Is the Weakest Link real?

I just binged the first episodes of the new season 2. Some of these people on the show are ridiculous. What’s also shocking is some of the results.

-SPOILERS-

What really got me was the dumb rave boy getting to the final 2. WHAT? Then there was the black guy who eliminated a woman because he doesn’t like bees when the other woman was worse. Also, this woman Elyssa had a thing for one of the other contestants, Will, and he returned the attraction. She went on about how handsome he is, but he wasn’t even that attractive! In another episode there’s this Latino gay guy who attacks a stay at home mother for not having a job (he was great at the game tho). He clearly had some sort of alliance with the dumb guy across from him who seemed enamored with him and they took each other to final 2.

A close friend (and my former college ptofessor) was on "The Weakest Link" (as well as "Wheel of Fortune", & " Jeopardy!", to varying degrees of success). He's bright & great with trivia of all sorts. He made it until there were a total of three or four contestants left, & they voted him off, because they perceived him as a threat.

And as for the other two appearances: he made it to final Jeopardy, but didn't win, but did win his episode of "Wheel". He won money, & a trip to the Caribbean.

I just can't with this show. I have watched several episodes and they continue to recruit the dumbest, alternative contestants. I'm certain it's to guarantee that they never reach the million-dollar prize. I feel like the Anne Robinson version had a more intelligent contestant pool and higher prize values.

I’ve noticed that this season they have quite a few transgender or nonbinary-type contestants.

Anne Robinson was gold. It’s taken me a while to warm to Jane Lynch, but I find her okay as a host now. She seems to have found the approach that works best. Fun show.

Without Anne Robinson it's just yet another tedious game show

It's a lie

A fantasy we create about Anne Robinson and game show stages

As we like them to be.
