come on come on come on yes i knew you were gonna get slimed i got it hey everyone
fringe here and i love nickelodeon game shows and i do plan on covering every single one of
them here on this channel but i wanted to start off with today my favorite of them all
figure it out it's figure it out the only show on tv where it's cool to be weird
a game show in which nickelodeon stars from the biggest shows of the time would sit at a table
and guess the secret talent of the child contestants hosted by my childhood crush
summer sanders please marry me no
the show would range from kids with pretty cool secret talents and some very uh non-cool secret
ones and i can fight cheese into the shapes of steaks sorry kid but you were just the filler
talent because becky who could do backflips over a shark take blindfold couldn't make it in
today there's florida very good excellent so the premise was super simple a kid would come out with
a secret talent a board with missing words would be pulled out and four nickelodeon stars usually
keenan thompson would have three rounds to guess the missing words via clues given to them and for
every round that they don't guess it correctly the kid would win a bunch of prizes like a toys
r us gift card a bicycle and of course a trip to st petersburg beach florida best russian pink
shell peach resort double tree hotel san francisco overlooking the bay vermont so yeah not bad prizes
this was a kid's dream to win stuff like this you bet your butt i wanted that yamaha keyboard i mean
yeah sure i got one but it's not as cool as summer sanders giving it to you
thanks mom and dad i think what made this show work so well was the involvement of the stars
at the time of nickelodeon they would always crack jokes or be goofy like they were on their
own shows which made it feel like everything was all connected because of figure it out now
it's not as exciting as the mcu but back then we didn't know what a thanos was but we sure
didn't know what a laurie beth denberg is tap dance with your shoulder you already have it
oh we don't deserve how great she is each episode would consist of two segments with one contestant
a piece trying to stump the panelists as they take turns asking basic questions to the contestant
and if they guess something right like this then you would hear this sound
that guest word would then pop up on the answer head revealing part of the kid's secret talent
if they did guess it right they'd be able to ask a follow-up question but if not they had to pass
it along to the next panelist in line but part way through each round a clue would be given to
them in a multitude of ways it could be thrown at you from the audience the charade brigade a train
little boxes that are on the table there were so many different ways but regardless it always was
fun to see how the clue would be randomly given if you beat the panelists in the first round you
receive a smaller prize nothing too crazy but something really neat nonetheless oh yeah please
don't let me forget the secret slime action every episode they would pick a random audience member
that would win a prize if one of the cast members does or says what the secret slime action is
for example if the secret slime action was thinking about a monkey and if any of the panelist
members does or say that thing a warning siren goes off and the slime drops on said person or
everyone if it's a group thing and also then the audience member wins a prize
it's a totally official figured out sweatshirt hey that's pretty awesome i kind of want one
of those can i pl give me give me it up next that strain on the brain figure it out
now back to that strain on the brain figure it out
after round two ends the contestant gets another prize are you a snowboarder no what is the matter
with you so not every time the kid would stump the panelists through all three rounds maybe
usually get through two rounds pretty easily but at least you get to take home the actual prizes
you had already previously won so you don't kind of give them up if you lose you still get prizes
one and two you just don't get the big old third package prize in cassie's case here she won the
snowboard but uh she didn't win the vermont ski resort package enjoy your nothing cassie at the
end of the guessing the kid would show off their talent and it was a nice touch to actually see
whatever they were guessing a little show and tell at the end never hurt anybody come here
my secret talent is being an irrelevant youtuber no ain't that impressive overall i love figure it
out it's a fun little show that has your favorite actors from the shows that you already watch
having fun or getting slimed while we see some cool and sometimes weird talents from
the contestants in the later seasons of the show they actually introduced new ways to play the game
specifically in season three they had family style so they would actually have the contestants
had their family members or anyone who was related be involved within the secret talent
and the contestants in general in season four dubbed wild style it would usually involve some
sort of talent relating to something to do with animals and billy the answer head would actually
be changed and shifted to different animals to fit the theme or just because these later two seasons
of the original airing were fine i still really much enjoyed them but there was just something
about the first two seasons in general that are really nostalgic for me and i really liked the
format that they had there but again nothing wrong with seasons three and four i enjoyed them very
much as well and i like the new additions that they tried to add to the show to keep it new
and fresh i for one couldn't even begin to tell you how many countless nights and afternoons i
would sit actually watching the show when they would air it whether it was on the games and
sports channel from nickelodeon or it was just on proper nickelodeon i love the game show era
and this show specifically had me up all the time getting excited about every single episode because
the cast members were always great to see just interacting with each other and i really felt more
connected like i said earlier i always loved that they would just banter with each other and then of
course summer sanders how you doing i love you you know and you know the kids had some cool talents
sometimes but really you know you can't you can't beat your favorite actors just getting slime
because usually they would only get slimed during the kids choice awards now we had a show that just
slimed him whenever and hey that's pretty cool i really do miss this era of nickelodeon and hope
we can get more shows like this in the future although they did try and bring this show back
around 2012 and it lasted for a couple more years it just didn't have the same charm as the original
show maybe it was because the panelist was made up of stars that not all of them i grew up watching
although it did have people from victorious icarly big time rush it just didn't have
all the stars i used to know and love there was a lot of people i didn't know who they were or maybe
it was the lack of summer sanders i don't know but what i do know is i've always wanted that figured
out t-shirt i mean can i just be an audience member that wins something i never win anything
remember because they got signed that means jordan is taking home a prize congratulations you just
