I found this on the site this week
I only had one and that is for the televised one being Let's Ask America. Does anyone have any suggestions? |

Bullseye for worst televised game show and YouTube Password for worst Internet game show. Thank you! That version of Bullseye is really starting to suck! And YouTube Password is like YouTube Family Feud! |

I'd rather take a revival of the 1980-82 Barry & Enright classic over what I call "Fear Factor Jr.".

Me too, Darion. You and I are on the same wavelength.

Well let's hope some real stinkers (not those that were good, but low rated) get nominated.

It is about to get worse than I thought. Here are the nominations as follows AND THIS IS ROBERT'S SAYING NOT MINE!
INTERNET GAME SHOWS
Buzzr Password: Having already destroyed Family Feud, they decided that Password would be the next franchise to get massacred. All of the problems in the first series of Feud are magnified in Password with contestants who didn't know the game, laxed judging rules, an even more annoying host, and a set that cost less than what Macklemore rapped about in "Thrift Shop". True story, we planned on doing an instant induction when it released, but plans went arie and here we are now.
Take My Bitcoin: The Bitcoin is the hottest currency to hit the market since the Euro. But Take My Bitcoin turns out to be nothing more than a retread of all of those terrible call-in shows from the mid 2000s made worse by a host who is clearly there for the check, and even worse games than those old call-in games. We're not talking about the Bitcoin as a currency shakiness, just the fact that the game and show itself are bad.
Money Where Your Mouth Is: Jay Mohr isn't as funny as he thinks he is, and this show isn't as funny or good as he thinks it is. Three bros take on each other in a battle of man knowledge and manliness that make you wish you were watching the Lifetime Channel. The problem with all of this is that the game is simply not a game and more of a terrible vehicle of Jay Mohr's terrible comedy and to hock Campbell's XXL Soup.
Pop Quiz Hot Shot: Channel Awesome's kickstarted game show to the tune of $90,000 winds up being one of the most maligned efforts for the outfit since Demo Reel. Not only is the game a terrible mish-mash of Double Dare, Win Ben Stein's Money, Remote Control's Gimmick and a boring generic quizzer, the show's original host Brad Jones left the show after the first episode due to creative differences between himself and Channel Awesome head honcho Mike Michaud. There's also the stigma of a lot of donators feeling cheated out of their money when the show was even less than bargained for.
TELEVISED GAME SHOWS
Lie Detectors: GSN's biggest flop since bringing in the reruns of Show Me The Money and for original programming, How Much is Enough?. What made the show the flop it became? Well, for starters, it was little more than a lethargic reboot of The Liar's Club with leftover comedians from the old Best Week Ever Days, uninteresting questions, and the comedians were just not funny. Comparisons were made quickly to the more successful @midnight, but at least @midnight had charm and was funny. This was neither.
FOX's Bullseye: It wouldn't be a banner year for Game Show Garbage without another crappy FOX game show being nominated. Everything done on this show was better done with the 2011 mediocre revival of Fear Factor, including a handful of stunts done on Bullseye. Also ruining the show are two hosts, one the bland and monotone host who's name escapes me and Godfrey, yet another Best Week Ever reject who hasn't been relevant since he was in those Make 7 Up Yours commercials.
Celebrity Squares with Warwick Davis: Oh Willow. You tried, you really did. Sadly, you were given a great game show, but the executive producers made it unbearable. Only able to get three games complete in a span of an hour thanks to the guests taking way too long to do skits, come up with quips that don't work and most of all, being far inferior to the 90s revival and 70s original, both done by Bob Monkhouse. Americans saw this as John Davidson's squares expanded to an hour and done to hell.
500 Questions: Act like you didn't see this one coming. This years token entry in the "Worst Event Show" mold. What it gets wrong is what every single other show of this ilk got wrong. A tedious format that has been done better on Jeopardy, The Chase and countless other shows makes us focus on the three biggest failures of this show: A humongous and boring set, Richard Quest himself being in the running for Worst Game Show Host of all time, and the fact that the show's title was a complete lie when they didn't get through the titular amount in the 9 episodes it was on when Jeopardy goes through that amount in half the time and with the same amount of episodes.
The Briefcase: I thought the exploitation craze was gone when Queen For A Day was cancelled? But no, it's alive and well with this show that exploits two poor families and makes the first family choose how much of $101,000 they want to spend on themselves and how much they give to a second family who is in the same or worse position that they are. Already hailed by critics as one of the worst shows of the 2014-2015 season, it takes its place alongside The Job, yet another Sony show with a similar concept and a similar critical reaction.

Uh-oh... It looks like your version of 500 Questions is in jeopardy, Darion.

Uh-oh... It looks like your version of 500 Questions is in jeopardy, Darion. And it now comes down to whether I should continue this or not. But the good news is your nominees are in the lists. Plus a show that got a change.org petition The Briefcase is also on the list. |

And thankfully BattleBots didn't get a nod (thankfully because it was REALLY good and the ratings were REALLY GREAT.)

Darion, 500 Questions is in the lead for worst TV game show, with 42% of the vote so far.

The voting has been locked today and I found out that Buzzr Password won easily for the internet and The Briefcase won the televised award. But Blackwood is not sure for we got our celebration on 500 Questions cut short for the fact that 500 Questions could still win the Patrick Wayne Award.

 OH YEAH! Rob, after this many years, it's been an honour to always follow the worst in game shows, and as it is now midnight, I would like to say goodbye to the show that ruled it all out. Here, ladies and gents, is the 2014-15 Patrick Wayne Award Winner for the TV category, The Briefcase. |
