Cram is a game show that aired as an original series for GSN in 2003. The show featured two teams, each composed of two contestants. For 24 hours before taping, the contestants were sequestered in a warehouse, with the intent of staying awake and "cramming" various material such as trivia questions and jokes, which they would then answer on the show while attempting physical stunts in an attempt to stay awake. Graham Elwood was the host and Berglind Icey was the co-host.
Round 1 Kim and Khris get 1 keyword from their article and they got buzzed twice, bringing them to 60 points. Melissa and Jeff got 3 keywords from their article and they got buzzed 9 times, thus bringing them down to 45 points. Round 2 Because Kim and Khris were in the lead at the end of the last round, they get to go first. Their test involves meat. As meat rolls down a conveyor belt, they have to pick them up and place them on their corresponding part of a cow, while answering questions about Arnold Schwarzenegger movie lines from Cram's Big Dumb Book of Stupid Lists. They get 8 questions right, thus getting them 80 points and bringing them up to 140 points. Melissa and Jeff's test involved posing as sculptures. One player runs over to a podium and makes a pose resembling that of a famous sculpture while the other takes a snapshot of them in the correct pose, all thile answering questions about Stephen King killers from Cram's Big Dumb Book of Stupid Lists. They get 10 questions righ

Playboy playmates Penelope and Laurie (I forget their last names) cram it up with civilian partners Chip and Josh. Penelope and Chip win the game, but don't quite get the $10,000. They win $1,300 each.
