The contestants are ruining this show...
... I really want to like this show. I love the premise and think, if executed correctly with the right rules/contestants, could be really good.
The first episode I watched was the sisters (?) in Miami. That was a good episode. Otherwise, we've had two people completely puss out (completely FRUSTRATING to watch), one guy with a head so large he just couldn't help but give it away straight up, and the episode where the contestants won and the detectives weren't even close (although I didn't like them anyways, there was never really a sense of 'they are on the trail!').
Overall the stupidity of the contestants is ruining this show. Unlike other game shows, having smart contestants isn't going to make the show unprofitable. You are giving away a 100 grand regardless.
This is was turned me off from Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? I'm not saying I'm highly intelligent, but watching idiots blow simple questions on that show made me not only lose interest in the show, but faith in my country.
