I have to admit that last night's 1 vs. 100 episode was kind of a snooze. With the exception of that nasty salad question, everything was pretty predictable. The night's best moment may have been when contestant #2 nearly thought "Miss Mayonnaise" was an actual Clue character.

I'm still not thrilled about how over-produced this show has been in its first 3 episodes. I imagine even casual fans are a little confused when they hear Bob talking yet see the camera panning around the audience. These ridiculous overdubs serve only to overexplain the rules and just make the production look kind of unprofessional. It's a minor issue in the end, but (clearly) it irks me.

Also of concern, the show lost by a full ratings point to whatever crap CBS was airing at the same time. I didn't expect the show to win its timeslot against the World Series (the Cards won?!), but keep in mind that 1 vs. 100 was even with CBS last week.
