The Resume

    (August 6, 2013- )
    Airs on GSN
    Hosted by Brooke Burns
    Co-starring Mark 'The Beast' Labbett as the 'chaser'
    Based on the hit UK series of the same name (first aired June 29, 2009, on ITV)
    Premise: Contestants face off in head-to-head trivia battles against trivia genius The Beast (real name Mark Labbett) for a chance at a large cash jackpot

Why The Chase might be annoying:

    FOX passed on it after shooting two pilots.
    It is seen as inferior to the British version.
    The Beast is often rude to the contestants when they perform poorly.
    The Beast will sometimes act like a sore loser when the contestants win.
    The Beast usually beats the contestants.
    It has been criticized for featuring too many sexual questions.
    Having a former Baywatch Babe host has produced many obvious 'Beauty and the Beast' observations.

Why The Chase might not be annoying:

    It was a breakout hit on GSN, becoming one of the highest-rated shows in the network's history.
    GSN had such high expectations for the show that they ordered a second season before the first season even aired.
    The show is very tense and fast-paced compared to other game shows of its type.
    The Beast will sometimes compliment contestants when they do well.
    The contestants sometimes win pretty large cash prizes, especially for a cable show.
    It was nominated for a Daytime Emmy during its first year on air.
    Despite being a cable show, it has the look and feel of a major network series.
