Why isn't there some kind of perk for hitting 21 any more? If they're not going to award a bonus prize, grant an extra Power Chip EACH AND EVERY time a player hits exactly 21 to win a round. You're hitting everything right but your opponents lucksack their way into a 21? You're gone. I think Catch 21 falls into that latter category, and even without any criticism of Alfonso coming into play (not that I disagree with your assessment), this show fails on so many things.įirst.I kinda liked the points thing in the original format, where if you had a player that absolutely dominated the trivia but just got unlucky on the cards, they might still have a chance of making it to the 1v1 round.

For example, The Price is Right is one of those, where how a situation is played up (or not) can absolutely make or break a show, and there's more interest in that than the players and the games themselves.įor other game shows, I think the gameplay is more important than the host by a wide margin, and you could realistically slot any number of hosts in with a basic understanding of what to do and the show would still work.unless the rules for the gameplay suck at which point the show's going to go to shit. No-wall version: Throw the ball up in the air, do your spin while it falls and bounces, then catch.For certain game shows, I think the hosting and gameplay are equally important. Onesies: Throw the ball against the wall, spin around completely (360 degrees), then catch the ball before it bounces.No-wall version: Bounce the ball under your leg, twice. Twosies: Toss the ball under your leg and bounce off the wall, then catch.No-wall version: Bounce the ball, then hit it down again before catching. Threesies: Bounce the ball on the ground first, then use your palm to bat the ball against the wall, then catch it before it bounces on the floor again.No-wall version: Throw the ball up, let bounce, then catch. Foursies: Bounce the ball from the ground to the wall and then back to you (this is the opposite of what you do for Sixies).No-wall version: Bounce the ball on the ground five times, but throw it hard enough so it bounces up over your head.

Fivesies: Bounce the ball on the ground five times.

No-wall version: Throw the ball up in the air six times (no bounces).

Sixies: Bounce the ball against the wall and then allow it to bounce once on the ground before you catch it and throw it again.

No-wall version: Bounce the ball against the ground seven times.

Sevensies: Bounce the ball against the wall seven times.
