I only watched once, and what I found off-putting was the way they dragged out the quizzes. To me, the whole point of a 400-second (or however many) quiz is that it's finished in 400 seconds. Each time they ran a quiz, it was halted at some point in the middle for no real reason. To me, you don't build up tension that way. I was hoping that it would be something more like The Chase UK, where the Final Chase is easily the most exciting four minutes in TV. It wasn't even close.
