The 1% Club Australia

This is a great premise of a show and the questions are fun to answer as a family on a Sunday night. We first saw this show in London and were really excited to see an Australian version was going to be aired. Unfortunately, we stopped watching when all the host was doing was introducing smutty, sexual inuendo with the contestants. There is no need for that at 7pm on a Sunday night when people are looking for fun, family viewing with an intellectual twist. What audience are they trying to reach? The people watching Bravo are already watching their reality shows, the people looking for some housewives are watching their choices, where is the option for people who want something different? Our family will stop watching now, such a shame and waste of a potentially good show.

The Aussie host, Jim Jefferies, really needs to either be changed or totally and radically change his presentation skills (using the term loosely) He definitely should watch the UK host, Lee Mack, to see how he should present the show and indeed, himself. Jefferies tries too hard to be funny, he's crude and worst of all, the audience seems to believe they have to laugh at his not funny patter. Oh, and why does he have to shout all the time? Judging by all the very negative comments/reviews, it seems his hosting of this show (which in itself is a good format and fun to try to work out the questions) is going to be somewhat short lived.

Came to watch this Australian version after loving the UK one but the host is so bad and why does the show need to be so crass? It's a cheap, tired humour that isn't for the intelligent audience. I could understand if the demographics were young, silly simpletons but yes, change the host please. Also I wonder where they get the results from, ie who are they assessing to get the % samples?

Overall if you mute the show and just do the quizzes it's a great show. There is a pattern to the questions but it's still very entertaining. Hope to see more of the UK version soon also if they are running it.

Great show with in interesting questions. But the host is dreadful. He sounds drunk. He is insulting to the contestants. He never shuts up while the contestants are trying to answer the questions. He is obnoxious and way too loud. He shouts all the time. Contrast his style with that of Lee Mack on the UK version. They are like chalk and cheese. Lee is professional, Jim just tries too too hard and it is awful. Perhaps he will settle down but he has a long way to go to be good. But if you can get past him if is a really good show as it doesn't rely n general knowledge but the ability to see patterns and use logic. Some of the questions are quite challenging.

Great concept for a game and very reliant on the choice of compete to make or break it. I personally like Jim Jeffries as a comedian and in this show he is very risqué with fast one liners He does get away with a bit for the time slot but I doubt many kids are watching anyhow.

I can see some people with no sense of humour may not like him but I guess you dont have to watch it. He can be annoying talking through the questions if you are actually playing the game. Show is a great check on your IQ and very funny. It beats all the other channels in the tv ratings so it must be doing something right.
