Andrew Zimmern really changed.. in a bad way

Anyone else agree? This used to be my absolute favorite show for years, but Andrew gradually got more annoying and cringing to watch in the last few seasons. He just needs to tone it down. It's like he's trying to find meaning in what he does, the way he explains where he is, what's being made, by who, etc. He used to just give some background about the place he's in, try the food, be a nice guest and move on..

But now you won't hear the end of him complaining about the bizzare food, acts arrogant like a know it all, and is trying too hard to be quirky and weird. He almost insults people the way he acts sometimes.. He just got incredibly annoying to watch, last episode I saw he was crying at the old lady who was thanking him for complimenting her food.. cmon Andrew. RIP my Bizarre Foods, thank god for Booze Traveler
