Patton tries hard, but the questions are not engaging. Here are a few issues with the show:
1. The pace of the show is too slow. For the early/easy questions they provide the same response time as for the hard ones, so the viewer is just waiting for an obvious question to be answered.
2. Since there are 100 contestants the viewer does not get to know any of them so we don't care if they get kicked off the show. I see the contestants' numbers turn dark when they are booted, but there is no "walk of shame" off the stage or even an understanding of who the contestants are (other than some awkward Q&As with a small sample).
3. The questions are not interesting. Who cares if the contestant and tell one image is red while the other is checkered (actual "test" on the show)? Some of the questions should include facts so the viewer can occasionally learn something interesting.
4. Patton? He is a great comic, but he does not bond with people in the way a game-show announcer should with the contestants (e.g., Pat Sajak or Bob Barker). And his "jokes" during the show seem forced, like writers came up some on-liners that Patton could use at will.
Is there anything GOOD about the show? YES! The good part of the show was to figure out the reasons it was so horrible to watch.
