Today's watch.

One of reason I'm started using YouTube was to watch game shows. I loved game shows and still do today. But there's some game show don't deserve my love.

One of them was Temptation. More specifically, 2007 American version.

Story of this atrocious game is a long one as far back to 1969.

Jack Kelly (yes, Bart Maverick) was down on the dump after Maverick was canceled in 1962 and some guys decided to pick him up and let him host a game show... that would combine the fast pace of auctions and the tension of buzz-in quiz shows. The show was called 'The Sale of the Century' and realizing that he is an actual actor Jack left in 1971 and was replaced with Joe Garagiola Sr. who left the field (and the show) in 1975 to support the Ford presidential campaign (much to later dismay).

But that's just pretense to 1983 when veteran game show host Jim Perry (of Card Sharks and Definition (cue Austin Power theme, which is reference to game show mentioned)) took the helm and revive The Sale of the Century (Bah-lop Bah-la!)

The show's quick pacing and quick-witted host along with some humor and epic tension made show last for six years before closing the door to the American audience.

(Break: It's a nice little show, not a classic people remember but a damn good one nevertheless. The rules were simple... here's some money and five dollar gain if correct, lost if incorrect and you can bargain for prizes and in the end there's a speed round which raise tensions to the max. The winner go on the bonus game, which frankly changed every few years... Did I tell you this was highly fast-paced?)

But not to the world! Some mind, namely Reg Grundy, decided to take the show underground and add some mini-games and show lasted for 21 years from 1980 to 2001, having two great host to boot!

Australian were missing the show so much, they decided to revamp (by removing most of the mini-game, therefore basically identically to the 80's US show) and re-title it Temptation and it was massive hit and ran for 4 years.

With this massive hit, America has no choice but take it and do it for themselves...

And oh boy, how did it mess up the game.

The show was notoriously choppy and host just being dry and not being there... seriously! It was least watched show in all networks for some time and it limped her way to oblivion.

So, here's a show from it...
