answers in that moment.

Just a shame because the rest of the show is very good! The host is likeable for the most part and the questions are not too hard or too easy.

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.
