New York Post Linda Stasi

Huge fun and - if at all possible - almost as nerve-wracking as "Idol."

Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman

There is one fantastic thing about this show. It's only a half-hour.

50

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan

It's an intriguing idea for a reality show, and it more or less survives Fox's cheesy presentation.

40

Variety Phil Gallo

It's tough to get an audience to care for any of the players in a show that's just 30 minutes long.

People Weekly Tom Gliatto

The show makes Survivor look like a utopia. [17 Apr 2006, p.43]

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen

I'll give "Unan1mous" this: At least it's more efficient than some reality shows, wasting only a half-hour of a viewer's time. But that's still 30 minutes you don't have to spend wallowing in this muck.

Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker

Unan1mous, the worst new series this season, accomplishes the unthinkable: It makes Big Brother look respectable.

Washington Post John Maynard

Do not be suckered into watching Fox's torturous new game show "Unan1mous," which in a half-hour crams in several of the worst reality show gimmicks and crosses the border of tastelessness... all while remaining flat-out dull.

Miami Herald Glenn Garvin

Makes a solid bid to win the Most Unpleasant Reality Show of All Time award.

0

Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond

It feels far closer to genre self-parody than it does the genuine article: wildly overproduced and characteristically overbearing, with a concept that plays as utterly insipid.

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert

It's the new bottom of the barrel.

Ok, so mabey it wasn't the best show in the world, I admit it. I just watched it because I know one of the cast members very well. But it was NOT scripted and they were NOT paid actors. Everything was REAL. So everyone just get over it already.

The series finale was a nice twist as no1 expected seeing tara walking away with the money... but the show all in all was as scripted as Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch, the plot was as surprising as seeing Brokeback Mountain not winning an award at the Oscars, the show itself as exciting as American Inventor. Do i expect to see a second season of this show? No with a capital N.

Best show ever!

I think this was nerve racking and frustrating just how we like it. A few good twist. I would have liked to see more phyisical activities and brain pwoer maybe. And a little s e x never hurts either or love.

TERRIBLE! Thank God it's over. Fox, here's a clue - shoot the next exec who has a new idea for another awful "reality" show. Who's reality do you live in? Complete and utter shoddy television. Although I'm glad to see Doogie Howser's career was revived as a computerized host.

Migo G gave it a0:
Worst show of all time. Who is that host? He looks like he needs to be shoved back in his locker.
