The Final Straw, a Jenga-style game show, apparently didn’t achieve the outcome that it was said to when it launched last summer.
At the time, Rob Mills, EVP of Unscripted and Alternative Entertainment at Walt Disney Television, boasted that the series had “big visuals,” according to TV Line.
Rob ensured that The Final Straw would “keep audiences on their toes and entertain families all summer long.”
The purpose of the show was to have four teams of competitors battling against “tremendous tipping towers,” per the news outlet.
In the game, the contestants had to “successfully pull items from the stack without tipping it over in order to earn prizes.”
“If the tower falls, the team is eliminated.”
Despite Rob having certain intentions for the show, ABC appeared not to see the same vision since it was reported that the network canceled the game show.
While ABC refused to comment on their latest series ending, a source close to the network told TV Line that the show was ” “unlikely to return” for season two.
