USA Today called the lack of response “egregious.”“What is a short memory?” a viewer snidely answered in the form of a question, as the show demands.“Unreal, why do these jokers know nothing about sports,” another complained.Although he and his opponents drew a blank on the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar, contestant Trey Hart won again to bring his two-day total to $34,300.Advertisement
