A couple of days late again, and I'm not going to do this weekly, I swear, but here's another round of spontaneous reactions to an episode of Match Game, specifically the second week's show, courtesy of streaming video.
Are Rosie O'Donnell and Tituss Burgess the new Brett and Charles? I like Tituss well enough, but Rosie is hard to stomach under any circumstance these days, although she wasn't nearly as annoying as I expected last week.
After round 1 of game 1 I'm still not overwhelmed by this show. The panel isn't winning me over. I like Adam Goldberg, and so far he hasn't dazzled me.
Round 2 is underway, and it's clear that Alec Baldwin really loves the sound of his voice. And he's great at spouting off pre-scripted jokes.
Sherri Shepherd is easily winning "most annoying celebrity" on this week's show.
O'Donnell is the super match celebrity for the third consecutive time. Why do contestants think she's the Richard Dawson of the 2016 panel?
Why don't Baldwin's eyes open fully?
Why do they tell the contestants to dance like cheerleaders when they spin them around on the turntable?
Game 2 round 1, first question isn't about sex. Answers are limited to seemingly two responses, it seems, and yet "Jason" gave a third answer. It's a shame that half the questions seem to be sexual, but not surprising.
Shepherd is terrible at this game. She wins this week's JB Smooth award for stupidity.
Why is Goldberg wearing that dorky bandana around his neck?
After an unexciting game 2 we have another winner. It will be interesting to see what happens if this slow-paced show ever ends in a tie after two rounds.
Audience match for game 2: The contestant, whose name I have forgotten, blew it, so she gets $1,000 as a consolation prize so that they can have a super match. And she picked O'Donnell, like everybody else. She's the third out of four contestants to fail at the super match. Such a shame.
