The Quiz with Balls

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.

Finally!

I am a game show critique and I have analyzed many game shows over the years, and this one has to be the best!

All of these other game shows have been so tacky and lame, lacking character, but this one has me on the edge of my seat! The balls hitting the contestants was an amazing idea and keeping it fun for the whole family.

The questions and categories are always making me think yeah I got this when it's names I have never even heard of. I love it!

This show needs to be on for another decade. The host is hilarious and I am so entertained.

Jay Pharoah is awesome!

Thank you Fox.

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.

I love swimming, looks so much fun, questions challenging. Every time someone get dumbed, I want to jump in there, too. There is nothing that annoys me in this show so far. It's fun and easy to watch and easy to be distracted from as well. Missing a minute or two will not take anything essential away in my opinion. But this is just a first haphazardly watched episode. Maybe I'll change my tune about this show, and if I do hopefully will remember to edit this. Sorry this being too long but I still have to find 84 characters to be accepted here.

How about changing is so when they get it right, then we get dumped in the pool?

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.
