Rapid-fire trivia rounds. Contestants terminated through the process of elimination. An acid-tongued host who treats players with a level of disdain usually reserved for boot-camp grunts, convicted felons and people who try to sneak 16 items through the 10-or-less lane. Brit hit Weakest Link? Nope, we're talking about my guilty pleasure, The Game Show Net's Inquizition.

Sure, Link lass Anne Robinson hogs all the headlines, but there's something familiar about her menacing manner and the schtick of GSN's snippy host The Inquizitor, whose been weeding out the unworthy with barbaric barbs for three seasons. Separated at birth? You be the judge.
