well I know all that, and I sure as hell wouldn't want this show to turn into one of those boring quiz shows, but I just don't like how is it that Nicholas bends rulings for one person on a challenge, but suddenly turns around and denies that same challenge for someone else. i mean it's utterly mindboggling, especially in the light of the fact that Nicholas is forever wittering on about having to be 'fair within the rules of the game'. i mean the fact that he allows certain people to get away with murder and then when others try to do the same exact thing, they're penalized for being 'too clever'.

Exactly. Exactly. They're playing for an audience; they're not trying
to run a quiz show! Would you want JAM to turn into University
Challenge or Jeopardy, straight-up win points/lose points, no
tangential discussions, no room for rule-breaking? What is the point?
That is the question.

Don't pick lemons.
