No longer standing?

Just saw lots of twittering on Alex Davis' account about the possible demise of NBC's Who's Still Standing. There was a burst of publicity several weeks ago about Ben Bailey hosting the Israeli import for NBC. But deathly silence has now fallen.

Some speculate that alleged injuries to contestants dropping though the holes may have nixed the project. GSN's Russian Roulette supposedly had such a mishap years ago, but that didn't halt the show's two-season run on the network. Maybe the NBC suits just looked at the footage and didn't like what they saw.

Or maybe the show will turn up one of these days, after all. I'm biased on this one, because I still carry a torch for my long-lost Russian Roulette. I'd like to see what NBC would make of a similar format.
