Cheat
Equal parts brains and blagging, this quiz show expects and encourages contestants to cheat their way to a cash prize. The one rule? Don't get caught.

The premise of the "game show" element of this show isn't actually terrible. It's a little twist on the classic quiz show that's fairly entertaining. The problem is the execution. They try to make it more like a reality show than a game show, so there's forced banter between the contestants and the hosts after every single question. It takes something like 20 seconds to ask and answer a question, and then you have to sit through 30 seconds of forced, fake banter. The guests aren't funny and the hosts aren't funny, so it just gets annoying. They also have way too much filler material and long, dramatic pauses throughout the show. At least 2/3 of the show is totally empty filler material or mindless banter. To top it off they seem to have geared it towards a very young audience as the questions themselves are things that literally everyone knows. You'll see tougher questions at an average bar trivia night.
