For the first time since October 10, 2003, two contestants llamaed today.
And a total of five contestants were in the Hot Seat.

Ah, so they didn't cut anything out....
I did warn you that this show would be memorable.
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

I am only halfway through the show and I am just plain embarrassed.
2 llamas followed by a thousand dollar winner - who left his LLs on the table!
Goodness.

(channeling Kazoo here)
Is it time to lobby TPTB to do what Survivor is doing, and giving ten "superfans" the chance to play? I don't even LIKE that show and the concept is tempting me to watch. I can't believe that SyndieBAM is keeping their audience with contestants performing this badly.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I see I wasn't the only one that was embarrased after watching the show today. At least the transcriptionist won't have much typing to do.
What this show needs is an online test. They might get smarter people that can actually answer the questions without needing to waste lifelines.
Or they could have a contest where they post trivia questions on their website and the people that get the most right are chosen to be on the show.
This was sad.
I'm just a game show nerd.

Kazoo, if you highlight your text and click the button above it on the right that says Spoiler, folks who haven't seen the show yet won't have the experience ruined.
Thanks.

I think many around here are going to hate me for saying this, but I'm going to say it anyway.
Was a day like today really such a bad thing for the show? Sure, people watch to see some big winners occasionally (of which I agreee, there haven't really been enough). But, viewers also tune in to see people crash and burn on relatively easy questions that they can say "He was an idiot. I knew that one soooo easily!"
I believe that days like today actually boost ratings. Let me ask you this, would you rather have a WWTBAM that has things go like this sometimes, or would you rather not have WWTBAM at all (except in reruns)?

At least the pace of the show is faster

And I am only halfway through.

Was it also three contestants in a row without one LL used?
