I'm stupid-as-fuck-ingly in love with this show, and I stress "stupid-as-fuck-ingly"
I like how people are reduced to their role in society be it functional or entertainment: The Alligator Wrester, The Litigation Lawyer, The Nurse, The Social Worker, The Belly Dancer... Small hints of actual first names or aliases, very minimum time for backgrounds. No more.
It's this techno-purgatory between monetary spiritual plains hosted by the stern Pinter-esque Master O'Suave, but as opposed to other shows that use Ash Ra Tempel like ambient/tension music and forcing contestants to think out loud for extended periods of time being viewed by many, there are actually decent trivia questions asked (relatively speaking, I know I know) and a good betting stategy, combined. The camera switches. It makes "who wants to be a millionare" seem kinda cheap.
The green CONFIRMED MY ANSWERS NOW DIE, FEEBLE OPPONENT button!
Profress your love for this show. Or just tell me I'm high. Or both.

Fucking Greenie. That guy is so annoying.
The gotcha stuff about professions was dumb - "oh, she's a bookkeeper WHO HAS A PHD FROM BERKELEY!" - but it's all pretty irrelevant since most of the questions aren't things anyone on Earth knows regardless of intelligence.

and yet, still way way way better than any other prime time game show
