<\/a><\/p>\nI’m not entirely certain what sort of number they are hoping for, for NEW QUIZ SENSATION you would probably be wanting closer to 3.0+, in actual fact this has started not far from where non-quiz sensation Million Second Quiz<\/strong> ended. Our hero could probably just duck under that as a one-off (I originally had the “safe” bit at 2.0, but reduced it to 1.5 so the feature can run a bit), but shows tend to open\u00a0high and drift. There are two hours of it tonight.<\/p>\n It’s actually not that awful, if you don’t like dark sets you won’t like it (and it’s legitimately dark, rather than a black backdrop with lots of actual light). Richard Quest holds the show together quite well, but his cadence when reading questions out is all over the place which is rather irritating.<\/p>\n Also there’s something wrong somewhere. When they ask questions straight it doesn’t “feel” too slow in actual fact, but the special questions break the flow of the show in quite an aggravating manner (and having them walk slightly forward and back is the most awkward thing since when Weakest Link<\/em> only used to have one podium for the head-to-head). And yet without them the challenger wouldn’t really be doing very much and might as well not be there, sure they pick the category after two strikes (“Wrongs” can sod off) but given the quality of the contestants selected to play knocking someone out is probably more luck than judgement. They have very little agency, compare to other shows that ask contestants to stay on for many days at a time.<\/p>\n Probably will watch the next episode, but as I say I think there’s going to be a real issue when the next contestant has to start from zero again. There are probably 20-30 things you could be doing and watching at that time, I fail to see what is going to make 500 Questions<\/em> the most compelling of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well it’s not looking great so far.
