I’ve been watching a lot of it recently. It bugs me when someone gets the spirit of the answer right, but they don’t get the point. For example, there was a question asking what scents might remind someone of their partner. The contestant answered “wood”. Now anyone who knows scents and fragrance knows that sandalwood is a very popular scent. That’s obviously what he meant by that, but he doesn’t get the point. Later, someone does get the answer of cologne/body spray.
(It would be cool if anyone could help with my actual question, which is the title of the post. Lol)
I don’t think I would have ever jumped from ‘wood’ to ‘cologne’. Yes scents like cedar and sandalwood exist, but they don’t smell like wood, imo. The smell walking through the lumber section in a hardware store, or cutting/splitting wood, or being in a woodworkers shop is quite different from the smell of sandlewood.
That said, there have been other instances where I thought the contestants have been screwed by the specificity of an answer, whether they were too vague or too specific.
Edit: This is the second time in a couple of days that I’ve linked to a Pete Holmes clip, but this is one that definitely toes the line during a celeb match.
Just a heads up, your link includes your profile. Delete everything after “?” to remove it sourcing your page.
Appreciate the heads up
Ehhh, that’s a stretch. Wood is its own thing that has its own scent. I don’t think they should be turning wood into some kind of liquid product that may or may not smell like wood.
Kind of like if they asked about a food kids like to eat and someone said vanilla. I wouldn’t expect a kid to drink vanilla extract or scrape up a vanilla bean to eat straight, and I definitely wouldn’t give them “ice cream” if that was on the board.
Also, pretty sure these game shows have judges working behind the scenes. Other commenters blaming Steve Harvey don’t seen to realize he’s just a messenger/presenter
In my limited exposure you the show, they actually seemed quite lenient.
If you’re a Christian, Steve Harvey will probably give you the point. If not, you’re screwed. That guy has some weird feelings about people who don’t share his faith.
Depends on Steve Harvey’s mood.
