The Quiz with Balls

What's not to like? FAMILY FEUD (two teams of five family members face off against each other) meets WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE? (pretty tough multiple choice questions) meets WIPEOUT (large inflated rubberized objects knock losing contestants into a swimming pool). The more members a family loses, the tougher the multiple choices get, but if you can keep from losing any, the level of difficulty stays the same for the next round.

From reading other reviewers, apparently one or another of the three facets of the show can put some viewers off, but to me they compliment each other. There are other quiz shows where the host deliberately delays revealing the correct answers to pad out the length of the show which other reviewers here complain about the host of this show, but while that's usually a deal-breaker for me, this host isn't as guilty of it as others. I definitely look forward to the show and find the questions challenging.

I usually enjoy trivia type gameshows, but I find the host, Jay Pharough, very annoying! I think he's trying to use over-the-top theatrics to come up with different/new ways to say "release the balls!", but it's just not working. Also, I keep wishing he would change what he is wearing. He's worn the same bright red jacket and blue pants on all 3 of the shows that I've watched so far. Some of the families are a bit much too, with the "smack talk" given back and forth. I do find watching people get bumped into the water is mildly entertaining for me, though. :). I would give it a higher rating than 6, if it wasn't for the annoying host.

I love swimming, looks so much fun, questions challenging. Every time someone get dumbed, I want to jump in there, too. There is nothing that annoys me in this show so far. It's fun and easy to watch and easy to be distracted from as well. Missing a minute or two will not take anything essential away in my opinion. But this is just a first haphazardly watched episode. Maybe I'll change my tune about this show, and if I do hopefully will remember to edit this. Sorry this being too long but I still have to find 84 characters to be accepted here.

How about changing is so when they get it right, then we get dumped in the pool?

"The Quiz with Balls" has a lot of the same feel as Ellen's "Game of games", except it's a version of that game where they only play a single game type.

That concept just doesn't work. By round 3 of this game I lost all interest in it. Watching regular people answer trivia questions and then getting shoved into a giant dunk tank over, and over, and over again is just not compelling in any way. It's also not nearly as "hilarious" as this game wants us to think it is.

Jay Pharoah is a passable host but the show doesn't really give him any chance to be funny. They hire standup comedians to host these things so they can show off their improv skills but everything about Jay's delivery had a very scripted feel to it. He also didn't really seem to want to be there.

I'm calling it now, cancelled in one season.

Me and my husband love the Quiz with Balls game show and I really question anyone that doesn't! It's energetic, fun, and informative which is hard to find in most game shows! The questions and categories are challenging, yet fun, and I think that's why we love it so much. The episodes are just the right length and comedian Jay Pharoah is the icing on the cake, he's simply perfect as a host for this show!

I would love to see an episode where the opposing teams get to pick the game show quiz category for each other to amp up the fun even more! I really hope the network execs continue to renew this show and not drop it suddenly and without warning like more and more of these streaming stations are doing. We just found Quiz with Balls by accident and now we're hooked!!!
