If you have ever played the board game Taboo and enjoyed it, then the game show "Taboo" will be fun and not time wasting to watch. Chris Wylde is the host and he is very funny. The show is taped in a studio in Beaverly Hills, California, United States. There are two teams of three contents on each team. Chris Wylde tries to get the team to say the word or phrase without saying the five taboo words and the first person to say the word or phrase on the team is the team captain and get to appoint who goes up for their team. One person from the team (appointed by the team captain) has to get the other two on their team to say the word or phrase without saying the five taboo words. Each word or phrase is worth one point and is only given 45 seconds. After the other team is done with the first round, the same is done with the second round but a different person (appointed by the team captain) has to come and do it again. The third round is does exactly the same except this time it is call the "Danger" round where if the person giving the clues say one of the five taboo words, Chris throws junk into your face and makes noise. The words or phrases this time are names of real life and/or fictional characters. The forth round is called the "Catch up" round where the same for the first two rounds except each word or phrase is worth two points and a sixth taboo word is added. After this round if the score is tied, the team with the least taboos is the winner, otherwise the team with the most points wins and get to go to the bonus round. The losing team gets to take home each a taboo board game. In the bonus round three prizes/trips are offered and the team gets to decide what prize/trip they want. In additional, other prizes are given and $1000 spending money each. One person on the team has to get the other two members in the team to guess the phrase or word based on a category given 60 seconds. If the person get the word or phrase right, taboos or passes, the players have to switch. If 6 are guess correctly within 60 seconds, they win the prize/trip.
