It's an absolutely brilliant concept, and Graham Elwood, who I despised on "Strip Poker", is a perfect fit. I laugh out loud, at the sheer quirkiness of it all. (My favourite was recently, when two contestants were trying to tell what cuts of meat come from what part of the cow, while matching the names of old school rappers to their debut albums..IT was the first time 10 years Big Daddy Kane was mentioned on TV, I'll bet..*grins*)

Still, the best moments come out of the contestants who are so tired, they sometimes don't even realize what they are saying. Graham asked a recent pair how they knew each other. A decently attractive blond, and a portly guy...the woman immediately chimed in, "Oh, he has cable, so I pretend to like him.." Unbelieveable. :)

Give the creators credit: It must have been one HELL of a pitch..think about it: "Ok, we lock people up, make them study technical manuals and African Blowguns, riddles and stupid lists...it'll be great!!"

Among the creators is Jonathan Goodson, son of game show legend Mark Goodson, and former producer of the first two versions of "Card Sharks."

Actually, when I first watched this show it was a little annoying, however, this wore off quickly, and I have found myself liking "Cram" a great deal (it's lightyears better than "Friend or Foe," and I like Kennedy). Unfortunately, many of my fellow fans do not feel the same way.

Now, let's just hope they publish that "Big Dumb Book of Stupid Lists."

I've watched a ton of episodes but have yet to actually SEE the studio audience. I don't think there even is one, just an audience track.

The most annoying part is right after the contestants are in bed and have to balance on something... Graham tries to read the question but can't so it comes out as, "Name... name something... n... na... name something that... na... n..."

BTW, you also have to love the commercial with Graham talking to the sheep..

Graham: "Hey Ewe, what's my name?"

Sheep: "Gra-a-a-a-a-ham"

Graham: "And what's my name?"

Sheep: "Cra-a-a-a-am"

Like I said, I hated him on the $5 budget show "Strip Poker", but I love him on Cram.

er...the second line is supposed to be

Graham: "And what's my GAME?"

I think I need some sleep, too...

props to the people who come up with the different point getting objectives in the 2nd round. I agree with Dave that the meat one was outstanding.

Graham's a good host but needs to ad lib a bit more... his "i'd love to hang around and chat but you have to get back on the hamster wheel" and his "outstanding!!!" response whenever people win the 10 grand need to be changed to something else once in a while.

anyone know if it's against the rules for the couple to piggy back during the final round so only one person has to balance?

and what's the story with Icey? she needs much, much, much more screen time, imho.

I would like to hear from Icey on how to start a fan club for her. We need Icey posters! Icey and Graham should share equal time on the show. If you are out there Icey let me hear from you I'll check this site. Your biggest fan, Don.
