Cram is an American game show which aired on Game Show Network in 2003. The show featured two teams, each composed of two contestants. For 24 hours before taping, the contestants were sequestered, sleep deprived at a storefront (located at the then named Kodak Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, which is now called the Dolby Theatre). Contestants were then escorted to Sony Pictures Studios, in Culver City, California, where the actual gameplay would commence; with the intent of the contestants staying awake, and "cramming" various material such as trivia questions and jokes, which they would then answer on the show while attempting physical stunts in an attempt to stay awake. Graham Elwood was the show's host, with assistance from Berglind Icey, Arturo Gil, and Andrea Hutchman. Format The Rant Two teams, each with two members each, forming a pre-existing relationship, are introduced to the audience. To start, both teams were given a default consolation of 100 points. Round one consisted of The Rant. Each team was required to talk about one of three articles, (two in the second season) they had been assigned to read, while exercising inside a giant hamster wheel. The team who won a "3 a.m. coin toss", that was done before the show, selected one of the article topics to Rant about, while the other team picked from the remaining choice(s). (Which season two featured only two articles, and the other team automatically, were tasked with the other article topic). Each team had to talk continuously for 40 seconds, (which each team member respectively talking for 20 seconds) basically trying their best to memorize verbatim, and word for word, the article they have chosen, that they were indubitably presented with, and hopefully read to study before, with the main goal of having the contestant incidentally say a preselected highlighted key word from a list which the producers have previously chosen. (This list is shown to home viewers, but not the contestants.) If a contestant stopped talking, was stalling, and was being mute for more than a second, if a contestant stuttered or stammered with their speech, or if a contestant was going off-topic at any point, the team was penalized five points per violation. If a team said one of the eight hidden key words or phrases related to the article, ten points were added to their score. Which if teams are able to concoct more words
