This show is fun and I do like the concept. Jeff is such a handsome host! My only criticism is the part where the winner has to answer questions and go up from the number 5 spot to the number 1 spot. I watch this show all the time and I have only seen 2 people win. They won with easy questions but usually some of the questions are way too difficult. I mean, it is only $10,000 which is really not a lot in the world of game shows nowadays. My suggestion to make winning more attainable would be to either have the bonus questions have multiple choice like the rest of the game or to just have the contestant not move at all with a wrong answer. This going back with a wrong answer kills any prospect of a contestant winning.

Occupation
cknizner6 September 2023
Who is the idiot in charge of displaying contestants occupation? They are not on long enough to read. The last two people are displayed together , so even if you only focused on occupations instead of where they are from, it is impossible. Don't bother with displaying them at all would be better. Good show otherwise. Where is Jeff Hephner from? Who designed the show? A person in a wheelchair would be excluded, as they would be alright in the regular part of the show, but would be at a disadvantage in the Big Switch part. Why do you have a minimum size for your reviews? I've never heard of that before.
Musical chairs in trivia form.

This is a quality game show. The idea is decent. It's mostly entertaining. It also has a clear ceiling because of how random it is. There's several episodes where a person has been in first place for most of the show, only to lose out on the final in the end. There've also been various episodes where someone has been terrible for the majority of the show, barely avoided getting eliminated in the first two rounds and lucks out by getting the last question right. It is more of a luck-based show than a skill one. Knowledge is recommended, but far from a requirement. For an early evening GSN show, it's fine. But it's not as good as other shows for a reason.
Few win

Few win due to the fact that the questions are so random. It is painful watching contestants lose on a regular basis. Questions asked in the final to win $10,000 are all over the place. Just watched one where it covered a classical composer, war, sports cars, canine term, African nation name that uses all five vowels, the battle of Castillon, 26th amendment, Madame Tussaud's first video game-inspired wax figure from what Xbox title, Cooperstown, Mormon Religion. Contestant never got past position 4. Need to rethink how/ types of questions are used. Basically, the 10k win is futile. Not entertaining to continue seeing people lose and be embarrassed by their answers and penalized by having to go back a step. We have no plans to continue watching.
Bit difficult for 10k.

Like all the new and original games created for the GSN, this one also has a difficult bonus round. Questions start out easy but get harder as the contestant progresses...miss one and they go back (if they reach #3, miss a question, they should be able to stay there.) I've seen some get to #4 and end up back at #1. All that just for 10k?
It's the only one I like that doesn't really care who the contestants are. Most gameshows take time out to get to know them better... waste of time. In 20 minutes you won't remember or really care. Especially when there's more than 3. All we really need is "What's your name and where are you from?"...."Let's play the game".
