Reception
An editor for Hollywood Junket drew comparisons between the series and Ashton Kutcher's hidden camera show Game Show in My Head, which debuted on CBS a year earlier. The series' ratings were below average for GSN (CNN's James Dinan described them as "ratings woes"), falling over time, and by April, the show was absent from GSN's schedule entirely.
