I'll get my facts other places
It's hard to watch this show. I mean, I love watching gameshows and stuff falling off a 100 ft. building as much as anybody else, but this just feels so wasteful. The "replicas" are exactly like the real thing, and it is hard to buy into that they aren't wasteful. The trivia is either super easy or super hard, with little medium, and it all feels like a waste of time. I'll just watch Jeopardy! followed by Mythbusters and get twice as much enjoyment.

Could have been better...
The format was fine, but it needed some variation. Why not have different ways to fall off a building? A cage, getting pelted by ball during the decent, anything else to spruce it up. For a budget show, it does a fine job, though. Prizes are product placement standards, but is so cool to see them careen off the edge off the building.
