Me:Welcome everybody to Game Show Live! where we get lit and get involved. Let's kick it off with......
The Talking Through The Medias opening toss up story.
While everybody else was watching some Free ad-supported television, this happened.
They say all's fair in love and war, but does that include "emotional warfare"?
The production company behind the hit Netflix reality series Love Is Blind has responded to a Business Insider report in which multiple contestants alleged that they were mistreated, traumatized, and exhausted while filming the show, which centers on young singles dating and getting engaged sight unseen.
Kinetic Content said a statement provided to EW on Wednesday, "The wellbeing of our participants is of paramount importance to Kinetic." The company added, "We have rigorous protocols in place to care for each person before, during, and after filming."
Representatives for Netflix didn't immediately respond to EW's request for comment.
According to the BI report, published Tuesday, former contestants said they experienced grueling days of filming, endured sleep deprivation, were pressured to remain on the show, and were pushed to reveal insecurities and traumas on camera. One contestant called it "emotional warfare."
The Love Is Blind reunion didn't end up being live on April 16 due to "technical difficulties," but apologetic Netflix brass are very pleased with the viewership the streamer had once the special finally aired.
"We hate when these things happen, but we'll learn from it and will get better," co-CEO Greg Peters said today on Netflix's Q1 earnings video of the Love Is Blind SNAFU. "We do have the fundamental infrastructure that we need," Peters added, and noted "the good news is that you know ultimately 6.5 million viewers watched and enjoyed the show."
Netflix's reunion special for Love Is Blind Season 4 will finally make it to the air on Monday, April 17 at 12 p.m. PT, 19 hours after initially planned.
Netflix made the announcement in a message posted to its social media accounts on Sunday night. "Love Is Blind: The Reunion will be available globally at 12pm PT on April 17," wrote a spokesperson. "Promise."
Netflix has issued a new statement on its social media channels regarding the more than 90-minute delay on the live reunion of Love Is Blind Season 4. While the program was supposed to mark the streamer's second ever in the live-event space, unspecified technical issues forced that plan to be scrapped Sunday. The show did go on, though, with a taping before an in-person audience last night.
"To everyone who stayed up late, woke up early, gave up their Sunday afternoon… we are incredibly sorry that the Love is Blind Live Reunion did not turn out as we had planned," wrote a spokesperson via the streamer's official Twitter account. "We're filming it now and we'll have it on Netflix as soon as humanly possible. Again, thank you and sorry."

Not sorry however: SMRT Trivia doing Netflix Trivia. That was a lot of fun yesterday but today, one has flowed up stream and who got clogged like a toilet. It's the Yay & Yawn of April.
The Yay: Split Second. Drawing from what the 2 previous versions did, GSN took it nicely done especially it's new bonus round becauase the other 2 was for a car. This is well better.
The Yawn: Ben Chan. After 3 games under his belt, fligjt issues caused Ben to delay it until May. That is next month. But when?

Hang on for just a second.....
After this, snake oil sells for how much? That's after we hear from this.
(fade to break)
Colbi: Some members of our viewing audience will receive......
Podcasts......you should listen to.
FOX has ordered an all-new game show Snake Oil, hosted and produced by Emmy and Golden Globe Award-nominated comedian David Spade (SNL, Just Shoot Me) and executive-produced by Emmy nominee Will Arnett (LEGO Masters, Arrested Development), through his Electric Avenue Productions. In the show's all-new original format, contestants are pitched unique products by convincing entrepreneurs - some of whom are showcasing real business ventures, while the others are "Snake Oil Salesmen" whose products are fake. With the help of guest celebrity advisors, contestants must determine which products are real and which are a sham, for a chance to win life-changing money. Snake Oil is set to debut during the 2023-2024 season on FOX.
"When FOX asked me to host their new show, I was flattered, said host Spade. "But then they told me it was about a shady snake oil salesman, and I was a little less flattered to be the guy that immediately comes to mind."
"As someone who spends way too much time online shopping and specializes in buying random products I may never use, Snake Oil really speaks to me," said Allison Wallach, President of Unscripted Programming, FOX Entertainment. "David Spade's signature brand of irreverent comedy and Will Arnett's ingenuity, combined with the most bizarre consumer products ever devised, creates an incredibly entertaining guessing game that embodies everything Snake Oil is all about."
In each round of Snake Oil, contestants choose a pair of entrepreneurs and learn about their extremely unique (and often bizarre) products through visuals, a custom-made infomercial exclusively produced for Snake Oil, and by quizzing the business representative themselves. With the help of their celebrity advisors, the contestants must then decide who is selling an authentic product and who is hawking a sham. Will they make the right choice or be duped by snake oil?!

