whats the worst game show we have

what is the worst the tv game show we have

i think it is the chase
there is very little chance of the contestants winning anything
everything is biased towards the chaser by not having to buzz in just answer .
and the speed you can lock in your answer and put the other person under pressure
then you have the controvery over the timer when it stretched out to let the chaser catch

what do you think is the worst and why

Seconded. Unless your a celebrity of course, they seem to win on it a lot. Must be very smart people...

Winning Streak. For a game based entirely on luck, it relies too heavily on (bad) computer graphics. Also, a contestant could win €35,000, a holiday and a brand new car and they'll still look like they've just received bad news about a close relative.

Yup, whenever I'm in Tesco's (or SuperValu's or Aldi's or Lidl's) at the self-service checkout, and I hear the beep, I think of the fun I could be having on Supermarket Sweep.

Tipping Point.

TV Executive: "Let's make a large version of a money grabbing carnival game and build a show around it. People will lap it up!"

And sadly they do

One for the purists I suppose.

Tough questions and a good standard of contestant. No gobdaws were getting on that show.

I showed that to an american housemate once. She was completely confused by it.

I beg to differ.

I was on it about 20 years ago.

Winning Streak for the relatively **** prizes given that the people have already won entry via a lottery draw at very low odds.

Crap graphics like something from murphys MicroQuism and RTE 1980's humour based around treating people who are from the country as imbeciles

Anyone ever see 'Golden Balls' presented by Jasper Carrot?

It's the most tedious watch ever.

That must be a pretty stupid housemate so.

Winning Streak is one confusing heap.

Other than Winning Streak, do we have game shows? All I see is UK shows such as The Chase, and Tipping Point, repeated constantly on TV3. Going by that, I will have to say Winning Streak. Although worthy mention should go to Eamonn Dunphy, when he tried to be all Anne Robinson, on our version of The Weakest Link.

I meant Deal or no Deal....! (Been out of the country for a while!)

15 to 1 was ok to watch, but you wouln't want to be a contestant on it.

It reminds me too much of my deceased grandparents. They lived for that show and all things lottery related.

I only get sad now if I see it on.

But let’s make the questions easy so people will think they are smart.

Fifteen to One was the best quiz show ever.

I can barely remember it but we used to have Where in the World.

She couldn't see the point in the show. They just push buttons and get prizes. there's no skill involved at any level.

I didn't even know there are questions on it. I thought it was just the coin dropping bit. I've never watched it fully just browsed onto it one day then put my head in my hands in despair for humanity. I had similar reactions when I first saw Gogglebox and Piers Morgan.
