After taking a year hiatus during its first season, the insanity that is Killer Karaoke returns to truTV this evening at 10:00pm EST with a brand new episode, a new host, crazier and more bizarre singing challenges and a slightly altered format. TruTV gifted viewers with a special treat by allowing them to watch the complete first episode of the return of Killer Karaoke via the network's YouTube channel two days in advance. The revamped version of the show features former host of the syndicated version of Don't Forget The Lyrics, Mark McGrath, and a different format. Each episode of Killer Karaoke will now have six contestants competing in a series of five rounds, a revised performance scoring system for each contestant (audience vote + technical vote [lyrical accuracy and pitch]), the top ranking contestant in the first round receiving a bye through the next two battle rounds, more audience participation and a new bonus round. In the new and improved bonus round, the final two contestants will have to wear a suit covered with varying individual bills adding up to $10,000 and walk through a dangerous obstacle course specially designed for the contestants to purposefully shed money. And that's not even the worst part -- after both contestants have maneuvered through their respective courses, a box will be lowered over their head, forcing each contestant to literally face their greatest fears. The contestant with the highest audience and technical score at the end of the round will be the champion and will win the remaining money attached to them. On a quick side note, I believe the producers of this show were a bit inspired by the "Money Tree" game on Name That Tune to create the new bonus round. Listed below is a more detailed rundown of new format for Killer Karaoke:
