Greetings from the other side. After watching the first two episodes that dropped, I found this show kinda boring.
Yes, he gives away a ton of cash, which is cool, but too many people get eliminated through no fault of their own. Some are asked to sacrifice themselves, while others are booted because someone in their row is greedy and hits a button.
It's not a "game" if you can get booted because of something that someone else has done. Imagine going through a bunch of stuff, and you get sent home because someone in your row hit a button that gives them 100k? That would tick me off.
The games are nothing special, like don't let a ball hit the floor.
Anyways, the only thing I liked was the amount of money he gives gives away. I was getting tired of him saying Five Million Dollars! Oh, I also see no use for his 5 friends either. The one dude was annoying as hell. Fake laughing, and saying "No way!" Or "What's happening!".
