I’ve been watching a lot of it recently. It bugs me when someone gets the spirit of the answer right, but they don’t get the point. For example, there was a question asking what scents might remind someone of their partner. The contestant answered “wood”. Now anyone who knows scents and fragrance knows that sandalwood is a very popular scent. That’s obviously what he meant by that, but he doesn’t get the point. Later, someone does get the answer of cologne/body spray.

(It would be cool if anyone could help with my actual question, which is the title of the post. Lol)

    Ehhh, that’s a stretch. Wood is its own thing that has its own scent. I don’t think they should be turning wood into some kind of liquid product that may or may not smell like wood.

    Kind of like if they asked about a food kids like to eat and someone said vanilla. I wouldn’t expect a kid to drink vanilla extract or scrape up a vanilla bean to eat straight, and I definitely wouldn’t give them “ice cream” if that was on the board.

    Also, pretty sure these game shows have judges working behind the scenes. Other commenters blaming Steve Harvey don’t seen to realize he’s just a messenger/presenter

      You should expect an adult might. Specifically an alcoholic.

        You know, it may have helped if I wrote the part in my head that the theoretical question was “what are foods kids eat?”
