Long story short: I still don't like the show. The prisoner's dilemma format almost forces humiliation on the contestants by making them liars or chumps or both. Kennedy's sardonic attitude as the host doesn't help.
Call me sentimental but I prefer honest competition on my game shows. I know that lying is part of a format as time-honored as To Tell the Truth, but Friend or Foe takes prevarication and treachery to an obnoxious extreme.
On the other hand, it was nice to see a long forgotten effort on Game Show Central. At least GSN is digging deep into the vault, but they should have left Friend or Foe alone. Rustle up some episodes of Lingo or Russian Roulette instead.
