** Unfortunately, other than the new host, top dollar amount, location (in New York now), and theme song, GSN's revival is [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks literally the same show]], right down to the obnoxious padding. Also, the contestants in this version are much worse at the games, not getting higher than level 6 or 7 during the first half run of the show and losing lives on earlier levels. During the second half of the run, the contestants got somewhat better, but this version (both runs) tried to have new contestants at the start of each show, meaning it was quite predictable when the contestants would lose just by looking at the time left in an episode and the TrailersAlwaysSpoil.

** "Don't Blow The Joker", usually played at level 9, is painful. There's three decks of cards, each stacked on a bottle. The goal is to blow on the cards from the side, leaving only the bottom (joker) card. It seems simple at first...but it's actually quite easy to accidentally "blow the joker", especially when there's only a few cards, because you need the perfect amount of breath and the right angle to blow. The only mercy this game shows you is that you only have to pull it off once. This game was beaten more at home than on the show, ironically enough.

** "CD Dominoes" The game is one of the(if not) toughest level 7 game(s), if as everything at level 7 wasn't hard already. The game sees the player trying to set up twenty plastic cases that must be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKVjpt7JUPg set up]] to knock them all down (tip or blow, it was never said which one the contestant had to follow) to land the last case in a bucket. The difficulty comes from that the dominoes must be set up in a curve around a shot glass or red sticker. Contestants struggled tremendously with the game, losing their cool and having to reset dominoes. However, as long as the contestant knocks the first case down within the time expiring, the last case can land in the bucket after.
