Dog Eat Dog

Dog Eat Dog isn't what you call a grown-up version of Double Dare or another American Gladiators rip-off, it's a show where you either play with pride or money with 6 people. 1 day before taping, they were whisked away to camp where they had to learn their Phys. Ed. skills and when it was over, it was time for the game to start. Once Brooke Burns describes the challenge to the contestants, it was time to vote who would end up failing this challenge and if so, he/she got sent to the "Dog Pound" where it didn't involve you catching a dog with a butterfly net, but if he/she won, then he/she will pick who got sent to the pound by the person who voted for him/her and that, my friends, is simple.

When it was down to just 2 players left, it was time for a Head-to-Head challenge where it was either a scoring competition or mostly an endurance competition, the winner became Top Dog and went to the final round in a best of 5 contest. If the Dog Pound wins it, 5 members will each get $5000, but if one person wins, he/she alone will win $25,000.

25k is a measly amount of money, especially losing it to the Dog Pound, but the stunts were harder and it might be difficult to complete it, but Dog Eat Dog in my case, is a best in show winner all-around.

While Brooke Burns is certainly enjoyable to look at sadly she lacks what it takes to be the host of a game show especially one of this caliber. The show while it appears to have everything to make it interesting seems to fall flat. In one episode one of the female contestants was banished to the dog pound (which is nothing more than a bleacher seat) almost as soon as the show started where she remained for the bulk of the show and then in the final round was asked a trivia question to which she giggled and said `I don't know' and sat down again. The shows title gives the indication that the viewer is in store for some real tough physical and back stabbing competition but it doesn't deliver. A change of host could however turn this show around.

Okay.. I realize that standards are falling, and the nation is becoming dumber and dumber as less and less books are being read, and more shows like this are being thrown on the air. The sad thing, is Americans are buying into it. The game show is based upon six contestants who are playing as a "team", yet constantly bashing each other, and attempting to widdle away at the the team until one person is remained standing. Then once one person is left, they set it up so that the other 5 contestants answer trivia questions at the end to try to take and split the money that the sole contestant has earned. What makes it a poor competitive game show, is that the sole contestant doesn't even get to answer the questions.. He merely gets to pick who gets to answer them... Where is the competition in that? That is hardly my main contention with the program... My biggest problem with the show, is that it makes the whole country look like idiots. If these are the finest that America has to put on a game show, we are in big trouble. I mean, supposedly, 6 average people are put into this "competition", and sadly the product is utter stupidity. Every two seconds they are blindly insulting each other, passing judgements, while the innocent seeming hostess reads off her cue cards, and asks provoking questions. The sad thing is American teens are eating it up. It has everything MTV has prescribed for this generation: A by standards hot host, verbal abuse, and conflict. What is the point? Why don't they just give each contestant their share of the money to run around naked and swear at each other? Now don't get me wrong, I am by no means a conservative thinker... However, It upsets me to see people buy into this crap. Is this what the future of television is going to be like? Is this an indication of what the future of America is going to be like?

So.. If you are 13, and want to see something entertaining to your sex drive and adrenaline, get a dirty magazine.. If you want to watch an hour of trash, watch "Dog eat Dog".

The show does some challenges like the football one, There's also A challenge where you have to run on something and if you get a question wrong it speeds up to the next level. Then at the end the winning contestant and the dog pound get A chance to win $25,000. There sent to a camp where they face challenges and before the challenge begins the contestants vote for who is least likely to complete this event. And if they don't make it they're sent to the dog pound but if they do they get to choose one of the guys that voted for that person to go to the dog pound in their place.

I love Dog Eat Dog. I think it's one of the best shows i watch. Everyone always assumes its a useless and dumb show just because Brooke Burns is the host and she was on Baywatch. They all say shes the typical "hot, slutty host" but thats not it. She's not like that at all.It's such a shame the show got canceled. I watch it on GSN still, only twice a week, Tuesday and Wednesday at 10 o clock. I wish they would bring the show back so much. I love the games, they're so creative and original. The one i especially like is "He or She". 6 men dress up as women..but one is actually a real woman. You have to guess the correct one. Though i never get it right i love it. This can also be done vis-versa. But i completely disagree with all the comments saying its a horrible show.
