The Quiz with Balls

They straight up screwed a team.

Episode 2 a team chose a category where they have to identify words that were originally acronyms.

They chose words like SCUBA, RADAR, and CAPTCHA. Two words. SPAM and Pog were also chosen. They got credit for choosing Pog and the judges said SPAM is not an acronym. SPAM as in the pork product. IS an acronym but spam as in an email term is not. Pog as in a military term is an acronym but Pog as in the game is not. The rules are unclear and it's just not a good show .

It's filled w mispronounced words and the families on the show are not relatable and just annoying.

I usually enjoy trivia type gameshows, but I find the host, Jay Pharough, very annoying! I think he's trying to use over-the-top theatrics to come up with different/new ways to say "release the balls!", but it's just not working. Also, I keep wishing he would change what he is wearing. He's worn the same bright red jacket and blue pants on all 3 of the shows that I've watched so far. Some of the families are a bit much too, with the "smack talk" given back and forth. I do find watching people get bumped into the water is mildly entertaining for me, though. :). I would give it a higher rating than 6, if it wasn't for the annoying host.

I love swimming, looks so much fun, questions challenging. Every time someone get dumbed, I want to jump in there, too. There is nothing that annoys me in this show so far. It's fun and easy to watch and easy to be distracted from as well. Missing a minute or two will not take anything essential away in my opinion. But this is just a first haphazardly watched episode. Maybe I'll change my tune about this show, and if I do hopefully will remember to edit this. Sorry this being too long but I still have to find 84 characters to be accepted here.

How about changing is so when they get it right, then we get dumped in the pool?

What's not to like? FAMILY FEUD (two teams of five family members face off against each other) meets WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE? (pretty tough multiple choice questions) meets WIPEOUT (large inflated rubberized objects knock losing contestants into a swimming pool). The more members a family loses, the tougher the multiple choices get, but if you can keep from losing any, the level of difficulty stays the same for the next round.

From reading other reviewers, apparently one or another of the three facets of the show can put some viewers off, but to me they compliment each other. There are other quiz shows where the host deliberately delays revealing the correct answers to pad out the length of the show which other reviewers here complain about the host of this show, but while that's usually a deal-breaker for me, this host isn't as guilty of it as others. I definitely look forward to the show and find the questions challenging.

We have a new summer game show from Fox, joining the likes of shows like Beat Shazam with Jamie and Corinne Foxx, and the new Don't Forget the Lyrics with Niecy Nash-Betts.

Now, we have The Quiz with Balls!

The premise of the show is simple: 2 teams of 5 players compete for a grand prize of $100,000 by answering trivia questions while avoiding getting wet. The harder the question, the harder it is to stay dry.

It's kinda giving Wipeout vibes but with one of the infamous parts of the show.

Quiz with Balls is hosted by Jay Pharoah, who was known for being on NBC's Saturday Night Live for 6 seasons, and he's pretty decent as the host of the show, with decent amounts of energy and makes this silly premise work.

So, in conclusion, a pretty decent show overall, and I wish it luck for its upcoming S2.
