I actually really like this show so far. But...


They really need a new host.

Jaleel White seems like a good guy and all but those voiceovers during the challenges just strike a nerve. I don't know if it's his voice itself or how apathetic his tone is but I really just wish there was a way to mute him.

He has this drawl to his voice that reminds me of the 'Myrtle' character he played on Family Matters everytime he speaks.

I don't know, the bit where he threw in a "Polo" when the two ladies were going across what they thought was a hole covered platform was pretty funny. And he has a few other moments in other episodes, though admittedly that's all I know off the top of my head.

I agree. I kinda wish it was Tracy Jordan (Scare Tactics) hosting instead and I HATE Tracy Jordan!

I take it you put his name wrong because you hate him!? His name is Tracy MORGAN!

I think he's OK. He's not vicious but he needles the contestants at times. He seems to fit the tone and nature of the show. I find him entertaining in this format.

I'm pretty sure most of his comments are all voice overs dubbed in after the fact when the challenges are over. The rarely respond to his voice and when they do it's pretty easy to think of something one of those 'guards' said to get them to respond. Then they come up with something for the host to dub in that fits it.
