| COMMENTS *Simply, a very bad show. Lots of rarely played games couldn't save this one... Tera was the only contestant that was at all likable, and even she was only average. *The high point in the show was a small blooper on Rod's part, that went almost unnoticed--on the fourth item up for bids, Rod accidentally started giving the prize description immediately after saying what the prize was... unfortunately, neither Bob nor Rod made a deal of it, which is a shame, since it could've been the sole redeeming factor of the show. *Kathleen was in a dog suit during the first showcase. *Michael took a few seconds before realizing he won the third IUFB before coming up on stage. *Seriously, I can't think of anything else worth commenting on... |
