* {{Padding}}: Produced by the same people behind ''Series/MinuteToWinIt'', so it's to be expected. The game's meant to be fast-paced, and to be fair it '''did''' seem like that, but the execution slowed it down in most cases.
* WhatAnIdiot: If the players weren't picked by Central Casting, they were made up to look like they were.
** A particularly egregious example was a contestant who couldn't guess that the last month alphabetically was September (even with _ _ P _ E _ B _ _ showing) and refused to rattle off the months, only getting it with .2 seconds left. He then failed to guess that Tony the Tiger was Frosted Flakes' mascot, and was gone.

* MostAnnoyingSound: The music played whenever a contestant dropped, which sounds like a looped audio recording of pigs being butchered. "Boom, boom, boom-boom... SQUEEEAL! Boom, boom, boom-boom... SQUEEEAL!"

* SpiritualSuccessor: Can be considered one to ''Series/RussianRoulette'' in a few ways.
