It's not a lack of interest. It's boredom with the Headliner categories because all of these categories have been previously used in the Headliner round before. Jamie Hilton, if you're reading, you have to get new questions in this game. I don't know if you don't have a writer or if the writer thinks they're writing new questions but there's a broken programming code causing the old, repeat questions to write over the new questions, but whatever the case, something is wrong. Up until about 4-5 months ago, buzztime at least had 6-12 questions per game on current hits, which at least indicated there were *some* new questions in the database. But this week, Fall Out Boy's current single was in the Triviaoke round, and as soon as I saw that, my immediate reaction was, "Wow, that's the first current song question that buzztime has asked in about a half a year"
If you can't get a writer, then let us volunteer for Viewer's Review. I'd be willing to write a game, I'm sure Ohio or Michigan would be willing to write a game. On the honor system, we'd sit out in the weeks that we write a game.
But I beg you, please do something to get new questions back in this game again. It is not very fun playing a stale game.
As someone who isn't a fan of the music being released today, I think they rely to heavily on today's music (by new, I mean within the past 3-5 years). Maybe they should go back to the original format where they had the one round dedicated to new music.
