Without even caring about the "teams," who would waste their time watching this dreck?

 

[Inky_Wretch]

People around 40 nostalgic for the old version from the 70s.

 

[Bob Cook]

Where's Dwight Stones? And is Joe Frazier going to swim again?

 

[Big Circus]

Dan Cortese! The ultimate fake-sports superstar.

Ben Davidson is not walking through that door.

Terrell Owens and Joanna Krupa

That's my team, man.

 

[playthrough]

I recognize only half of those names and I watch probably more than my share of ****ty TV. Fail, indeed.

Me.

That's not saying I'll enjoy it, but I'll give it a shot.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

I have no idea what these teams are even going to try to accomplish. What is this?

 

[cranberry]

A kayaking accident involving Estella Warren could be interesting.

Where's Dwight Stones? And is Joe Frazier going to swim again?

Lynda Carter in a bathing suit!

I went to school with Ali Landry. If she dresses anything like below on the show, count me in. LOL

 

[Armchair_QB]

I went to school with Ali Landry. If she dresses anything like below on the show, count me in. LOL

Dressed like a blue box with a white ?

Hmm, showing up on mine.

 

[Huggy]

I'd rather see a return of Battle of the Network Stars.

 

[finishthehat]

Hopefully all of them can master a bicycle better than Johnny Bench.

 

[ServeItUp]

Dan Cortese! The ultimate fake-sports superstar.

I am definitely DOWN for some Superstars. What are you doing... mañana?

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

The Sklar brothers are probably pretty fired up; Cheap Seats returns!
