This is the lowest stakes thing ever but I am prepared to die mad over the fact that bravo is a television channel, not a television network.

Yeah… I probably wouldn’t have gotten it had my head been in the right place, but I was so primed to go over formation of broadcast networks or early ratings / commercial verifications that after it was over said “Bravo? That’s a TV channel!”

I didn't see it, but I'm guessing it's either "this guy played hockey in 5 decades" or "A goal, an assist, and a fight are the three things necessary for the hat trick named after this man". Am I right?

Edit:VVV :lol: that's awful.

No they gave his name. The category was looking for sports teams with "I" in their names.

"Gordie Howe played for this NHL team from 1946 to 1971"

I didn't notice Bialak at all, which probably means that she did a good job! I'll have to pay closer attention to today's game.

She's done better with the constant interviews than some, but I think I'm nit picking when I say she seems to be reading the clues strangely.

I was just thinking today how she seemed to hit the ground running pretty well, mechanically. But yeah, I noticed a few weird bits where she'd read the answer with the full "what is" when nobody got it that felt a tiny bit stilted. Overall inoffensive, though.

Yeah I'm actually surprised how easily she just picked it up and went with it, I don't know what I was expecting really but it wasn't "just gets it right first try". I feel like a few of the other guest hosts left some clues on the board because they were hesitating or reading slowly, she's just flowing nicely and aside from her couple "what is" readings her little interjections feel a lot more natural than, say, Rodgers or Richards who were clearly reading the little note on the game board printout thing.

I still don't like her vaccine shenanigans, but at least she's one host I feel confident is a lot closer to Alex in terms of intelligence and knowing a good chunk of the clues herself.

Pre empted for Democrats NYC Mayoral debate here so because nobody asked...

She's ok. Somewhere between Aaron and Mike in terms of presence so about 3rd in my pecking order. Given she's spent 15 years on camera, it's not too surprising that she's polished on the lectern.

That was bad. She also obviously favored the guy.

Everybody was off in the Jeopardy round and not just with responses, but the pacing seemed wonky as well.

Also she wrote an op-Ed for the NYT when the metoo movement started that basically went “well I didn’t dress or act like a slut so no one tried to rape ME, maybe that was everyone else’s problem”
