It's time I give some more information about Win, Lose, Or Draw on Disney Channel.
I just watched a commercial for that show, and it said that the show will start airing on Monday, March 3 at 4:00pm. So, I believe January 17 was just the day of the show's sneak peak, and that the show will actually air from Monday through Friday every week instead of just Fridays.

It's time now for some updates.
First, Win, Lose, Or Draw on Disney Channel aired. From what I saw in the episode that aired today, the obstacles in the "Draw-Obstacle Course" round are different from the ones in the sneak peek episode. So, the obstacles will keep changing on each episode.
Second, last week, the second season of the GSN version of Minute To Win It premiered. I didn't get to see it, because I was out somewhere when it aired. But another episode of the season will air tomorrow, so I'll get to see if there is anything in that season that's different from the first season.
Third, there have been some differences in gameplay in the past episodes of Mind Of A Man. In round one, only two questions were asked instead of three. In round two, the third question is a regular question instead of a VIP question. In round three, each contestant is asked two Male Order questions instead of one, and each question is in a category that a contestant must choose. Also, one of those four questions in round three is the VIP question.

I'm now posting to say that I did see this week's episode of season two of Minute To Win It on GSN. This season of the show is exactly the same as the previous season, so there are no changes made in the show.

It's time for another game show update. There are two game shows to talk about, now.
First, I have seen episodes of the third season of The American Bible Challenge. The format is the same as it was in season two, except for the following differences:
*In round one, there are two sets of three questions instead of just one set where teams buzz in. *The point values have gone up. In the buzz-in round, each question is worth 100 points (with penalty for a wrong answer like before). In the physical stunt round, winning the stunt is worth 200 points. In the round after that, each question is worth 300 points. In the round where only two members of each team play, each question is worth 500 points. And in the "Chosen Three" round, each chosen correct answer is worth 1,000 points.
Second, a new game show is going to premiere on Nickelodeon today. It's called Webheads, the host is Carlos PenaVega, and it all has to do with viral videos.
I'll watch the show and post more about it afterwards.

I've seen a couple of episodes of Weabheads this week, and I can now get into full detail about how the game is played.
The game starts with four contestants. The first round is called "Buffering". The contestants are shown four viral videos, and a video in play will stop in the middle. The contestants are then asked a multiple-choice question about what would happen next in the video. After the contestants locked in their answers, the rest of the video is played, and each contestant who locked in with the correct answer scored points. The first video is worth 1 point, the second video is worth 2 points, the third video is worth 3 points, and the fourth video is worth 5 points. The contestant with the lowest score at the end of the round is eliminated.
The three remaining contestants move on to the second round called "Memory Overload", but their scores from the previous round are not carried over to this round. Each contestant is on either a large hamster wheel or shaking platform with three buzzers each, and they are shown three videos. The first two videos each have two questions, and the third one has only one question. After a question is asked, the contestants must each find one of their buzzers that would light up, and each contestant has a chance to answer the question in the order they buzzed in. Each question on the first video is worth 10 points, each question on the second video is worth 20 points, and the question on the third video is worth 30 points. The contestant with the lowest score at the end of this round is eliminated.
The two remaining contestants play the third round called "Moment Of Impact". The contestants are shown up to three videos, each one being played twice. The first time a video is played, the contestants must watch for a part of the video where a horn will sound. The second time the video is played, the contestants must watch for that same part of the video and hit their buzzers when the video reached that part again. The contestant who comes closest to that part of the video wins that video. The first contestant to win two videos wins the game.
The winner plays the bonus round called "Trending Now". Before this round, the studio audience vote for four of the videos that were shown in the main game. The contestant has 90 seconds to put the four videos in order from lowest ranked to highest ranked, while going through a revolving obstacle called the "spinning wheel of doom". After placing the four videos, the contestant comes out and press a button to lock in their guess and find out how many videos were correctly placed. If all four videos are correctly placed, the contestant wins the grand prize. If less than four are correctly placed, the contestant must go back in and rearrange the videos. After the second lock-in, one of the videos placed correctly at that point (if any) is locked in. If the contestant runs out of time before all four videos are correctly placed and locked in, the contestant wins a consolation prize.
During the show, the contestants ride a surfboard, where eliminated contestants and winning contestants who don't win the bonus round get wet, and where winning contestants who do win the bonus round get slimed.

Okay, I just saw a tiebreaker that took place after the "Memory Overload" round on Webheads. It's called "Video Remix." The tied contestants are shown a video with one part of it being repeated many times at different speeds, and each contestant must each lock in how many times they think that part of the video was played. Whoever locks in with the guess that's closest to the correct number wins that tiebreaker.

Last week, the third season of The Chase premiered. There's really nothing different here from the previous season.
Also, I've been seeing commercials for a show called Idiotest. It will premiere on GSN on my birthday, August 12.

I have two updates to make here.
First, on last week's episode of The Chase, a "Super Offer" was made to a contestant who chose to go for the higher offer on the board. The contestant who chose to go for the higher offer has the option to go for the Super Offer, which is higher than the offer that is higher than the amount they accumulated in the cash builder round. If the contestant chose to go for the Super Offer, they will start one step ahead of the chaser, and they must give seven correct answers to bank the money.
Second, Idiotest premiered tonight. The show is hosted by Ben Gleib. This is how the game is played:
Two teams of two are asked simple questions that can be tricky to them. Each question has a starting value and drops for each second that went by. Contestants answer questions by touching which answer they think is correct on a giant touch screen. If they answer correctly, they score the remaining money for their team; but if they answer incorrectly, or if they ran out of time, they score no money.
In round one, each team plays two questions. Each question starts at $300 and drops by $20 for each second that went by. Both teammates work together on each question.
Round two is played the same as round one, except that each question starts at $500 and drops by $25 for each second that went by. Also, each team member has their own question, and they can't get any help from their teammate.
In round three, two questions were asked. One member from each team is asked the same question, which starts at $1,000 and drops by $50 for each second that went by. The other member from each team is asked the same question, which starts at $2,500 and drops by $100 for each second that went by. Each contestant who answered correctly scores the dollar value of a question at the time an answer is locked in. After the two questions, the team in the lead wins the game, keeps the money, and advances to the bonus round.
The bonus round has only one question. One contestant is off-stage, while their teammate has 30 seconds to answer the question. After the contestant who went first answered the question, their teammate comes back on stage and must answer the same question with the time remaining on the clock. If one of the team members answered correctly, the team wins an additional $1,000. But if both teammates answered correctly, their winnings are increased to the top cash prize of $10,000.

