Infobox

 * The image rationale is fine.
 * Great! --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 22:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * The executive producers are not cited, or mentioned elsewhere later in the article. Do they need a citation? Same thing with the production company.
 * I guess the citations can be the end credits of the respective episodes; Millionaire has a few refs like that. Should I do something similar here? --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 22:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. I was looking at the Millionaire article for comparison when I made the comment. — Bilorv (talk)(contribs) 23:12, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Add a  parameter.
 * ✅ --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 22:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Format

 * — should this be "However, if they elect ..."?
 * --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 22:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Are the three lives for each challenge, or for the entire game?
 * Game, ✅ --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 22:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Fouls? Like what?
 * Illegal moves, etc. ✅


 * I was really surprised at the complete omission of any examples (or even a full list) of challenges. Other than the mention of "common household items" in the lead, there is nothing said about the actual tasks themselves.
 * See this. If there is anything else I should do to tweak, let me know. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 22:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I understand not every task should be described in detail but couldn't an example, or perhaps a recurring theme in challenges (e.g. balancing objects?) be included? Is there a notable review of the show which comments on the challenges? Other than it being vaguely similar to The Cube, with a time restriction and something about household objects, I have absolutely no idea how the challenges work. — Bilorv (talk)(contribs) 23:12, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * — the word "various" is clunky and redundant; remove it.
 * ✅ --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 22:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * The bracketed  doesn't seem to make much sense to me — can it either be integrated into the sentence, or removed?
 * I can't seem to find this in the article. I'm probably just overlooking it, but could you tell me exactly where it is? --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 22:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Under Special editions:


 * Is Supercoin the name of one of the challenges?
 * --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 22:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * The heading "Payout Structure" should be changed to"Payout structure".
 * ✅ --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 22:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * For clarity, can the word "milestone" (used earlier on) be used in the "Payout structure" section?
 * ✅ --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 22:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Did any celebrities worthy of mentioning in the article appear on the show? Did any reviews of the show mention them?
 * No celebrity really did anything spectacular enough (such as winning $1,000,000) to merit any major recognition. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 22:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Production

 * How many episodes were in each season?
 * ✅ with the episode guide as a source. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:11, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Merchandise

 * The challenges (e.g. ) have quotation marks, while   (which I assumed is a game name) mentioned earlier on is in italics. Change all to one format for consistency.
 * , let me know if you would prefer it differently. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:11, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Lead

 * is a complete redundancy — the only piece of information not mentioned earlier in the paragraph is "60-second", which can be inferred from the title of the show.
 * --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:11, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * — this isn't mentioned later on in the article. Either repeat the information under the Production section or remove it from the lead.
 * ✅ --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:11, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Okay, I think everything is ✅. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:48, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yep. Pass for GA. — Bilorv (talk)(contribs) 09:55, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
