Official Love Triangle Discussion Thread

[phgellis]

And it would appear YOU have a problem with female hosts; otherwise why even mention it?

I refuse to watch this new show to. When it comes to GSN Originals, I think GSN has a problem with males in particular when picking hosts since Springer is the only guy currently hosting an Original.

So after watching the show, I have a few opinions. First, the set seems like it originated from the 80's decade. I understand the triangle theme because it's in the show's title, but for some reason I feel like I'm watching the Love Connection when the show first started. Secondly, Wendy Williams is doing fine. I understand some people don't find her attractive, but I believe the contestants should bring the sex appeal in this case and not the host. Her natural instinct for drama is highlighted in this show. I like the fact that she took time to explain little details about the show as well; however, over time I hope she doesn't continue to discuss all the details of the show, as I've seen other hosts speak before. Lastly, the wait time between the person giving the answer at the final phase of the show is WAY too long. I don't understand why game shows do this. The wait is not suspenseful after a few seconds, it's just annoying. Baggage has this same problem from time to time. Shorten the time please.

Other than that, it seems ok.

If you don't like dating shows, not a fan or don't know who Wendy Williams is then this show won't be your cup of tea. It's ok but I like Baggage alot more but just have to see how Love Triangle goes....

Here is another show that has absolutely nothing to do with games. When I tune in to GSN I expect to find games not some love triangle discussion show. What's happening to what used to be my favorite channel?

It really hasn't been itself since 2004. I've been watching since 2001 and have seen it through several changes. Some good, some bad. Mostly bad. What they could have done, and have failed to do, is order several revivals for 130 eps a year (same as what Global TV did with some shows), and still not spend quite as much as they have with Drew Carey and Wendy Williams. Thing is, it has to be new shows. 30-year-old "Tic Tac Dough" shows do nothing now, since many casual viewers can't relate (besides the world has changed a lot since then). Instead, all we get now are comedy and dating shows that, you're right, don't belong on GSN (which in case anyone forgot stands for "Game Show Network". *coughGoldhillcough*)

Another attempt by GSN to force feed us another stupid reality show! The Newlywed Game is bad enough with that screeching host Sherri Shepherd and Baggage is another one that makes no sense! Didn't you learn anything from the failures of HA and Instant Recall?

I agree with everything you said. Wendy is doing a great job and the show isn't that bad. One part I didn't like was when the door closed on the loser, yet she was still visible to us and she could see everything, forcing her to fake a smile as the man she loves proposes to another woman. I thought that was a little cold. The door needs to be solid and not transparent on either side.

Love Triangle was so incredibly boring. All they did was yap, yap, yap...by the time any sort of decision came along, I had long stopped caring.

I'd rather see...well, just about anything else in its place.

[SpeedAndStrategy]

I actually enjoy watching Baggage from time to time, but this did not appeal to me at all. A lot of it is that Jerry Springer is a much more appealing host for me than Wendy Williams. Another factor is that this show has a lot of chit-chat, while Baggage keeps moving relatively quickly. But Baggage also engages me because I like to see how closely people agree with me on what can and cannot be accepted in a relationship, and the show also reveals some interesting quirks in people, which I appreciate being a rather quirky person myself. Love Triangle, by comparison, just seems like a run-of-the-mill dating show.

I really hope this is cancelled quickly to make room for something better. I will never watch this show. The commercials were a complete turn off to me because of Wendy Williams. I had never heard of her before the promos for this and Dancing with the Stars (which I don't watch either). The promos made her look like her lines were forced and the show would be rather sleazy. She looks like a queen of plastic surgery with a very annoying demeanor. With the thousands of hours of great old game shows to choose from, why this?

[homebody61]

Absolutely agree! Williams herself admitted that it wasn't a show for children, so why is it on at an hour when children could be watching? Why does GSN try to attract more viewers with this kind of sleaze, when there are classic game shows out there that they might be able to pick up (and possibly improve their ratings!)? If GSN continues to air Love Triangle, it should only be shown after 11:00 (like "Liars"..that was a big hit too).

You can say the same thing about The Newlywed Game. If the stuff being talked about is inappropriate for children, why is it on at a time when kids are still up? The six o'clock hour is something that's pretty much full of talk about sexual things. If a young child were to ask their mother what they were talking about, do you think Mommy wants to go along with it?

Maybe 11 is too late for these shows. I'd go with late prime time, like in the 10 hour.

I got my first look at this last night. I really cannot see this show lasting on GSN. First, there's no Game employed into the show. There is absolutely nothing going on that is engaging to the home audience. People tune into GSN to see people playing games, not talk for a half hour. This is not The Talk Show Network, this is The Game Show Network. And Wendy Williams to me is not someone that would engage with Grandma. Heck, she didn't even last on Dancing With the Stars, which I believe is old skewing.

So if I had to guess, I would say that this show will go the way of How Much Is Enough? It will get its little run, and then disappear forever.

[matchgame74fan]

Just saw the show now. I do like Wendy as a talk show host on her morning show. Here? Not so much.

And agreed with the people who see little to no game in it. The only thing in that aspect that I see here are a bell and a buzzer.

[funnyducks]

I watched this show. It wasn't funny, wasn't interesting, probably will never watch it again.

Replace it for something better.