It's time for a couple of updates.
First, there are a few changes in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? One is the look of the podium in the center of the set. Another is that there's a new host. The show's host now is Terry Crews. One more is that one of the "Jump The Question" lifelines is replaced with a brand new lifeline called "Plus One". When a contestant uses that lifeline, a companion of theirs is brought to the podium to help answer a question.
Second, a few changes are made on Family Game Night. The way the numbers are pulled out in Jenga is changed, the answers on Yahtzee are displayed on monitors, and a celebrity and their family plays one of the games, with them receiving $10,000 for their charity for winning the game or $5,000 for their charity for losing the game.

Okay, now's the time to talk about the current season of Wheel Of Fortune. The design on the Mystery wedges are different, and the minimum dollar value on the wheel is $500. There's also $32,000 as one of the prizes that can be won in the bonus round, which I find a bit strange for Wheel Of Fortune, since all cash prizes in the bonus round there, as far as I know, have always been in increments of $5,000. Speaking of cash prizes to be won in the bonus round, the winning contestant on tonight's episode won the prize of one million dollars! So, up to this point, three contestants have won the million dollar prize in the history of this show.

Time for another game show update.
The 43rd season of The Price Is Right just premiered. The doors are electric, and a new game is introduced. The game is called "Time Is Money", and it's played for up to $20,000. In this game, there are five grocery items and three pedestals. Each pedestal has a different price range. The first pedestal has a price range between $0 and $2.99. The second pedestal has a price range between $3 and $5.99. The third pedestal has a price range of $6 and up. What the contestant has to do is take the five items and place them all on the correct pedestals within ten seconds. If they're successful, they win the $20,000 cash prize. If not, they're given another chance. On their second chance, the contestant must rearrange the items as the money counts down. After rearranging the items, they must press a button to lock in their guess. If they're right, the money stops counting down, and the contestant wins the remaining cash. If they're wrong, the money keeps counting down, and the contestant must rearrange the items again.

There's another new game show that I'm now going to talk about here. It premiered two days ago, but I didn't see the show until tonight. The show is called Celebrity Name Game, a syndicated game show hosted by Craig Ferguson.
Celebrity Name Game is a word game that's played like any version of Pyramid, where contestants are teamed up with celebrities, and the teams must guess or describe answers within an amount of time without giving any illegal clues.
In this game, there are two teams, each one consisting of two contestants and one celebrity.
In rounds one and two, one of the teams choose from two categories, leaving the remaining category for the other team. One member of the team in turn stands between their teammates, while their teammates each stand behind a podium. The team members at the podiums each have a monitor behind them, where the answers and timer is shown. All answers on this show are in the form of names of celebrities and cartoon characters. The team member standing between their teammates have 45 seconds to describe ten names in the category in play. The person giving the clues describe the names to one teammate at a time. After a name, the person giving the clues goes to the other teammate to describe the next name. The person giving the clues goes back and forth until the team's turn is over. Each correct guess adds cash to the team's score. In round one, the celebrity on each team gives the clues, and each correct guess is worth $100. In round two, one of the contestants on each team gives the clues, and each correct guess is woth $200.
In round three, Craig himself gives the clues, and the celebrities don't play. One contestant from each team will be at a podium where they have to buzz in and guess the name. A right answer adds money to their score, while a wrong answer adds money to the other team's score. The first name is worth $100, and each name thereafter is worth $100 more than the previous name. after each name, the contestants switch places with their contestant teammates. This round is played until one team reaches $3,000 or more. That team wins the game, keeps their money, and advances to the bonus round.
In the bonus round, the contestants on the winning team describe ten names to the two celebrities within a total of 75 seconds. The contestant giving the clues first has 45 seconds to describe as many names as they can, while the contestant giving the clues second has 30 seconds to describe the remaining names. If all ten names are guessed correctly within the combined time limit, the team's total winnings increase to $20,000. If time ran out on the second contestant giving the clues, the team only receives the money won in the main game.

This week on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, special "Whiz Kids" episodes are airing. In those episodes, kids are playing the game. Unlike those special kids episodes from back when Regis Philbin was the host, the kids are not accompanied by their parents. Also, during the "Whiz Kids" episodes, contestants are given a fourth lifeline called "Cut The Question". That lifeline can be used only in the first level of the game. When that lifeline is used, the question in play is cut out and replaced by another question. So, this lifeline is kind of like the "Jump The Question" lifeline that was used for four years during Meredith Vieira's tenure as host of the show.
Next week on the show, there will be another set of special episodes, and those episodes will feature contestants who all have been inducted into the Guinness World Records. Former Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings will be one of those contestants playing the game that week.

Tonight, the fourth season of The Chase premiered. This season of The Chase started off with a celebrity episode where three celebrities play for charity. In this episode, each cash-builder round starts off with $5,000 already in the total, and each correct answer in a cash-builder round adds another $5,000 to the total, and a contestant who gets eliminated still receives $5,000 for their charity.
