Weakest Link

I know that most of the people who commented on this version of "The Weakest Link" think it's a great game show, but I disagree. I think the version sucks, and there's one good reason for it...

Anne Robinson!! That's why this version sucks. She's insulting to the contestants, and frankly, she isn't funny at all. She bores me to death on this version. It's just painful to watch. If you're like me, watch the 30 minute version with George Gray (which is a million time BETTER!!!)

This version sucks, and I hate it.

Well, I can understand why this show is so popular. I confess I've gotten exasperated with stupid game-show contestants myself. But I just don't feel that insulting, belittling, and demoralizing people is funny. I also don't like the way this show glorifies society's approval of the practice.

Still, lately, it's becoming more apparent that Ms. Robinson is doing it with tongue in cheek.

The name of this game should be called 'The Biggest Threat' because that's who they seem to vote off once it comes down to the final 3-4 people. I can't tell you how many times I've yelled out in rage because the dummies gang up on the smart person to vote them off. Part of the fun is the voting, but it's really not fair to someone who is considered the STRONGEST LINK to be kicked off. I think they should have set it up where they follow the statistics rather then have the contestants be dishonest and greedy. Also, it's nerve wrecking when the idiots reach $25,000 to $50,000 and don't say the word BANK!!! They also had way too many celebrities playing for charity. I saw more celebrities than I did regular, everyday people. Ann Robinson was a tremendous hostess, and I often wondered if some of her brash comments (said in a joking fashion) were really sincere.

I have to say that this show is much better than Inquisition was, and the payout is much better. Anne is wonderful as the hostess, and her sharp tongue keeps contestants on their toes. I like the format of the show in that you never know what type of question is going to be asked. Greed was a show that tried to capitalize on Weakest Link's success, but just didn't have the powerful MC that makes Link the hit it is today.

I mean HHH looked so great and he was funny. He won too! Bigshow was funny-while he lasted. The show was great and I can't wait to see the next Special.

Weakest Link is the best-especially when WWE superstars get involved!
