Not only does the show suck monkey nuts because it is a second-rate rip-off of Japanese game shows, it has now claimed the life of one of it's participants.

The guy did have a pre-existing condition that causes unnatural blood clots.

The show is hilarious. One of the most popular on TV. I actually signed up for an audition.
And blaming them for this is like blaming Disney when some asshat with a medical condition dies on one of their rides.Colorado Dolfan, Ultra, Clark Kent and 1 other person like this. -
I agree with you that it isn't the show's fault the guy had a medical condition.
I completely disagree with you about it being hilarious. It's horrible. The announcers are poop, and are nowhere near as good as Kenny Blankenship and Vic Romano (who they obviously TRY to emulate).
You being on the show would be great, however, and I would tune in and put up with the announcers just to see brother Pagan on T.V.! -
