    Anxiety says none. Practicality says “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” where I can realiably (at home) answer questions for a good sum of money (if considerably less than a million). However, anxiety still says “no,” because I completely cave under pressure.

      There are some shows where you always win. Those are fun, because they encourage the contestant to have fun, rather than playing strategically.

    Either Cash Cab or Deal or No Deal

    I love watching Cash Cab and trying to guess the answers, and I have a DoND app on my phone and I’m not too shabby lol

      But then you get in the cab, and all of your answers just kind of stay behind, and you miss every question.

    Time Commanders - a British show from quite a few years ago where they had a group of 4 people play Rome: Total War against the AI to reenact a historic battle. With two of the contestants acting as generals and the other two “control” the army - by talking to a guy on a computer playing the game.

    I think they deliberately avoided contestants who were somewhat familiar with the game but it just sounds super fun and they had an awesome screen-table with an overview of the battle. They should make a revival with a current game and just have experienced players act as generals to fight against each other with some of their friends acting as lieutenants.

    Supermarket Sweep - Running around the aisles of a grocery store to find items sounds like so much fun. I think of it every time I’m at the grocery store.

    I would love to be on survivor (if that’s considered a game show). Just having to “survive” and doing all those challenges while seeing if I can even have a social game would be super fun and interesting…

    Until I’m first voted off

      Love that show, tell Jeff I say hi.

      Couldn’t do it though, gaming is about as far away from survivor as it gets.
