Minute to Win It

“Minute to Win It” is a game show starring Guy Fieri, an Food Network personality and host of the show.  It is a game that challenges contestants from all over the world to complete seemingly impossible and difficult tasks within a given time.  They are given one minute to complete each difficult task.   The contestants need to successfully win ten challenges to get closer to the grand prize of one million dollars.  These tasks require skill, control, dexterity, and of course, speed to perform them.  The challenges range from stacking raw eggs using the inside of paper towel rolls (an easy task) to balancing 2 raw eggs on 2 light bulbs using a package of salt ( a harder task).  I have never seen anyone win the grand prize of a million dollars, however I have seen many contestants leave with a large amount of money.  A player wins money just by completing a task.  They have the choice to stop at any time.  As the tasks become more and more difficult to accomplish, they can choose to go to the next task or stop.  If they decide to continue, they risk losing their winnings if they fail to complete their task.  So one must be truly greedy and talented to win the grand prize.

This show is really amusing and entertaining to watch.  When I’m changing TV channels, it always catches my attention, and I stop to watch it.  Even though I’ve seen that particular show already, I want to see it again to observe and learn the ways to complete the task. Some of the challenges look ridiculously impossible to do, however, through luck and skill some contestants manage to complete them.  I recommend this show for anyone who likes game shows, or just likes watching “nail-biter” moments.  This show will keep you on the edge of your seat, and it is such a fun show to watch with your family.  This new show is on NBC and can also be viewed on NBC.com.  I hope you enjoy this show, because from all the people I have heard from, they sure did.  Do you think you have what it takes to complete the task within a minute to win it?
