1) The host is LAME, he has the charisma of a comatose patient.
2) The team format is stupid, feels like the show can't decide if it wants to be Jeopardy or Family Feud. And just like Family Feud, most of the contestants are unlikeable. So it's difficult to root for anyone.
3) Most of the trivia (and the overall feel of the show) is catered to a Gen Z audience. I could easily see this version of Jeopardy being added to the already horrendous programming on MTV or E!
To put it simply. After suffering through five episodes, I had enough. As a big fan of trivia, I'd rather play Trivial Pursuit by myself, than sit through another episode of this drek.
Put that in your Daily Double.
The gameplay is similar to its parent show: Jeopardy round, Double Jeopardy and Final Jeopardy, respectively; but in tournament mode, playing by points rather than money amounts. But in addition to having 1 Daily Double in the first round and 2 in the second round, both rounds have one Triple Play, which gives teams a chance to triple the value of the clue if every member of their team gets the 3 responses right.
As for Colin Jost, he is the perfect host for this spinoff imo, keeping the game moving while also throwing jokes of his own during the game as well. Ever since he joined Saturday Night Live as the anchor for Weekend Update, I've been a loyal fan of him and Michael Che as well, so I can't wait to see what surprises that PCJ has in store for us! The theme song for the pop culture spinoff is also wonderful as well, taking it back to the 80s and having a remanence sounding of the Rock & Roll spinoff, thanks to the wonderfully talented group of Bleeding Fingers Music!
To end it off, I wish PCJ nothing but the best and I highly recommend it to Jeopardy and/or pop culture fans!
P. S., if there's ever a pop culture spinoff of Wheel of Fortune planned, do get Michael Che as host as it'll make an amazing crossover with the 2 shows!
In general, I like the format of three teams of three players. I was intrigued by the triple play clue and like to see more of them per game. It's fun hearing the story behind each team's name and how they know each other. I would love to see a celebrity version of this show either with their relatives or former co-stars.
I probably would have given this show 8 stars if it had a better host.
This Jeopardy is entertaining! Mission accomplished!! So don't knock it!! Collin Jost is a natural!! He does a fabulous job as host! In my opinion (as a viewer), this show should deliver what it promised. To take it to the finale!! I'm dying to see who wins!!
Colin Jost is the best host and one of the main reasons I love this show. It's so much more fun than any regular Jeopardy out there and the team aspect is entertaining and unique every episode. If you want to answer the smartest jeopardy questions then maybe this won't be your favorite show, but I love pop culture and feel like I can relate to this show the most! The humor is a little dry and always funny, so give it a try. Or just watch the normal jeopardy and keep the negativity to yourself.
