I'm a huge fan of Big Brother and Survivor, but even that wasn't enough to keep me watching this terrible show for the full hour. I literally turned it off after maybe 20 minutes. The contestants attempted clever banter and it made my ears bleed. Terribly repetitive and boring. Sooo bad. Do not waste your time watching this garbage.

Garbage
Ottawaguy7710 July 2017
If you watched this show on Netflix, it would probably recommend that seeing how you watched Candy Crush you might like to watch a show about garbage. I watched the first 5 minutes of this train wreck, until I started to become sorry for my TV having to display the show. I then hit stop and deleted the show off the PVR. I guess if I was an 8 year old it may be entertaining.
I LOVE candy crush, but HATE the show

I was hoping that the first episode was bad because it was new and had "celebrities" for contestants, but I just watched the second episode and it it just as bad...if not worse than the first. It was impossible to follow the game. Every time I got to the point where I could see the board well enough to see where the contestants should move...they cut away to Mario standing on the side doing a banal play by play, or close ups of the other contestants. Its a game of strategy and if you can't see that...its BORING. And for Mario...is he getting a commission for each time he says the word "Matches"? I will not be wasting another minute watching this show.
Agonizingly painful to watch

What a jumbled mess of complete utter garbage this is! Kids screaming incessantly at adults who obviously have no idea what they are doing... Topped off with Mario Lopez's stupid banter! Is there a way to give a negative rating? [-10] Horrible! This should have been canceled before it even aired!
If you like drinking Drano

You might like this show if you love drinking Drano, or bleach. I can't believe this made it past someone saying " we should make a candy crush show ", let alone executives, test shows and stuff like that. Everyone who hand a hand in the development of this show should be fired and sent to Siberia.
This is the stupidest thing I've ever watched.

Really, who thought this was a good idea? Seriously!? Nobody even PLAYS Candy Crush anymore (and the game in general is a generic Match 3 game, so what's the point?). I understand CBS needs something to fill up time slots until the big fall season with new shows and stuff, but why air this!? It's like making a Pokemon Go game show! Also, all they do is swing people around and play a life sized version of the mobile app. I could literally just play the game on my device while a bungee cord is strapped to me. This is just dumb. Never do this again CBS.
One of the Most Ill-Conceived Ganeshows in The History of Television!

It is painful to watch this show...it is a jumbled mess. It is almost laughable. The producers have no idea how to put together a gameshow. There are so many problems...
1) The Game: There is hardly a game...they have to match up candies. And that's all there is...over and over...over and over...except they have to do it under different physical conditions...not very exciting. It's impossible for the viewer to "play along." All viewers can do is watch...and it is extremely hard to follow.
2) The contestants: They are absolutely the most obnoxious people around...They're cocky but they act like they are so cute and wonderful. Their comments and dialog seems so scripted. Nothing seems natural.
3) The direction: Somebody please tell the director that viewers are at least attempting to follow along...and we cannot follow along if the director keeps cutting away from the game to show us Mario Lopez narrating the action...STAY ON THE GAME ACTION! 4) The $100,000 prize: When the top prize is guaranteed to be given away on each show, the excitement level drops 90%. On this show, two teams vie for the money at the end of the show...one will definitely get it...thus, it's not IF they get it, it's WHO will get it. Since both teams are obnoxious, I don't care! I feel sorry for Mario Lopez...he seems like such a nice fellow and I'll bet he would make a good M.C. However, he should get a new manager...I don't care how much they are paying you, Mario, it's not worth tarnishing your career with this turkey.

Stupidly Horrible

If you love the game, you'll love the show
spinner3123 July 2017
I didn't think they'd be able to make an entertaining show out of one of my favorite games, but they did! I love how they change up the games each week and keep it exciting for the audience, so I don't get bored. The last game if my favorite and always keeps my at the edge of my seat. Can't wait for the rest of the season!
super summer fun
