Hello, all!
Let’s a question to end the week.
Ramble of the Day
A late night watch of Family Feud had me thinking: If you could compete on any game show, which would you pick? If it’s me, I’m probably picking Hollywood Game Night.
The show invites a number of celebrities to compete in two teams of four, captained by not-famous people. You’re tasked with random activities that require no specific skill set outside of knowing general pop culture facts, such as the game above: host Jane Lynch asks a question, someone is randomly selected to answer, and if you get it wrong, you get popcorn thrown at you.
It’s a lot of fun with only so much effort and skill, which is great because I’m pretty sure my skillset isn’t built for other television shows. I would be very frustrated with Family Feud, be bad at guessing prices on The Price is Right and Let’s Make a Deal. I don’t have the smarts for Jeopardy and I’ve seen some recent episodes of Wheel of Fortune to know I couldn’t get some of those random puzzles. This is nicely in the random skill set plus moderate level sweet spot for me.
tl;dr: What game show would you compete on?
