So Blossom is now the permanent host?


Man she sucks.

Unfortunately, that is correct.

I think it's still up in the air. I can't find anything that says she is actually the permanent host and that's the final decision. I have read that a permanent decision is coming very shortly.

I originally liked her, but as time has gone on I don't think she's doing a very good job. She's taking too long to tell contestants they're right or wrong on their answers and she doesn't make sure the contestants answer appropriately. Alex always did.

For example, the other night the category was M.R. Aye and she specifically said each answer is two words beginning with M and R. The male contestant (I don't remember his name) answered Ravel and she accepted it! He should have said Maurice Ravel - M.R.! All of the other answers in that category were answered correctly.

Last night, one contestant (the "champion") added way too much information and she accepted it! Luckily the judges didn't and her score was corrected later on.

I really wanted to like her but at this point she's proving herself not to be the one for the job. My husband and I really liked Buzzy Cohen when he took over for a couple of weeks. We're hoping he's chosen. We'll see. . . . . .

The ridiculously long pause before she says "that's correct" is incredibly annoying...

It sure is

Still doing it.

She sucks.

I gave up watching months ago, I'm glad I'm not missing anything!

Ken Jennings has been hosting for the past few months, not her.

I agree. I would choose Buzzy.

Wow that's interesting. I guess that's why Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors. I couldn't stand Buzzy. I put him in the same category as Pete Davidson (formerly) of SNL. They are so flamboyant, so in love with themselves, and so arrogant, I just can't stand them. Pete was 10x worse, but I just don't see the attraction. Thus, the 31 flavors. That red suit they show Buzzy wearing in the intro is just hideous. I can't stand people (Dennis Rodman also comes to mind), who have to try so hard to draw attention to themselves. Hugely insecure.

I wish they auditioned a bunch of no names instead of celebrities or former contestant and see if they could find someone with a good stage presence and a nice voice. Too many games shows now are just using celebrities as hosts instead of creating new voices in the industry.

reply

They guy who hosted Crossword should have been cosidered. Ty Treadway I think his name is.

reply

Now it is said to be Jennings.

At least it won't be some Hollywood celebrity.

reply

Too bad they can't get Stephen Fry. Jennings is an amateur, and Blossom/Amy is annoying.

reply


I think Jennings has improved dramatically - plus he's got the pedigree for the game even if that isn't a prerequisite.

Meanwhile, Bialik is worse than ever. The delay between the answers and the "correct" is longer now than it was at the beginning. It just destroys the continuity of the show. I don't know why they can't edit the delays out in post.
