With Nick at the helm on air and an original format from Talpa that includes surprising and competitive twists, viewers are sure to be immersed and entertained."

  1. Ooooo … my nostrils were flaring with excitement, then my wife told me I was actually snoring.
    Dear God can we beat this horse anymore?!

  2. Not including the viewers in the voting is a mistake. No one cares what the studio audience thinks. Just get all of your friends and relatives into the audience and you have won.
