This show grows on you. The host has a nice dry sense of humor. The teams are likable. It favorably compares to Family Feud, which has become needlessly raunchy and somewhat disgusting in recent years. I like how the question is visible on the board, unlike on Feud. It helps my hard-of-hearing family member play along.

I always thought this show looked dumb on the commercials but I started watching it and it grows on you. John Michael Higgins is a good host. He has a nice dry sense of humor and makes funny, witty comments when contestants give ridiculous answers. He is also very professional, unlike Steve Harvey. It's entertaining trying to guess the blanks and can be pretty challenging. Whoever wins gets $1,000 (divided by 4 people = $250 if you lose) And if you win you get an additional $15,000, so total $16,000 (divided by 4 only $4,000 each) and it's never a whole family, it's always a mix or a group of 4 friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. So maybe if the prize was at least like $60k that would be better cause then it'd be $15,000 per person. And they should make the first prize higher too. Most people don't even win the grand prize. Overall it's okay when nothing else is on. I'd still rather watch family feud though.

I enjoy this show. The first couple of times I watched this, I also thought the contestants could be actors (some were over the top), but I've watched more episodes, and see that the players are just very peppy and enthusiastic. The host is very good at interacting with the contestants. It's similar to Family Feud, but I think this show is much more family friendly and I think kids would enjoy watching this too. Glad to see that GSN has added a second half hour of the show (replaying the first episodes that I missed). I hope that GSN will renew for an additional season.

I like the show. My 8 year old grandson along with the rest of the family enjoy playing. I do think the winning team should receive some money for each correct answer in final round instead of having to get 10 right answers to win the $15,000. How about at least $100 per right answer.

I like the show and I like John Michael Higgins. But if you can't afford to pay out the big prize at the end, then maybe rework the business model or find more funding. Don't make people guess words like "jackalope". Are you fu**ing kidding me?

Found this game show while channel surfing! Love it!! Works my brain!

Great show. Do wish they would always zoom in on the answers. We can't understand when everyone yells it and without zooming in we can't see the answer. Great show though.

I wrote in December of 2020 with a suggestion. Thank you so much for listening. I have noticed the change in the show to mine and other fans about the suggestion. Just a suggestion: We never can see or hear the last word of each puzzle because the camera goes away from the board with the answers. Please give us the courtesy of keeping the camera on the board long enough to view the answers. Thank you.

Love Michael and the premise of the show, but I wish they'd rethink the bonus round so that people can win more often. MOST of the times they don't win the 15k and it gets very frustrating for the viewers!!

I am very curious about what the contestants see because they are looking off in a different direction. We can immediately tell whether a guess has a chance by the length of the word but I see contestants guess a long word when it is obviously a short word and vice a versa so do they also have a chance to see about how long the word is and they are just a dummy?

Also two comments about GSN. Why do they make it so difficult to leave an opinion about one of their shows and it is really annoying when you are watching a show and they either are advertising for the next show or showing their logo and they block the view of what we are watching which is often the clue or the answer?

I've searched long and hard to determine from where their answers come, but to no avail! Some of their answers are totally absurd! ...and why isn't the "Grand Prize" easily divisible by four, such as $16,000 (or $20,000) for instance?!

America says survey questions with the first letter of 7 possible answers .you & your team get 1 minute. Example. America says my Favorite flavor of ice cream is. .. C ______. Sometimes they yell out a word that has nothing to do with the question or a word that doesn't even start with that letter. One woman said Carpet ..really ?? Another of the 5 players said Rasin. That doesn't start with C.. .Some stare at the board as time goes by and wastes someon elses turn.there are questions with odd answers when they get revealed. Great host. Fun game yet frustrating.

One team member answered "scissors" twice to question about things that could poke your eye out. The correct answer was revealed to be "pair of scissors". If the response was one of the top 7 from a group of people, it impossible that they were all that precise.Does the person who posts the answers know what was included when the answers were collected. Why wasn't the first answer recognized? I thought this was only a problem in the early shows, but this example is from the third season. Here are a couple of other examples. Things that have to be bigger for Shaq, door jam was accepted but not door when proposed by the opposing team. For things in an office, copier was accepted but not copy machine. There are many more examples and they makes the show hard to watch.

This show is aggravating. Good concept but they clearly don't want anyone to win. For example: "name things you flip". One of the answers: "lights". Huh?? Did you mean "light switches"? There are about 10 stupid answers like this per show and the host tries to justify the answers. In my opinion, expand the budget or forget it!

