Survivor Contestants Take on Rock & Roll Jeopardy, by Rob Daugherty: As you may know, Jeff Probst hosted another game show before Survivor came along -- Rock & Roll Jeopardy.

What did sarcastic host Anne Robinson have to say to them? And how did an hour show fit into a half-hour timeslot? The Weakest Link Premieres in Pro Wrestling Style, by David Bloomberg: No, there weren't any body slams, but the players on this premiere episode of The Weakest Link seem to have been coached to act obnoxious in the face of losing. Anne Robinson plays her role of a somewhat insulting host quite well, and does it in a way that the viewers can still like her and side with her against the players, some of whom don't come off as particularly bright.
