What do you consider the worst modern game show?

Richard Osman? I don't understand how you would find the guy annoying to be honest.He has a quite severe eye condition which means he can't read autocues.

I'm not a huge fan of House of Games or Pointless though.

Taskmaster is great.
 
What's that one where there are about 4 to 5 people in a line and they are all stood behind some kind of moving individual podiums which shuffle forward with a light either catching them up behind or in front of them, can't actually remember which way it goes. But anyway, they seem to have to answer questions to get the light to stop or generally waste time answering so it catches the others up or something. Whatever then name of that gameshow is, that one the worst for me. I think I've stumbled on it a few times and just the sight of the elaborate set is enough to instantly turn me off. What was the matter with the 15 to 1 format? Just do that.

Any show involving Michael McIntyre gets pre-judged so I'll never actually know if the format is any good or not. I can just about bare Bridge of Lies, only just mind. Grant Mitchel is just not gameshow host material, and it's one of those gameshows where they clearly tell the contestants to waffle about what they are thinking to fill the air. That is actually one of the things I find annoying more than any other thing, when your average pleb contestant has been told to try to waffle to drag things out, when a simple concise answer is all you really want. Fake banter/waffle is just something your average Brit simply cannot do convincingly.
 
All of them, they mostly ok for first series but after that become boring and then they do celeb versions and charity editions, all so boring

He gained his infamay from reading the answers from Google, pretending to be smart.
 
Anything with Stephen Mulhern in - so Deal or No Deal currently.

A game show almost totally reliant on blind luck dressed up as some sort of group bonding/positive thinking/ ESP experiment.

Used to watch this a bit at uni. Loved laughing at the people who had stats of where the 250k box was in past episodes, and use this to try to calculate where it would be.

My answer would be pointless (takes so bloody long, and why do they have to repeat every freakin answer!), or the one where they drop the coins. Takes bloody ages, and over the whole episode they probably ask about a dozen questions.
 
The new deal or no deal is woeful. I'm fairly sure all the contestants know each other from the local job center. Pointless was great when it first started but has become stale.

The real answer though is any celebrity special for charity. Absolute bore fest.

That recent celebrity/charity edition of Deal or No Deal was definitely rigged. Sure it started real enough when the jackpot box got eliminated immediately, but then the cynic kicks in as the show progresses.