The director needs to be fired, does not zoom in on the board when there are still blanks to be filled. We see enough of the host and contestants throughout the show, let's see more of the board. Host JMH tries too much to be cool and witty, and needs to chill on the paltry FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS (for 4 people?) said way too often. Sorry to be so negative, but would be a good show if they fix these flaws, in my opinion.

John Michael Higgins is the number one game show host in my opinion the show is relaxing entertaining fun and John has quite a personality I love the show

I enjoy this show a lot. However, I have to wonder exactly where they are finding the Americans they are polling....there are some REALLY stupid answers on there. I find the host to be good at his job and charismatic; the only negative thing I can say about him is that I think his pants are usually about an inch too short, and the brown shoes he wears every other day don't go with his suits...JMH, stick with the darker shoes!!!! Otherwise, my husband and I enjoy the show, and usually shout out answers at the TV!

America Says host is funny, charismatic and truly entertaining. He engages very well with contestants. My favorite show by far!

I must say that this game show has managed to captivate my interest and provide an enjoyable viewing experience. It bears resemblance to the classic "Family Feud," but with a unique twist. Instead of two families competing and returning in subsequent episodes, the show features two teams based on their shared interests or affiliations. This variety adds a refreshing dynamic to the gameplay, as we witness teams composed of skiing friends, basketball pals, church buddies, soldiers, and even families.

One of the standout aspects of the show is the host, John Michael Higgins. His humor and wit bring an extra layer of entertainment to each episode. His ability to engage with the contestants and keep the energy high throughout the show is commendable. Higgins's presence contributes significantly to the overall enjoyment and ensures that the viewers are constantly entertained.

In summary, this game show successfully blends elements from "Family Feud" with its own unique concept, creating a delightful and engaging experience. The inclusion of teams based on shared interests or affiliations adds a fresh twist, keeping the gameplay interesting and diverse. Additionally, the host, John Michael Higgins, brings his comedic talent to the table, adding a touch of humor and ensuring that each episode is a fun-filled ride. Overall, I would highly recommend tuning in to this entertaining and enjoyable game show.

It's kind of a mashup of Family Feud and Match Game. It's a lot less stupid and a lot more fun than I thought it would be.

Ok all you negative Nellies out there! They better renew America Says because we cannot get enough of it every day! We binge watch each season daily and watch episodes as a family with the kids, all shouting out answers together! To extract its maximum fun factor, we pause it on the beginning of each question and take several seconds to brainstorms the answers first. SO MUCH FUN! It's surprisingly even Better than Family Feud this year (although we love it too). I have no idea why the critics are so focused on the amount of prize money- WHO CARES? The audience isn't getting any of it anyway! It should be about the fun and skill of the game not money. Do you need payment to do a crossword puzzle or watch a great TV show? The entertainment is the reward! And this show has that by the millions!

I originally gave this show 8, but I lowered it due to the excessive interaction with the contestants. This is a game show, not a talk show. At least edit the excessive comments from these chatty people before you air the show. Let the team captain introduce each member and then give short explanation of what binds them together. End of social time with contestants 😁

A modern mash-up of the fill in the blank/family feud dynamic. The host is funny and engaging with the contestants. Best viewed with someone to guess with to enhance the fun.

"America Says" game show is somewhat fun to watch. Contestants guess at seven fill-in-the-blank words to complete a sentence based on a survey. Usually the teams cannot guess all seven. When missed words are revealed on the game screen to the studio audience, teams, host Michael Higgins, and the TV viewers, THE MOST INCONSIDERATE EVENT OCCURS: THE SHOW'S DIRECTOR OF CAMERA SHOTS CHOOSES TO HAVE A FAR AWAY SHOT OF THE LAST TWO WORDS SO THEY ARE HARD TO READ. WITH THE TEAMS AND STUDIO AUDIENCE YELLING I CANNOT MAKE OUT WHAT WAS SAID NOR THE SPELLING OF THE LAST WORDS. On occasion I run up to the 31 inch TV SCEEEN to see better . I am unhappy that "America Says" is not TV viewer friendly for me to watch the ending of each round before the $15,000 FINALE. Learn from Match Game hosted by Gene Rayburn. The answers revealed by the sliding panels are NEVER LONG RANGE CAMERA SHOTS. THEY ARE ALWAYS CLOSE UP SHOTS! "America Says", QUIT THE INSANITY !

How many times a show does host say "well done"? New host would improve this thing.
