Could be that each team is a punter paired with a celeb?

Or a Bullseye style celebrity challenge round?

My first impression on the wording was a Bullseye style celebrity challenge round.

But as they’re all pairs maybe they’re be with regular contestants?

I'm genuinely excited for this. Always loved Supermarket Sweep, and I do like Rylan, there's just something I find endearing about him.

This is deffo made for ITV2, but the titles are nice. I think this will do just fine.

I disagree. Titles look like a CBBC gameshow, not a prime time ITV2 show...
Time will tell for the rest of the show.

It looks great but it's a shame they couldn't do something about the trunking connecting the podiums.

Love Island contestant appearance shoe-horned in. That won't age well when Challenge show it in 10 years.

A jackpot of £3000? That would have been big in the original run in the 90s. For 2019 it seems quite odd. Plus at 5 seconds for the correct answers is that how they are gonna pad this out to a whole hour?

The forced humour with the staff and security guard is also not necessary. It seems like there’s a lot of fat they could have trimmed to make it 30 mins as it doesn’t lend itself to an hour long format.

To be fair, as much as I’m no fan of Love Island, I’d rather the best show for now rather than worry about a possible repeat that may or not exist in a decades time.
DJ Dave, Brekkie and DeMarkay gave kudos

If you want to watch a gameshow where someone wins life changing money you don’t watch Supermarket Sweep, it’s just a bit of fun, the amount they win is almost irrelevant. It’s also inline with prize money on most daily gameshows.

And it’s not like when we see old re-runs of Bullseye on Challenge our brains can’t get around the idea seeing the woman who played Grotbags as a special guest.
