No Season 2 for the prime time game show.
March 24, 2023
It is being reported by TVLine that The Final Straw has been cancelled by ABC after one season. A late summer entry in 2022, the game show aired a 10-episode run that concluded last September.
Hosted by Abbott Elementary's Janelle James, the competition series features teams of contestants facing off to combat life-sized tipping towers. Each themed tower is full of various objects like basketballs and small kitchen appliances, and the contestants need to successfully pull these items from the stack without tipping it over in order to earn prizes.

Mat I saw the exact same thing. I could see the wires holding up the large heavy things until the contestents moved out of the way. I also watched it was predetermined who was going to win.

It was way too fake with the staged rumble table. Producers were controlling when everything fell which means there was no point. You could tell it was so staged because things would shake when they were not even being touched.

Good! Now Janelle James can focus on "Abbott Elementary".

Not surprising. I watched this - it wasn't great.
