Press Your Luck (2019– )
10/10
Well cast. Fun Host.
6 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I'll admit, the first (proof of concept I hope) episode was a train wreck. The make up was attrocious, the hair looked like it was done by someone who flunked out of beauty school.

But the set was bright, the casting pretty much spot on.

The contestants are pretty cool, Mellanie (episode 4) was literally in trears durning her last few spins in the second round.

The host - Elizabeth Banks - is actually pretty amazing. She's good at the line readings. She is a paid actress and director, so she knows what she's doing.

I know there are some who hate her, for obvious reasons, but that's on them.

Any woman would have been a mistake for them. The original host I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER was no Gene Rayburn or Alex Trebeck.

But this little game - that dangles tailored prizes for the contestants - is aimed at emotional whammies.

I like it a LOT.

Is it going to make me forget Match Game? No.

But there aren't any drunk, flirtacious stars, so it lacks there. But for what it is, it is a fun and entertraining game.
