Review of Catch 21

Catch 21 (2008–2020)
3/10
Unwatchable

Warning: Spoilers
This so called game show became unwatchable. The best a player can do is win $1000. That's not bad. However, the strategy is to get to the final round in hopes of winning $25k. To do this the player must draw cards hat add up to 21 three times. Very similar to black jack. Alfonso Robiero (spelling) is the host and does his best to be enthusiastic offering three players trivia questions typically from pop culture. If they guess the right answer a card is drawn. If they happen to get a combination of cards that equal 21 they win. There is no strategy in drawing the cards. The lovely lady that draws the cards has no special skill she just pulls the next card and flips it to reveal its value. The value can range from a 2 to an Ace (the Ace has a value of 1 or 11). It amazes me that this game show lasted as long as it did over 12 yrs. The chance of drawing 21 is very slim with the highest winnings being $6k. To win $6k you have to draw 21 twice in the final round. There is no shuffling of the deck the deck is just there and you assume it's been shuffled. On the rare occasions when 21 is drawn three times the enthusiasm is strained. The host congratulates the player and that's it. There's no climatic celebration w/confetti nothing. How about a fun game of Tic Tac Do?
