    Maddening and exciting.

    [The] first episode of this weeklong experiment does a creditable job building suspense, but it's hard to imagine the premise... possessing much staying power.

    It's only a few shades more adult than, say, playing with blocks.

    This show seemed like a good idea at first, and it was. i watched it every day it came on for a while, when it only came on once a week. Then it started coming on two and then three times a week.

    The show (originally) was great. But since the initial segments...the offers seem to have spiraled downward...which, to us, makes it boring and predictable. So why bother? The challenge is gone and we've lost interest. Howie , however, is great...as always! It's too bad...it was so much better in the beginning..never missed it!!!… Expand
