The New Catch 21

To begin with, I would like an article by the show's producers that explain how the Cards that are used come up for display. Are the cards a full deck? Are they shuffled? The mystery of the draw intrigues me.

More interesting to me is how come the host encourages the contestant to quit the game when they still have chips to play? Only morons would quit, but yet because many contestants are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, the host gets away with this theft. Advantage: the House. The host knows the player is under intense stress, and keeps yakking in the player's ear to walk away with something less than $25K. Boo on the host. I would like to attend an episode just to confront the host re this tactic.

I liked the old version better with the audience behind host. Don't like new dealer. Would rather have Mikki Padilla back.

Still like Alfonso, but I SO want Mikki back. :'( She MADE this show, it is just so not the same without her. This Witney chick is... cute, I guess, but has next to no personality in dealing the cards. Just a pretty face. But I still like GSN, and I'll still watch if there's nothing else on.

Fun game! I love Whitney...She's so cute! Alfonso used to bug me but now I like him. The overall playing of the game is fun to watch, also.

It's unfortunate that didn't include the full title, as it can be confused with the prior show. The new one is ok, but it really lacks the energy that the original show had. The original show was almost too over-the-top with the energy of its contestants, but it made it more interesting. I find I'm interested enough to keep watching, but at times it teeters on the edge of boring. The combination of the new display and Whitney's non-empathetic delivery doesn't help add excitement. It probably wouldn't seem so bad if Nikki Padilla hadn't set the bar so high in the original show.
