Quiz with Balls

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?

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.

They straight up screwed a team.

Episode 2 a team chose a category where they have to identify words that were originally acronyms.

They chose words like SCUBA, RADAR, and CAPTCHA. Two words. SPAM and Pog were also chosen. They got credit for choosing Pog and the judges said SPAM is not an acronym. SPAM as in the pork product. IS an acronym but spam as in an email term is not. Pog as in a military term is an acronym but Pog as in the game is not. The rules are unclear and it's just not a good show .

It's filled w mispronounced words and the families on the show are not relatable and just annoying.

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.

I usually enjoy trivia type gameshows, but I find the host, Jay Pharough, very annoying! I think he's trying to use over-the-top theatrics to come up with different/new ways to say "release the balls!", but it's just not working. Also, I keep wishing he would change what he is wearing. He's worn the same bright red jacket and blue pants on all 3 of the shows that I've watched so far. Some of the families are a bit much too, with the "smack talk" given back and forth. I do find watching people get bumped into the water is mildly entertaining for me, though. :). I would give it a higher rating than 6, if it wasn't for the annoying host.
