• The lead could use a little expansion, it should cover all main aspects of the article, including the production, the reception and possibly the merchandising.

• " answer five Idiotests " okay, you need to say earlier on that that's how they refer to the questions, as "Idiotests".

• "announced at GSN's 2014–15 upfront presentation on March 18, 2014. At the presentation, GSN announced" repetitive.

• "which began airing April 1, 2015.[7]" so 68 isn't the current total...? Is it weekly?

• "has generally received" is generally needed here?

That's it, nothing major, but some issues with some of the prose and some more content could be added to enhance the reader's understanding of the show's main concepts. I'll put it on hold for a week. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:15, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

• @The Rambling Man: Okay, I think it's  Done, let me know if there is anything else. Thanks, --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 13:39, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Okay, a lightweight article but one that nevertheless meets my interpretation of the criteria and isn't obviously defective in any critical section. Promoted. Good work. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:56, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
