Turns out I couldn't muster up much hate. The show is hardly the greatest format I've seen, just another rehash of survey-says. But the proceedings move along briskly enough, and host Kevin Pereira drops in a decent quip now and then.
Through Skype four contestants play from the comfort (or discomfort) of their homes. The guess-the-survey-result questions carry increasing amounts of money. After each of the first three rounds, the low contestant on the money totem pole gets the video ax. In the final round the remaining Skype-er (is that a word?) can bet all or part of the money on one last survey question.
The surveys mostly concern silly pop culture and other goofiness familiar from Family Feud. At least the premiere episode offered a pleasant final round winner, a Southern grandma with the accent to prove it. The show is certainly dirt-cheap but far from unendurable. It's not an outlandish possibility that Let's Ask America might last a while.
