It's inconvenient.Īnother thing I'm not a fan of is that in the bonus round, if a card shows up that would give the contestant a 21, Alfonso still asks them where they'd like to put the card. Now the player has to remember what cards appeared on the 21 hand. Being able to see what cards have been played can help get an idea on what cards are left in the deck.
Once that happens, all the cards go away and the number 21 is just displayed for that row. I'm also not a fan of how we can't see all the cards that have been played in the bonus round once a 21 has been acquired.
I know 18's not the best, but it's still a fairly high number for this game. I'm watching an episode now and even though it didn't affect the outcome of the round, he never asked the player if he wanted to freeze on the 18 that he had while his opponent had a 16. It's not as exciting as it was before.Īlso, I'm not a fan of how Alfonso doesn't ask players if they'd like to freeze if they have something like an 18. As a result, this version doesn't do much for me. The new card dealer Whitney doesn't have the energy that Mikki did. From what I've watched, Alfonso doesn't have the energy that he had when he first hosted this show years ago. I know this is pretty late, but I have to be honest, I'm not too big on this version of Catch 21.
