So instead of just quickly going over the obvious ones, they draw those out? Sounds like a terrible way to build suspense. If you lose your audience, it's not done right.

I remember a bad game show from last year called "Loteria Loca" where it was all luck and literally everything got drawn out way longer than it needed to be. It only lasted four episodes. The energy on that show was great, but the format was horrific for much the same reason as the one you're describing, Blade.

I'll just stick with the classics. They've been around forever for a reason. I mainly watch Price Is Right and Jeopardy these days, and they don't have this issue. Note how back in the Bob Barker days, he would draw things out a bit to bring an amusing reaction out of somebody, but he never took so long that it disrupted the pace. He should be the gold standard of how you make a reveal exciting.