Friends. How many of us have them? Not Vernon and Alison.
Alison Hammond and Vernon Kay's 'Friends Like These' reboot has reportedly been shelved.
The pair had been due to front a new version of the BBC gameshow - which originally ran from 2000 until 2003 - and they even got together to film a pilot episode last month but The Sun newspaper now reports the project has been canned because TV bosses were worried there might not be a place for it in the schedule.
A source told the publication: "Bringing back 'Friends Like These' seemed a no-brainer but bosses felt it wasn't the right time, as the light entertainment schedule is just so packed.
"It's no reflection on either Alison or Vernon, who did a sterling job as hosts. There's hope it could be reignited further down the line."
Neither Alison or Vernon will be left short of work though - the former 'Big Brother' star has just landed a new role hosting 'The Great British Bake Off' while Vernon has taken over Ken Bruce's slot on BBC Radio 2.
'Friends Like These' first aired as a one-off episode in 1999 before returning as a full series the following year. It was originally hosted by Ant and Dec before footballer-turned-TV pundit Ian Wright took over.
The format featured two groups of friends competing in challenges in a bid to win a holiday. It spawned a series of celebrity specials which saw the cast of BBC soap 'EastEnders' take on the actors of medical drama 'Holby City' while pop groups Steps and Damage also competed against each other.

Jeopardy! is officially heading Down Under.
The iconic NBC gameshow's international revival continues apace and Stephen Fry, the host of ITV's upcoming British version, has been confirmed to helm for Channel 9.
Badged Jeopardy! Australia, the Australian version will be filmed in Manchester around the same time as the British version, but feature Australian contestants, with Sony-backed Whisper North producing both.
It will be forged as six primetime specials and Channel 9 has also acquired the 20 UK episodes, which have been commissioned by ITV.
"Nine is thrilled to welcome two great institutions to the network: Jeopardy! the world's greatest quiz show format and Stephen Fry the doyen of TV hosts," said Adrian Swift, Channel Nine's Head of Content, Production and Development.
Fry is already lined up to host an ITV reboot of iconic gameshow Jeopardy!.
The show, which will air as a 20-part order in the daytime, sees contestants using general knowledge skills to win rounds and amass winnings. In each round, contestants are presented trivia clues phrased as answers, to which they must respond in the form of a question that correctly identifies whatever the clue is describing. An extra round is being forged for the rebooted UK version.
The American classic first appeared in the UK in the late 1980s on Channel 4 and was also on ITV and Sky in the 1990s. ITV said Fry will "bring a modern twist to the cult classic."
Paramount Global Content Distribution handles format rights and Sony-backed Whisper North is producing in the UK. Jeopardy! has aired on US screens for nearly 60 years. The show will be filmed at dock10 studios and is set to air this Autumn.
"In the United States, Jeopardy! is a phenomenon like no other," said Fry. "Whenever I'm in America, I do my damnedest to catch it every weekday. The idea of hosting it here in the UK makes me dizzy with delight. Such a dedicated quizzing nation as ours will, I hope, welcome this uniquely beguiling and endlessly rewarding game."
ITV Head of Entertainment Katie Rawcliffe said: "There is no one better to host this classic game show than Stephen, bringing knowledge and entertainment to all of our viewers."

Did you Hear? Steve Harvey's in Malaysia!!!! Actually he's not because......
Television game shows have been around since the 1940s. Since then, there have been many shows that have entertained families around the globe. In the list of many is the world famous Family Feud.
The show started in the US under ABC in 1976 hosted by Richard Dawson.
After 47 years, Family Feud now has a Malaysian version in three languages; Bahasa Malaysia, English and Tamil.
For Bahasa Malaysia, the show is hosted by celebrity host, comedian and actor Nabil Ahmad. As for the English show, it is being hosted by stand-up comedian, actor and FlyFM deejay Douglas Lim. In Tamil, THR Raaga's Ram will be hosting it.
The original Family Feud which is still in production in the US has seen several hosts over the years.
The show gained worldwide popularity when Steve Harvey took over as the host. His comedic timing and the way he communicates and connects with the players attracted viewers' attention. Not to forget, his reaction to the answers that players in the game gives is one worth watching. In that sense, it is safe to say, the selection of the hosts for our Malaysian Family Feud could not have been better.
Harvey, in helping to promote our local version sent his well wishes in a video where he also said "Malaysia Boleh".
The Bahasa Melayu version of "Family Feud Malaysia" debuted on Astro on March 27 and is aired every Monday and Tuesday at 11pm on Astro Ria (Ch. 104). The Tamil and English versions of "Family Feud Malaysia" will debut on Astro in May and September of 2023 via Astro Vinmeen (Ch 202) and PRIMEtime (Ch 704), respectively.
