  • Great show!

    Love this show so much! By the way, Karen, there is a modern day crystal maze, with the same concept, I am to young, at 13, to have watched the original, but it is still among my favorite game shows.

  • All the Alliterations are Awful!

    I hate Karen!!!

    The alliterations were fun for a while. Now it makes me cringe every time the show starts and I have to convince myself not to turn it off. We’re all impressed that you can pull words from the same section of a dictionary to make a ridiculous sentences. It takes more than having nouns and verbs in their proper places to make a sentence that people want to hear.
