99 to Beat

Bad audio (we watched on Hulu), excessive personal stories, comments, etc. It's a ripoff of Minute to Win It & Squid Games (sorry no carnage). Why do you need two hosts. Did you start with one and the test audiences forced you to bring in another host? The walk of shame card is a waste of airtime. A million dollars? I can see 100K but not a million. Three of us gave it a chance and we won't be watching again.

There are so many things wrong with this show. First of all, this show feels so cheaply made. The games are not entertaining to watch, and every episode feels like a rushed Mr. Beast video. Secondly, the host's acting is terrible. Ken Jeong is pretty funny and Erin Andrew's is meh, but they just overdramatize everything in this show! Like the only point for them on the show is useless commentary. Like how Erin Andrews on EVERY EPISODE says "A MILLION DOLLARS IS ON THE LINE!" It's not everyone's million dollars, it's just that person's chance at it. So to just cut to the chase, if you're looking for a fun game show to watch, this is not a good choice.

So. I watched the UK version first, which aired a few months before this US version showed up.

While watching the UK version I thought the two hosts were superfluous, unnecessary, and generally overly cringe-worthy... then I saw the US version with Ken an Erin and I was completely wrong.. the UK hosts were doing an adequate job.. Ken and Erin don't belong anywhere near this show.

Fun drinking game....take a shot every time Ken Jeong says/shouts/yells "Oh My God". You'll be on the floor vomiting by the end of every episode.

And Erin.. why is a football commentator even considered for a game show?? Guess they couldn't find anyone else. She's vanilla.. no personality and then throws in the ODD, out of place, football references. Does she not know she's not watching football, or anything even remotely close to football??

There is ZERO chemistry between Ken and Erin.. none. It's readily apparent.

The show COULD be good if they sped it up a bit and got rid of all the "human interest" attempts. Why would anyone care about some random 100 people? Of COURSE they all want or need the money. The interest in the show is the games and how bad or silly players try to complete things..... the players are merely necessary cogs - there's little need to focus on them as if they were celebrities

----- Meh... I watch for the games and will see it through to the end.. but they REALLY need to replace the hosts if this gets renewed.

Typical US remake.. follow the format, but mess it up entirely by poorly casting the wrong people.

Just a bunch of silliness. There's people on here that have already won big contests so I really don't know why they are on the show. Just put normal regular people on shows instead of these people who are famous in their own minds. The hosts go above and beyond to hype up all the nonsense. It was barely tolerable.

Imagine an amazing show or movie reduced to its basic core of it, and I love Dr. Ken, way overacted caring about who comes in what place. Erin is a sports reporter and has no business being here. It's watchable, but not the first thing I watch on my DVR. The original Squid Games was like The Blair Witch Project.. some thought the (no spoilers here) ... this would be better on Nickelodeon with kids. It only works here because of the dollar amount someone could win.
