Her results don't seem to bear out that assessment.

Anyone know if this is a limited run, or an ongoing series? I have some stacked up on the DVR and will probably watch a few, but it's not exactly Must Watch TV for me.

13 weeks/65 episodes is what I'm pretty sure I read somewhere. That is probably typical for first seasons of GSN daily shows?

Re: Fun with GSN's "Best Ever Trivia Show" [Spoilers]
Today was an excellent episode for me. Instagets on almost every question in the game.
Apparently Ken didn't know that New Amsterdam was renamed New York in 1665.
Instaget on Subways. Boston- 1897, New York City- 1904
Groucho Marx's real name is a fact I have been bragging about ever since I was a sophomore in high school.
Knew the lottery question cold. It is mentioned in the WWTBAM Wii game as well as a World Record Almanac I enjoy reading. It also used to be a question in the Battle of the Brains topic on QuizUp.
Also knew Santa Fe before choices came up.
There was one question in the game though that I was not satisfied about. The question in which Netflix was launched in the same year Google became a domain name. I object to this answer. Netflix was launched in 1997. Google was launched in 1998(And it was originally called Back Rub.). If anyone wants to play defense attorney and say that the domain name has been around long before the company was founded, be my guest.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Best Ever Trivia Show" [Spoilers]
The Google / Netflix question was correct as asked, but a little sneaky since the domain name was registered in September 1997 but didn't incorporate until September 1998.
Not many people can say they've lost four times on Jeopardy!.

The current champion is the same Miguel who was on The Chase a few years back. He had the exact same story about that Quiz Bowl girl in college.
According to JayK33, he thinks it's www.j-archive.com/showplayer.php?player_id=7294 but no confirmation.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Best Ever Trivia Show" [Spoilers]
What kind of nonsense was this question in the bonus round?
According to recent studies, which of these numbers do people tend to view as feminine, as opposed to masculine?
44
197
3

Spoiler
The contestant missed with 3 while the expert was correct with 44. Thankfully, this is first of this kind of dumb question I recall seeing in 19 episodes and hopefully the last. I guessed right for a silly reason of 44 sounding like part of a woman's measurements.
The contestant still had a chance on Q5 and blew it by having France as the country for the Battle of Waterloo. Any of the experts would know it's Belgium and any contestant that dreams of winning the $10,000 and returning needs to know that as well.

Arianna got 0/4 clues correct in the Scotland category. This is the first time that has ever happened on the show.
For Ryan, the Ancient Olympics were banned by emperor Theodosius I in 393 A. D. 1896 - 393 == 1503
