Excruciating viewing even for daytime holidays

This is mind-numbingly boring television even for a daytime public holiday week. Checking the date of broadcast I saw this was first broadcast in 2015. Why would anyone unearth this 10 years later? Of course, the contests are fairly hopeless at answering questions and moderately hopeless at bowling a ball along.

I did get a bit excited when the host said, "one more question, Dominic, and we will release your ball", but that was it. It vaguely reminded me of a pitch I did for a quiz show 20 years ago, perhaps I should have includes some bowling in it, rather than the different lanes (for traffic in my quiz).

The game show genre features TV series with contestants competing against each other in various challenges, tasks, or quizzes to win prizes or rewards. Game shows are designed to engage viewers by presenting exciting and often competitive scenarios that involve participants using their knowledge, skills, and strategies to outperform their opponents and win.
