Quiz with Balls

Me and my husband love the Quiz with Balls game show and I really question anyone that doesn't! It's energetic, fun, and informative which is hard to find in most game shows! The questions and categories are challenging, yet fun, and I think that's why we love it so much. The episodes are just the right length and comedian Jay Pharoah is the icing on the cake, he's simply perfect as a host for this show!

I would love to see an episode where the opposing teams get to pick the game show quiz category for each other to amp up the fun even more! I really hope the network execs continue to renew this show and not drop it suddenly and without warning like more and more of these streaming stations are doing. We just found Quiz with Balls by accident and now we're hooked!!!

For the review saying a family was screwed in episode 2, you are very wrong. You should have done your research before showing your ignorance. Spam, the pork product, is a portmanteau of the words "spiced ham". You'll need to look that up, I'm sure. In case you don't, a portmanteau is the blending of words and sounds and meanings, like "brunch" for breakfast. Spam as in the unwanted email one might receive is also, not an acronym, as you already stated. This is a perfect example of someone thinking they are smarter than then giving a show a poor rating due to their own lack of knowledge. And if you think the rules of this game show are confusing, don't watch jeopardy.

We have a new summer game show from Fox, joining the likes of shows like Beat Shazam with Jamie and Corinne Foxx, and the new Don't Forget the Lyrics with Niecy Nash-Betts.

Now, we have The Quiz with Balls!

The premise of the show is simple: 2 teams of 5 players compete for a grand prize of $100,000 by answering trivia questions while avoiding getting wet. The harder the question, the harder it is to stay dry.

It's kinda giving Wipeout vibes but with one of the infamous parts of the show.

Quiz with Balls is hosted by Jay Pharoah, who was known for being on NBC's Saturday Night Live for 6 seasons, and he's pretty decent as the host of the show, with decent amounts of energy and makes this silly premise work.

So, in conclusion, a pretty decent show overall, and I wish it luck for its upcoming S2.

Two teams of five face off in a multiple-choice quiz show that lasts five rounds. In each round there are six answer choices, but the number of correct answers decreases by round. If you choose a wrong answer, you are unceremoniously clobbered by a large inflated ball that knocks you into a dunk tank. The team that accumulates the most money and survives the five rounds gets the opportunity to compete for a $100,000 prize.

I found the questions to be legit. Not everyone will know all the correct answers to a question. And the difficulty of the questions vary. Teams can walk away with significant cash, but the final question may be a high hurdle for most contestants.

Host Jay Pharoah contributes some energy, but his role is mostly explanatory. Those who enjoy watching others get clobbered, and there are plenty of those people, may find this a hoot.

What's not to like? FAMILY FEUD (two teams of five family members face off against each other) meets WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE? (pretty tough multiple choice questions) meets WIPEOUT (large inflated rubberized objects knock losing contestants into a swimming pool). The more members a family loses, the tougher the multiple choices get, but if you can keep from losing any, the level of difficulty stays the same for the next round.

From reading other reviewers, apparently one or another of the three facets of the show can put some viewers off, but to me they compliment each other. There are other quiz shows where the host deliberately delays revealing the correct answers to pad out the length of the show which other reviewers here complain about the host of this show, but while that's usually a deal-breaker for me, this host isn't as guilty of it as others. I definitely look forward to the show and find the questions challenging.
