Yes that is Guinness and as a matter of fact the photo was taken while
IN Ireland; so that's the real deal I'm drinking!

I actually have something interesting to share here, maybe you saw it
too though:

Maybe like 2 weeks ago Tara and Amber made play2win myspace pages.
Like 4 days later, Tara e-mailed me and said that they were asked by
the network to take the pages down. Very interesting, eh?

Hi,

I found this online. It is a Play2win chat room. Looks like its still
new or in building stages but seems to be live.

Well, their both great hosts but I think I'm a little biased towards
Tara since she took the time to check out my DoD3 Play2Win page.

Though if I had just started watching the show, I'd be in the middle.
Like I said, their both good hosts.

Welcome to the group Gene. I knew dropping a link to my Play2Win fan
page on wikipedia would pay off one day lol.

As far as knowing more about the hosts; well, I'd like to at least
know a last name so their not as mysterious. The rest can filter out
under their own discretion.

And Tara is a great host for this type of show, as I mentioned on my
site. Amber has also been really coming around as of late.

Well, I for one am totally for Tara. I think she's great. Great
personality, vibrant, engaging, ad-libs, seems to honestly try to
engage the audience and make the games and puzzles FUN and is one
beautiful lady.

Here in NYC, Tara was the sole host back in August and I honestly
was a bit annoyed that Tara had to share the show when it came back.
But, then again, as someone who has worked in media, spoken in front
of cameras and news writers etc, I also used to think what a great
job she was doing at 2am live trying to keep the show going, the
flow of conversation good and stay "excited". It is tough. And Tara
is really good at it.

Nothing at all against Amber. I like her too. But, for me Tara is IT.
I hope she takes advantage of the exposure and at least gets her own
webpage going. The poor girls don't get any acknowledgement from the
show, WPIX or WGN. Ridiculous.

I saw it, and I thought it was funny. Like, it was funny because some
of the things, namely the point about the letters in 'letter shake'
moving, were things that I had picked up on before. I distinctly
remember that airing when Tara said something like "it may be tougher
because the letters are moving around" and me going "...what?" Eh,
when your improving, silly lines like that come out every now and again.

Hi,

In case you didn't see it or know about it, VH1's show, "The Best Week
Ever" aired a spot about P2W a few weeks ago. The spot as all of them
was very sarcastic, maybe even insulting if you take it too seriously,
but that is the nature of the show: to throw sarcasm at everything in
its path.

The good thing though which I can attest to as someone who works in
media (and did the whole Madison Avenue thing too) is that the very
fact VH1 spent several minutes covering the show means it is catching
on as a pop culture point of interest. It really is a form of media
flattery because you know your show is in trouble if NOBODY covers,
lampoons or cares about it!

Well, last night's show was ok. It was just ok because nothing really notable, other than the usual giving money away, happened. Though at the beginning of the show I stared at the center of the Fair and Square puzzle for a few seconds in amusement. The Fair and Square had the topic of "picknicks" apparently. Luckily Tara said something about it a few minutes into the game. Well…maybe the graphics guy wanted to put a reference to the New York Knicks into the show lol.

I have to give it to Amber, she's hosting the hell out of these shows now…if that makes sense. She could probably hold down a whole hour if they ever went to a schedule where the hosts take turns nightly (which I doubt they will.) It's actually gotten to the point now where it would feel kind of weird to have one host missing.

Quote of the Night:

"If you were on your couch, and you saw $400 floating by, you'd grab it right?" –Amber 

I don't know about that really. If I saw 400 bucks floating in mid air I would be kind of freaked out! Who knows what would happen if you disturb it! Lol

On a final note: If their going to play just the Fair and Square and Shuzzle all the time, at least make them interesting. Like in the FnS, instead of having 4 words hidden in it have one long word that people have to find…like `heliocentrically' or something. Lol

See! That's pretty tough!

Hello P2W devotees,

I was on Wikipedia and entered Play2Win and after reading the entry
(which you can find below I came across this site. NICE! Thanks for
taking the time to create it.

I saw Play2Win on its very first night on WPIX in NYC this past
August and have been interested in it ever since. I was SO happy to
see TARA back a few weeks ago hosting the show!! Tara is IT to me.
The show. I tune in because of her. I LOVE her personality. Adore
her smile and think she is a great host for this. I think I'll need
to send some e mails and notes to some magazines and papers and let
some writers know they need to wactch this throwback show to the
days of live tv game shows with no fancy $ or set and interview
Tara.

I have nothing against Amber but just simply am a fan of Tara and
believe she does a great job. Let's face it:

2am
Live
Little budget
Need to ad-lib, fill time, be personable etc.etc.

Go Tara!

I hope we all have the time to send WPIX a note to let them know
they should keep the show on the air and how about giving us
SOMETHING about TARA and AMBER????  I mean, come on!

Well last night was interesting, particularly in game 2, Amber's Shuzzle. Play2Win saw its second loss I believe on a game other than Sure Shot (I could be wrong though.) Of course, it happened when the guy wasn't near his TV and had like 5 seconds to answer the puzzle. Being a small show with only a handful of contestants, he was mentioned quite a bit, mostly by Amber, during the remainder of the show…which is kind of a no-no I think. Nonetheless, it was interesting as hell to watch. Of course I taped it last night since that's my early night…I always seem to miss the good things when they actually happen! Lol Last week it was the Shuzzle graphic drop out, this week it's the guy losing...

I can it was to much other stuff and not a attention on the games.
That and very low Production values. Best part was jeri Lee. But she
no Mel Peachey. I watch a lil of Play2Win I love for Tara to be the
third host on Playmania she fit in great and she hot.

