The Misery Index

I absolutely love the Tenderloins and I'm a huge fan of Impractical Jokers. My first problem with this new "game" show is the host, she is trying too hard to be one of the guys and it comes off awkward and desperate. Secondly who are these supposed experts that are rating all these experiences ? Everyone handles things in their own way and it's ridiculous to generalize them and put a number on it. The only thing keeping this crap afloat is Q, Sal, Murr, and Joe and I'm afraid even they won't be able to do it for too long.

I love the show. The jokers are hilarious as usual and I enjoy the concept of the game. But the host is almost unbearable! She has no chemistry with the jokers or anyone else she interacts with and she just doesn't seem genuine. She kinda has a snobby attitude and demeanor about her. She doesn't feel relatable to the audience. I would give it a 10/10 if it weren't for the host. Hopefully they'll replace her in the future.

The only thing that ruins the show is the results. The numbers in the misery index are determined by "shrinks" who apparently can't even type the word shrink, because the pontuation makes absolutely zero sense and therefor, making it impossible to win the rounds with your brain and having to count only on pure luck.

Example: "a woman is sent to the hospital after putting pop tarts in her vagina and having problems" This was rated 40. Then "woman go to surgery to remove her bladder and then found the removed bladder in her bag with her clothes" A funny, harmless, painless story, but the moron shrinks rated as 64!!!!!! LOL

I'm a jokers fan so I'm bias but this is actually a decent little game show. It's entertaining, funny and if you are a jokers fan check it out.

The premise is interesting to me... the rating of misery on a scale. a plus is jameela, i love her since the good place. impractical jokers are ok but it's not something i'd rate higher than a 6?7? - actually, come to think of it.. challenging someone to make an idiot of himself & prank others never made me die of laughter..? so anyway.. back to the misery index.. given the increase in negative emotions, depression ... this rating system makes me smirk and definitely puts some s*** into perspective for me. (my second day of migraine, the weather makes you suicidal here, and i feel there is no light at the end of the tunnel... & that the tunnel is in fact a neverending spiral.. - but hey at least i have all my toes and fingers, wasn't attacked by a swarm of bees, didn't lose my tongue & won't have an accident in an elevator today.

if you need something light ..give it a try
