Anyone else watching "Distraction"?

Distraction info.

I thought it was pretty funny. The host is ok, but the "distractions" are silly and funny, IMHO. The comments by the host are pretty funny, too.

Anyone else watched/watching it?

what?

It's a question and answer-type game show. But while the question is being answered, they're given "tasks" (e.g., one task is putting clothes pins on your face during an entire round) and the person who gets the most answers correctly gets points, and at the same time, if they've "succeeded" in the task, they get extra points. It's quite stupid if you think of it, but silly to watch

LOL -- I didn't even realize the show wasn't finished.

After the "winner" wins the car, there's a final round where.. If he doesn't answer the question correctly, something bad is going to happen to his new car -- e.g., it gets paint all over the roof, or the windshields are broken, etc...

>.<

Aye. Great choice on the part of the producers.

I watched it yesterday to test it out. While being somewhat funny I found the ending to suck ass. The guy had to blow up prizes, basically he has to answer 5/5 questions correctly to get every prize. The only one he lost happened to be the most expensive prize, a Powerbook G4. I wish they would at least show us a schematic of the explosions to prove that they aren't lying to us, and him for that matter.

Yeah that's the one I watched. I thought it was a neat twist, but the powerbook of all of them...

Sorry for the thread resurrect, but I just saw a re-run of distraction and recently visited their website...
