History YMMV / GameShowGarbage

* ShePannedItNowSheSucks:
** The "Golden Fanbois" induction caused a huge backlash not only from Golden-Road, whose users promptly [[http://www.golden-road.net/index.php/topic,20805.0.html called out]] Seidelman for her induction of them, but The Game Show Forum (a site created by users who defected from alt.tv.game-shows in 2003), whose members were [[http://www.gameshowforum.org/index.php/topic,24405.0.html far less polite]] about how they felt. In response, Seidelman not only edited the induction the next day (taking out the personal attacks and ED sourcing, as well as softening the tone a bit) but posted an apology which, among others, acknowledged that she used napalm when a sniper rifle would've sufficed. Still, the damage had already been done.
** Cyndi has received some flak for her constant bashing of ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}''. It got to the point where fans couldn't tell whether [[PoesLaw her April Fool's induction of the show was authentic or if she was kidding]]. Fortunately, her ''Jeopardy''-bashing seems to have died down some following the death of Creator/AlexTrebek.

* NeverLiveItDown: Seidelman's reputation as a FanHater, which was cemented with an induction bashing Golden-Road. It caused her to [[OldShame remove the induction from the site]] in September 2017.

** Cyndi has received some flak for her constant bashing of ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}''. It got to the point where fans couldn't tell whether her April Fool's induction of the show was authentic or if she was kidding. Fortunately, her ''Jeopardy''-bashing seems to have died down some following the death of Creator/AlexTrebek.

* FanHater: At one point, Seidelman didn't think too highly of a certain highly passionate faction of game show fandom that she called the "Number 3s" (as opposed to "Number 1s" whom she sees as the most rational fans, and "Number 2s" who only occasionally let their fandom cloud their judgment). According to her, these fans have oversensitive {{Nostalgia Filter}}s and {{Berserk Button}}s, often display what borders on InsaneTrollLogic, and are very quick to cry TheyChangedItNowItSucks. For the site's 139th induction, as part of a "The Price Is WRONG" week, Seidelman singled out ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' fan site Golden-Road.net as an example of the "Number 3" branch. Except...
** The induction included personal attacks on several prominent members, with Seidelman using the Encyclopedia Dramatica page on the site as a source (despite noting that yes, ED is "a parody site and a troll site"). Said ED page was created by a disgruntled former Golden-Road member.
** She notes that "The integrity of the site was long gone even before the new website was put up since it was the actions of the users that compromised it with the 2007 blow up over Barker retiring and the 2008 death blow of Dobkowitz being fired." Relatively few people were upset over Barker retiring, as it was his choice. By comparison, a '''lot''' of people were upset about Roger being fired, since he had been very kind to the site [[note]](giving behind-the-scenes access, supplying info about the show's history for the site's ''Price'' FAQ, and actively playing against the site's members in the Friday Prediction Game)[[/note]] and it ''wasn't'' his choice, having essentially been told "We want to take the show in a new direction. Either go with it or get out."
** The main reason the induction was made was because a former Golden-Road user had emailed Seidelman to talk about a disturbing incident in August 2008 when a couple of members were being ''extremely'' stupid in response to said user's loved one dying from cancer. While the user in question didn't paint the entire forum as being full of those kinds of people, Seidelman pretty much did.

** Cyndi has received some flak for her constant bashing of ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}''. It got to the point where fans couldn't tell whether her April Fool's induction of the show was authentic or if she was kidding.

* HarsherInHindsight:
** The 255th (and originally last) induction detailed the fall of ''VideoGame/{{HQ}}''. Five months after the video was uploaded, ''HQ'' reported that it would cease operations.
** Cyndi's bashing and induction of ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' for April Fool's Day 2010 became this after Creator/AlexTrebek's diagnosis with stage IV pancreatic cancer and later death.
