There are some things about game shows that just bother me.
It's like everyone suddenly becomes an annoying idiot as soon as they get on a game show. Even if a contestant knows the answer, they seem to be compelled to answer in the most idiotic way possible, they always seem to want to see how much wasted time they can rack up by stalling the answer, which is usually done by pretending that the joke they have in mind is funny, then laughing obnoxiously at their own joke, talking about how they know the answer, or both. This is especialy egregious on some game shows such as Cash Cab where the contestants seem to forget that faster answers can allow for more chances to get cheddar. I recently saw a guy on that show try to
do sound effects before answering. Also, what's with the contestants that don't use "lifelines" on the last qeustion, even if they're not sure of the answer? Also, on Cash Cab, it seems like Ben Bailey also tries to stall the game, and why does it seem like he says "if you get three qeustions wrong, you're out" as if the contestant is losing something? No matter what, the contestant/s get at least part of a free cab ride, so why do people react as if they're gambling?
On an unrelated note, why is Japanese food/drink so hard to open? Well, maybe not much Japanese food/drink is actually hard to open, but Ramune and whatever you call the frozen treat in
http://wiki.sos-dan.com/w/images/e/ef/T ... ron_05.jpg sure seem to be hard to open. Before Ramune, I never actually
needed the instructions on how to open something, and even if you do know how to open Ramune/that popsicle thing, you're probably going to break your hand in the process.