I honestly don’t remember all that much from last night’s show after a long day at college. So I won’t even make any comments other than something I definitely remembered:

Quote of the Show:

“I know we’ve been playing the Shuzzle a lot lately, but that doesn’t matter, the money is what matters.” â€"Amber 

Oh how I feel the need to disagree…

Yeah, I have to agree that P2W is better than what was Midnight Money
Madness. I don't know, there was just something I never liked about
MMM and I can't exactly put my finger on the reason.

A new Play2Win week has started but unfortunately they stuck to the format that they used last week featuring 2 different games in the same 5 game configuration. What happened to Letter Shake, Pyramid, Missing Word, or even Sure Shot?! An interesting note about last night though: most of the callers were from New York City (a great deal from Brooklyn to be exact) even though the show was national. Something I definitely noticed was that Amber has gotten significantly better at hosting since the show's start.

As an end note: The puzzles last night were as easy as they could possibly make them. The first Fair and Square was like an insult! lol The people that watch this show aren't idiots; Play2Win really needs to make their puzzles a bit tougher, it would be much more fun that way instead of just seeing the game for 2 seconds and going "it's Scooby Doo!!" I'll put a Tara quote here from last night: "You don't have to be clever to play this game; you just need to be fast."

One more thing: Tara and Amber alluded to the fact that players need to put "1900" in front of their "1900 288 PLAY" phone number. That and when you enter online, you don't e-mail your answer. All I can say is jeez...lol

I came across Play2Win after watching PlayMania back
in October. It caught my attention because I've gotten
interested in these type of shows because of PlayMania
and I've seen a few of the British shows on the
internet. That, and the fact the Tara got my attention
too. (lol).

Welcome to the group everyone. Hopefully as time goes on this place
will start to jump a bit. So, lets start with a nice easy question to
start group talk. When and how did you start watching Play2Win?

For me, I was simply flipping through the channels back in August and
I saw the show on as Text2Win in it's second night apparently.
Actually, I bet most people found this show thanks to channel surfing.
Anyway, during the rest of August and September, I'd always think "is
that show ever going to come back?" while watching Playmania or while
scanning through my saved MS Word documents as one of them was a
comparison of PM and Text2Win which was at that point bound for my
site (that particular one never made it btw.) So then on October 14th
or so, I was looking at an online guide for what's going to be on TV
and I saw some show called Play2Win listed for the next night on
CW-11. I was like "WHOA! It's coming back!?" I would have had no clue
if I didn't look at the schedule.

So yeah, thats my story. What's yours?

Thank you for making this site. I love play2win and I was hoping to
find some place like this where I could meet other fans.

    I sort of half watched this show as I was doing some work on the computer and keeping an ear on the TV to make sure I get the information that I need. Occasionally I stepped into the other room to actually watch a couple minutes here and there. With that out of the way, I noticed that they weren't using the clock music all the way through the timer's duration. THANK GOD. Amber eluded to that fact near the end of her first Shuzzle and I dashed into the room to hear it first hand and bask for second in the non-clicking glory.

    I stayed for Tara's second Shuzzle after noticing that the answer, in a weird coincidence (or was it...), was "roller coaster." Anyone who has seen my site would absolutely know that I'm a huge amusement park fan. For clues, Tara noted that the longest of "these" was in Ohio and it is named the 'Beast.' Yes that is kind of true, it is in fact the longest in the US, but not in the world. After the break she added the word 'fastest' to the mix, which is wrong when talking about Ohio coasters. In 2004 it was true but now the fastest (and tallest) resides in my home state of NJ. Heres a great pic of it for anyone who cares.

     Finally, the show seemed about as good as last night's broadcast talent-wise. Technically the show seemed better than some episodes I've seen. I definitely noticed that the momentary break in some of the cutscenes was fixed. The control room seemed to run a nice show last night from what I saw.

This show went pretty smoothly; actually it went so smoothly that there's next to nothing to talk about here! I liked how Amber said that her "magic wasn't working" whenever the timer clock would come on minus the timer clicking music. No Amber, your magic was working in that you effectively made the clicking noise go away! THANK YOU! 

In the GSN forums I said, and I quote: "If they play Fair and Square, Shuzzle, Shuzzle, Shuzzle, and Fair and Square in that order for the 4^th night in a row…I'll kick the TV in." Well they did, and I kicked the TV in with the help of my black steel toed boots. No I'm kidding…but when they do it again tonight…

As a final note: Tara looked absolutely stunning on the show last night and if common tradition holds true, she'll look completely different tonight.

First off, this airing was only seen in the NY/NJ area due to the show simply not being aired nationally on Fridays.

Once again, they decided to go the route of playing the same 2 games in the same 5 game configuration. For most people that watch the show, it doesn't matter because they probably only catch it maybe 2 nights a week. Since I have it on every night, it got pretty bland to me and probably to other nightly viewers. Hopefully they were just reconfiguring the other games or something and their not planning on showing endless amounts of Fair and Squares and Shuzzles for the rest of the shows' life. I'm just begging to see Sure Shot again even though it's such a backwards game. Plus I'll get to report a different amount of `total players' and `total winners' for once.

Ok, now that I got my little tirade out of the way: Hosting was good last night; both Amber and Tara seemed to just roll right along from what I caught. Production was exceptional as well; they seemed to have ironed out all of the little quarks they had in the shows first couple of weeks. Finally, turn your TVs down people, please! I heard the TV delay come through clear as day last night due to a contestant talking on the show with their TVs volume cranked to 11.
