New York PostLinda Stasi
Huge fun and - if at all possible - almost as nerve-wracking as "Idol."

There is one fantastic thing about this show. It's only a half-hour.
Read Full Review >Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan
It's an intriguing idea for a reality show, and it more or less survives Fox's cheesy presentation.
Read Full Review >VarietyPhil Gallo
It's tough to get an audience to care for any of the players in a show that's just 30 minutes long.

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

Unan1mous, the worst new series this season, accomplishes the unthinkable: It makes Big Brother look respectable.
Read Full Review >Washington PostJohn 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.

Makes a solid bid to win the Most Unpleasant Reality Show of All Time award.
Read Full Review >Hollywood ReporterRay 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.

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.
Nick M gave it a0:
when you thought reality tv couldnt get any worse, along came this!! i hope someone is fired over this one!

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!
Andrea D gave it a10:
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.
