Weaver<p>Always first to the new formats, this week I take another look at "Beat the Pack", a one-series daytime quiz first shown in 2013.</p><p>A quiz where the winning move can be not to play. And the one daytime show hosted by Jake Humphrey before he became Mister Sport.</p><p>Has "Beat the Pack" influenced the development of the quiz genre? Or was it a wrong turn with lessons we've learned?</p><p>And a few quick words on ITV's changed "Jeopardy!".</p><p><a href="http://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Weaver%27s_Week_2025-03-23" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Weaver%27</span><span class="invisible">s_Week_2025-03-23</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/WeaversWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeaversWeek</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/GameShow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameShow</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/BeatThePack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeatThePack</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Quiz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Quiz</span></a></p>

Weaver<p>You didn't watch Last Bite Hotel on Food Network.</p><p>Chefs take a limited supply of food with them, it's not replaced when used and has got to last the whole contest. Grub from eliminated chefs is redistributed among the survivors.</p><p>How to make chips with no potato? Improvise!</p><p>Glenn Hugill's a producer, which explains why Last Bite Hotel asks interesting questions.</p><p><a href="http://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Weaver%27s_Week_2025-02-23" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Weaver%27</span><span class="invisible">s_Week_2025-02-23</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/LastBiteHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LastBiteHotel</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/GameShows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameShows</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/WeaversWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeaversWeek</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/FoodNetwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodNetwork</span></a></p>
Weaver<p>So, how was The Traitors for you?</p><p>For me, BBC series 3 was a bit one-note: foolish Faithful didn't help, extremes of excellence from the Traitors were wonderful.</p><p>Production decisions meant there was no break from the paranoia, and production inflexibility closed off a couple of promising paths.</p><p>Changes to the final day didn't work here, need to see more before we conclude they're broken.</p><p>Worth watching, but they've done better.</p><p><a href="http://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Weaver%27s_Week_2025-02-16" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Weaver%27</span><span class="invisible">s_Week_2025-02-16</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/WeaversWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeaversWeek</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/TheTraitors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheTraitors</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/GameShow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameShow</span></a></p>
Weaver<p>ITV made some half-hour editions of Pictionary. Mel Giedroyc hosted, the first half of the programme was almost completely irrelevant to the result, and the programme had even less energy than a bunny powered by Other Batteries.</p><p>Plus! The University Challenge second round stats pack: who has scored a lot, who is strong in the useful categories?</p><p><a href="http://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Weaver%27s_Week_2025-02-09" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Weaver%27</span><span class="invisible">s_Week_2025-02-09</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/Pictionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pictionary</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/WeaversWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeaversWeek</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/GameShows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameShows</span></a></p>
