Idiotest

As game shows go, this one is entertaining and makes you think. The problems or puzzles to solve are alternately tricky, straightforward and slightly sophomoric but all in all fun to participate in. The host, along with the show, grows on you, as he banters with generally young contestants vying for paltry prize amounts. He remains supportive and congenial through the sarcasm and unlike most game show hosts, can't readily 'mail in' his performance, much of which is improvised or at least appears to be. Think you're bright? Try playing along and see how well you do! The show would benefit from a more diverse group of contestants, e.g., how about more folks over 30 or even 50? And maybe the producers could scrounge up more money for contestants to battle over; a thousand dollars or so per winning pair and nothing for the losing pair is peanuts compared to many other game shows.

People are too judgmental in their reviews I love the show Ben gleib is funny and it think he is a great host the tests are fun and challenging yes sometimes it gets a little inappropriate but over all it's a great and original show for the whole family

Good show. Very informative and creative.. Just one question: When asked the question of "who is off the rocker?" .. Jerry Seinfeld was the answer, accordingly. Granted Mick Jagger IS a rocker, I believe. So, isn't Mick off the rocker?

Question: Why are the " k " and " w " silent in the word " no "?

Thank you, Louis.

Unlike straightforward quizzers, Idiotest rewards lateral thinking under pressure. It has one of the highest play-at-home scores in recent memory. Its puzzles can be tough, but always fair. You have to stay on your toes: is there a missing apostrophe that completely changes the question? Can any word be interpreted in a different way?

It's a delight to play along. Yes, the snarky humour will annoy some viewers, but you can hardly fault the gameplay itself. Idiotest is a hidden gem.

I started watching this on the Pluto streaming service. The host, Ben Glieb, really makes the show; he is that funny! Ben's interactions with the contestants provides a nice, personal touch; you almost feel like you know the contestants. The tests are fun to watch and try to solve. Many of the tests are incredibly easy, but some are at the level it would take a Mensa member to solve. I don't know how many full seasons the show has run, or whether it is still running, but I plan to continue to watch as many as I can. The one thing I can't believe, is how long reviews have to be to qualify for posting now!
