The Most Underrated Game Show Bracket (Voting)
« on: October 08, 2014, 09:23:24 AM »
There are many game shows in the world. A lot of them are well known, and ended up in the big bracket. But what about those that didn't? Shows people may not have heard of? Gems that for some reason got a bad rap? This is what this spin-off tourney will be about. The most underrated American game shows.

This will only be a 16 entrant bracket, because of smaller field size, and also my not wanting to do a 32 or 64 team bracket. Put your 10 favorite game shows here that follow these rules:

*The show must have aired in the United States of America. If the show aired in other countries as well, only the US version will count.
*The game show must not have been one of the 68 that received the most votes in Jordanar's bracket voting. You also cannot vote for The Price is Right due to forum bias. If you did pick such a show in your voting, I'll simply tell you and you can replace it
*The show must generally follow Jordanar's rules regarding what constitutes a game show. I'll be the final judge.
*If a show is part of a franchise, I'll count the entire franchise (for example, Wipeout and Winter Wipeout will be included as one). Also in general, by voting on a show, you are voting for its entire franchise.

I'll give you all at least one week to vote, and I may extend it to two weeks. Again, list 10 game shows that follow these rules, and the 16 that receive the most votes will make the main bracket.
Yeah...let's make this current shall we?

Just to protect against repeats, what were the 68 shows in the other tournament?

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

So I also realized I had one too many shows on the list. Replace both of them with just You Don't Know Jack.
