The latter wasn't just because they gave dumb clues or answers, but sometimes the clue givers would mess up or giggle uncontrollably, wasting time for the contestant trying to guess the answers, and at least one team won a whopping $0 in the bonus round as a result.

* WTHCastingAgency: After one of the 2006 pilots surfaced online, many game show fans have been wondering who the idiot was that replaced Tim Vincent with the walking douchebag that was Dylan Lane. Double points for recasting Lane for the 2021 version, considering Mike Catherwood was a significant improvement in 2015, though Lane got better in this version, as stated above.

** The pilots were far better, bizarrely- as stated, Dylan Lane wasn't host, plus the teams were ''Series/HotPotato''-style groups rather than gender-based, and each team started with banks of $1,000 to facilitate ''two'' betting rounds, both of which actually went well in the circulating pilot.
