Common Knowledge

I didn't realize it when I was a kid, but it's true that the host makes or breaks a game show.

Fatone's delivery is just so flat. He makes no attempt to interact with the contestants in a real person sort of way, and the stupid "How did you get that answer?" Follow up he does after every question is just a time-filling waste.

It's a game about "common knowledge", why are you asking contestants how they "got it"?

When Joey says to the contestants "be careful using the pass - the next question may be harder"

you should fire the writer that came up with that!!!!!

If the contestant doesn't know the answer to the current question-

the next one CANNOT be harder for that person.

That has to be the DUMBEST statement on TV today---THINKS SOME BODY AND TAKE THAT OFF THE SHOW!!

Main thing needing change is the approach of contestants answers. It's annoying how Fatone asks them how they got the answer. Even if it was a simple addition question, Fatone will still ask why they chose the answer. Wish someone would answer with "because JOEY, 2 plus 2 equals 4"

My wife and I enjoy this show as we play along. We find it educational. We've even learn a few things with this show. The host is excellent. Give this show a chance i think it will catch on!

After watching a fair number of episodes I can only conclude that anyone with a triple digit IQ is disqualified from being a contestant on this game show! In addition, "Joey" asking how you came up with an obvious answer is insulting to anyone with a functioning brain.
