Bullseye is an American game show on Fox hosted by action star Kellan Lutz^[1] and comedian Godfrey. The show features contestants who compete in extreme challenges in order to hit or come the closest to the bullseye. The first episode premiered on Wednesday, May 27, 2015, at 9:00 pm EDT.^[2] The first season concluded on July 15, 2015.

On August 21, 2016, Bullseye was cancelled by FOX after one season.^[3]

Gameplay

In each episode, four women and four men compete in three "epic challenges" to hit, collect, or destroy bullseyes for a chance to win $50,000.

For the first challenge, placement is based on the contestants' distance from a bullseye, and the competition is separated by gender, with two men and two women being eliminated. The second is a challenge to claim as many targets as possible, and only the contestant in last place is eliminated. The final three competitors then race each other in a large course, and the person with the fastest time (or slowest depending on the challenge) after any applicable penalties (for example, for missing a target) wins that episode's money.

Then they will zipline all the way over to the final bullseye on the other side. They have an opportunity to add time to their clock by dropping bullsyes on the three targets on the ground. Each target they hit will added another five seconds, but the clock won't stop until they smash through the final bullseye. The competitor with the slowest time will zip their way to $50,000. Eliminated: Roddy (1 min 19 sec), Jessica (1 min 25 sec) Winner: Wes (1 min 26 sec) Overall Winner: Wes
