As per Game Show Forum, Ahmad Rashad will be hosting the new game show Tug of Words coming to GSN this Fall. It's a cross between Tug of War and the UK game show Chain Letters(created by Mark Maxwell SMith for Barry and Enright in the US in the mid 80s), and will be produced by Michael Davies. Two teams of players will be competing to win a $10K top prize. Ahmad is 71 and will be the second host over 70 to debut as host of a daily game show, alongside Jay Leno who is 71 and will debut as host of You Bet Your Life on 9/13 deadline.com/2021/07/tug-of-words-ahmad-rashad-game-show-network-1234799160/

and like most gsn originals of the past few years, the beginning of the game is just filler while the last round determines the winner

I like this show for the most part. The gameplay is pretty enjoyable in my opinion. Two things I'm not a big fan of.
1. In the main game, if a contestant gives an answer before host Ahmad Rashad is done reading the clue, the team won't get credit for it because they spoke too soon. I think that's dumb. If the contestants are able to read the clue faster than the host, they shouldn't be penalized for giving an answer while Ahmad is still reading the clue. Players were never punished for speaking too soon while Brooke Burns was reading questions in The Chase, so why is this a rule of a sudden?
2. The bonus round. If you ask me, it's way too hard. I'm okay with the gameplay here being slightly different, but the winning team needs to have a 10 step lead ahead of the rope before the one minute timer is up. Problem is, every wrong guess pulls the rope one tug away from the money. Factor that in with the fact that the team only has one minute to win the money and they need to have a 10 step lead when it's all said and done makes this an incredibly difficult bonus round. Probably the hardest I've ever seen in a game show. I say either give the team a little more time (maybe a minute and thirty seconds) or decrease the number of steps the team needs to be ahead of the rope to win (maybe 7 or 8).

Saw some episodes this week, and I like it. Ahmad Rashad does a good job. I like the main game, the bonus game is too hard though I'll agree with the above on. Overall I liked it though.

Guess the show's getting a new host. Exit Ahmad, enter Samantha Harris.

I liked Ahmad, I thought he was good. Not energetic enough for GSN? Then again, Dylan Lane on Chain Reaction isn't as energetic but he strikes a balance I think, always liked Dylan on there.
