YMMV / Make the Grade

• Awesome Music: The music composed by Edd Kalehoff.
• Replacement Scrappy: Robb Edward Morris tried way too hard to be hip with the contestants and didn't seem all that interested in the game itself. Fans got some catharsis when he was pied on an episode of Family Double Dare.
• Retroactive Recognition: Domenick Abbate, runner-up of Survivor Ghost Island and The Challenge was a contestant on this show.
• Scrappy Mechanic: Fire Drills, especially if a contestant stumbled on one late in the game. Several times one player who had a huge lead on the board would fall victim to one and lose the desk to another who hadn't done much if any up to that point. It really gets frustrating to watch someone blaze through the board, only to hit a Fire Drill one or two questions away from the goal and ends up losing his/her seat to the doofus who's probably still wearing Velcro shoes, who then stinks up the studio in the Honors Round.
