TruTV premiered a new game show called "Paid Off" yesterday which not only tries to help the contestants (recent college students) pay down (possibly off) their student loans, but they also bring attention to how troubling the student loan debt problem has become. Buzzerblog with the review
Unfortunately, the Twitter TWITS out there, practically NONE of them having even WATCHED the show, are dissing the show, comparing it to The Hunger Games (Not the movies, the games themselves) *facepalm, along with tuba and groans* Anyway, your thoughts? BTW, yes I did watch but I will reserve my own review for after another episode airs...

It looks like the bonus round will have questions about the contestants major I can clarify that. They have a choice of their major (self-explanatory) or "NOT their major" (general knowledge). The player has 60 seconds to answer as many questions as they can. Here's the breakdown of the results. (No penalty for wrong answers) Right answers | % of debt paid | 1 | 5 % | 2 | 10% | 3 | 15% | 4 | 20% | 5 | 30% | 6 | 40% | 7 | 50% | 8 | PAID IN FULL!!! |

one would think it'd be easy to "know your major"

one would think it'd be easy to "know your major" Well, if one did well in the classes concerning the major, yes. But...

I'd be interested in how well I'd do in a know your major round, but I might be embarrassed at what I don't remember and/or The "powers that be" might ask me questions about my major, but outside the field of expertise (like asking me questions about rap, rock and roll, etc)

A contestant won the bonus round by knowing his major of Spanish Education. I'd of won a lot and I know very little about his major
