The Apprentice has
just started again! Oh, it feels so good for it to be back. I can’t wait to start really getting to know the new
hopefuls.
I used to be into The Apprentice,
but afer Mr. Trump badmouthed Roise O’Donnell, I haven’t even bothered to watch it.
Aww man ! I hate those box-and-whisker plots ! I got a 79 on a
test about it … not good . At least a get a break from it for a while … next stop : geometry ! 
I’m a big fan of shows that have already ended for some weird reason . My fav so far is
Friends . You gotta love " The One With Ross’ Sandwhich " . So funny
!
" You ate my sandwhich ?! " 
Here’s something. What’s
your favorite game show?
Reality shows aside, my favorite game show
would have to be a toss-up between Jeopardy! and [i]Who Wants to be a
Millionaire[/i]. Here’s a little piece of trivia for you: The last time someone won the top prize in
the U.S. version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire was 2003, when Nancy Christy
became the first woman ever to win a million dollars in an American game show. It’s kind of irritating that
it’s been that long…
Before I went to university, I watched the Game Show Network regularly, so I can
certainly be considered an avid game show fan.
I like Jeporday too. I still don’t think anyone will ever come close to beating Ken
Jenning’s record 74 apperances, but you never know…
Bill - Oh gosh, I was so
disappointed when Ken Jennings finally lost. I thought he would be on the show forever…as he was so good.
Jeopardy is also my favorite game show, with [i]Wheel of
Fortune[/i] and Who Wants to be a Millionare? following and second and
third respectively. See, Jeopardy tests your knowledge
and wit, so you learn while you have fun.
I wasn’t too disappointed at the time, because I actually thought (at the
time) that he was somewhat cocky… But afterwards, after reading a few articles about the guy, I realized that
he’s not a cocky person at all. I think it will be very hard for anyone to surpass Mr. Jennings’
Jeopardy! record. The closest any Jeopardy! player ever
came to his record was 19 wins in a row, by a grad student named David Madden. (Note, however, that Ken
Jennings’ 74-game winning streak is not a record if
all game shows are considered. Ian Lygo from the U.K. won 75 games in a row in this
game show called 100%. The odd thing is, he never actually lost a game - the
producers asked him to quit as an undefeated champ for some reason.)
Did any of you see the Ultimate
Tournament of Champions that they held a couple of years ago? Brad Rutter completely owned that
tournament…
Will any of you watch
the new competition show On the Lot ? I sure will, it’s executive produced by Steven Spielberg after all.
Here’s the website:
You can watch a video with Steven and Mark Burnett
talking about the show. Check it out.
I have recently drawn myself to watching old Nickelodeon game shows. Anyone rembered
these? Also, I watched some of Disney’s old shows when I was growing up.
Oh yea, I remember Double
Dare being one of the messiest game shows out therre! 
I loved Nickelodeon Guts and
Global Guts. And who could forget Legends of the Hidden Temple?
Did
anyone else see the primere of the new comedy sketch show, Thank God Your’e Here ? I could not believe how
funny it was. Take my advice: watch it. Oh, and Dave Foley (Flik from A Bug’s Life) is the judge. Now do I have
your’e attention? And each winner gets a nice trophy too.
Bill - Dave Foley is the judge?! Oh man, what channel is this
show on?
NBC, Monday nights at 8:00 and 8:30 as far
as I know.
Channel 4
Here’s the Wikipeida
article.
Bill - Thanks, Bill! Oh
gosh, I have to watch this. Dave Foley is my favorite Pixar voice actor…
You’ll die
of laughter I was cracking up 
Thank
you for the information Bill. I will be sure to check it out next monday.
You should! Jason Alexander will be on the
show next week! 
Okay Bill. I will do
my best. Hopefully, I will be in for a treat.
