Split Second

Please.

Michael , stop telling your very bad jokes. You are not funny. I like the show , but I seriously can't watch it much longer if you don't stop with your horrible jokes. If You used to be a comedian, I now understand Why you are a game show host.

The only other part that's annoying is the last and final round. I think the host is a little too slow, And having the audience start clapping in the middle of the round Seems to be intentional to distract the contestant. Maybe i'm spoiled by the quickness of the mastermind host.

It just seems like that last sixty second round is done very sloppy.

I like the show but it is ridiculous that the host just reads the final round way too slow. Hardly anyone ever wins. Possibly change the amount of questions. He only has 60 seconds and it takes him 45 seconds to read the clues which leaves the contestant with hardly any time to answer. He needs to speed it up and just say yes if they get the right answer. Way too slow. I like John Michael Higgins on America Days, but he galls short on Split Second. Maybe someone who can actually see the questions on his tablet or make the font much bigger. He seems to struggle with reading the questions. Otherwise, it's a pretty good show.

I like trivia games. And game shows like "Jeopardy!" are my faves. "Split Second" doesn't come close to the quality of "Jeopardy!", but it is fast-paced. The keys to its likability are the level of trivia, which is not too challenging, and the affability of the host, John Michael Higgins.

Three contestants answer the same questions. If they answer first, they have a greater chance to win more points, so speed is a factor. Also, there is some strategy; if you answer the easier questions, it makes your opponent's task more difficult.

These Game Show Network offerings do not offer huge payoffs, but apparently they do not need to.

I like the show in general. The questions are not too hard for regular people to do well. And the host is mostly likeable, except for the extremely corny jokes he sprinkles in throughout the show.

But I find it frustrating to watch ties award everyone with the correct answer the same number of points.

Wouldn't it be better to reward the first correct answer more points than the second, which would get more than third? For example, a 3-way tie in the first round could award 30, 25 and 20 points instead of 25 points to everyone. A two-way tie could award 60 points for the first response and 40 for the second.

I love this show but get so frustrated during the bonus round. The host reads way too slow and takes up almost 1/2 of the 60 seconds speaking. If someone gets the answer right they should just have a bell - instead of him saying "correct". Also when someone answers incorrectly he takes a second to think and then says "No, it's xxxx". Literally takes away precious time from an already short amount of time. And also contestants don't care about the correct answers in that moment.

Just a shame because the rest of the show is very good! The host is likeable for the most part and the questions are not too hard or too easy.
