Pass the Sham

A debacle is what Pass the Buck is. Desperate to create their first ever 5-day winner in the shortest amount of time they have taken to cheating. Blatantly, but shiftyness is not a skill the demons of Channel Nine have perfected in any degree. The carry-over champion went by the sobriquet of "Michelle" and looked quite idiotic for a liar in on a scam. The first of two Memory Round is played and another contestant, Alexandra, recalls the word, WEED. Soon the buck is going along until "Michelle" is given the buck. WEED again. Then someone utters LEG, then another and the second to mouth LEG is booted off. Michelle, having survived the travesty that is a dodgy ruling plays on and makes it back for another night. Never before has a game show been able to stir such hatred in the entire format. Except perhaps for Shafted.
