"Danger!" Fans are fed up this season: "I have lost all interest in watching"
The Quiz program faces criticism of current tournaments.
As a rule, when you connect to Danger! Each evening, you expect to see a new pair of new competitors faced reigning champion . But recently, the show broadcast more and more tournaments, featuring players who have already honored the Alex Trebek scene at a given time. Although it is fun to see our favorite players come back for another chance of glory, some fans have tired in the format, with one claiming that they actually "lost all interest to watch" The Game Show.
In relation: Danger! The producer defends the moment "difficult to watch" .
The complaints of fans concerning the lack of regular gameplay are not underestimated: according to J! Archive data, the last time a non-tournament Aireed finished Friday July 28, 2023, marking the conclusion of season 39.
The tournaments then took over in the light of the Guild of Writers 2023 (WGA), which lasted from May to September. Without Danger! writers to write new clues, the program continued to film with Recycled and already written questions In a series of tournaments, starting by second chance (with players who did not win their first match), then the champions Wildcard (featuring players who won a few games but not enough to qualify for the tournament championship [TOC]). The OCD - open to players who won four or more games - was also delayed due to the strike and was finally broadcast on February 26.
Fans broadcast their grievances on social networks, calling for a return to typical format as soon as possible.
"So, when @jeopardy gets done with all tournaments? Will they never have new competitors again? Each time [sic] I turn him on his tournament. So tired of watching the same players again and again. It becomes boring , "A spectator wrote on X last week.
On March 13, another wrote: " Tournament fatigue is real . I lost almost any interest in looking at every danger! NOW. - Tournament or not. I will stop if I return the channels but it is no longer "TV to go".
Unfortunately for those who had enough of the tournament calendar, there is more on the file, with the very first danger! Tournament by invitation (JIT) at first after the end of the current OCD this week. (Jit could Start until the end of March 20 , according to the way the TOC takes place, reported TV Insider.)

According to a March 13 on Danger! Official Instagram account, the JIT brings 27 candidates, in particular Favorite of fans Amy Schneider ,, Sam Buttrey , And Chuck Forrest . But while several fans are excited by programming, other commentators remain frustrated by the news of another tournament.
"I thought they returned to regular game after OC !!!!!!" An exasperated fan wrote. Another added: "Enough already with the tournaments !!!! Sheesh!"
On X, viewers have also sounded on "fatigue" in response to Jit's news, with a person indicating that tournaments are "so boring" and that the show " brought back unnecessary candidates "For the last competition.
"THE regular format , "Another fan wrote." I stopped looking at it and maybe I will come back when it's over. ""
In relation: Why the original Wheel of Fortune The host was dismissed after a single season .
Vulture also reported Tournament problems , noting that the increase in these competitions is part of the executive producer Mike Davies' agenda. Last year, Davies spoke at length about her conviction that Danger! is a sport And should focus on the implementation of the best players against each other in an elite competition.
But while bringing the favorites of fans who excel in the game can be fun to watch, a fan has pointed out that it is not as pleasant as the regular gameplay for viewers who want to play.
"The reason I hate tournaments is that the questions are so much more difficult," said a comment on the Vulture Reading piece. "Mike misses the fact that Danger! is this show you are watching at dinner where you are trying to beat your family members. I mean, I'm not an idiot, but I'm far from an elite player either. ""
So, if you look forward to the return of regular episodes, you will have to hold it while looking at the JIT, unless you plan to take a vision break. However, you will be happy to learn that there is an end in sight after that.
In response to an Instagram comment asking when the show will return to "just again regularly" Danger! The account replied: "Hey there! The regular season will return in mid-April after the conclusion of the invitational Jeopardy tournament."
