Brooke chases

As a faux tweet noted, GSN is scheduling the debut of its version of The Chase for August 6.

Debut dates for GSN's Improv-a-Ganza and Family Trade slipped, so August 6 is not chiseled in granite. But those other two shows clearly had problems in production, which became all too evident when they finally saw the light of day. Both shows quickly crashed and burned with GSN's audience.

The buzz coming out of the tapings for The Chase, on the other hand, has generally been positive. In particular, the rumors indicate that Brooke Burns handled her hosting duties with aplomb. More than a few game show fans were wondering how she would cope with a serious quizzer.

To be honest, Brooke never particularly impressed me (except visually) on Dog Eat Dog. She wasn't hopelessly incompetent, but her interaction with contestants didn't seem to go much beyond, "You go, girlfriend!" Hope her efforts on The Chase will be more praiseworthy.
