The best part about watching game shows is playing along with the contestants. There are some game shows like “American Ninja Warrior” or even “Cupcake Wars” where it can be a little hard to play along at home. We can only use our imaginations to guess if we think we would even have a remote chance of winning, but then there are game shows like “Wheel of Fortune” and “Jeopardy!” where we can actually guess along with the contestants and know for sure if we would’ve done well enough to win or go onto the next round.

Then there are the questions and puzzles that are very difficult to solve. Sometimes we are surprised that there are actually contestants that know the answers.
