Terribly wild game featuring drunken celebrities, kissing and more. Two of the celebrities are old-hat to the game, but the competition is strong. The celebrities try everything from begging and pleading to basic strategy cards to make decisions. One finds that it helps, while others find themselves digging a deep hole. As the game gets wilder, host Matt can only cheer on the action as all control seems to go out the window.moreless
