When I get a little time
I will look at some episodes - I don't generally like "Reality TV" kinds of things, but I am a big fan of Iron Chef, so go figure...!

'go figure'
they are words from the english language but what do they mean when placed together like that?

I believe that it's
an idiomatic contraction of the phrase "go and try to figure that one our for yourself" or something similar.
Anyway - to the merkin - don't you have something called 'American Inventor'? I know i've seen some of the highlights on youtube like this guy:

(I was actually looking for a different one, but this came up first - it's weird...)

I don't like 'US English'
phrases like 'he wrote me' instead of 'he wrote to me' drive me mental.

they even say:
'i could care less' (instead of 'i couldn't care less').
the logic behind that one totally baffles me.

That show made little impact here, AFAIK.
But as I said, I don't watch much "reality TV" so I just might have missed it. It does not seem as slickly produced as DD.
A long time ago there was a quiz show called "Liar's Club"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liar's_Club - I did watch that every once in a while.
