Round 2 testing is this afternoon. Getting nervous! I don't really have any expectations but I can't help but get some stomach knots. Should be fun at least! I have no idea how much talking with the staff member there will be or if it will just go straight into the test.

I'm sure there were people who disliked Chu because he was Asian but it's also easy to see why people didn't like him without any bigotry necessary, especially for those accustomed to jeopardy being played a certain way for decades. he also looked sloppy as hell all the time which probably annoyed the olds.

Is the host really why you watch the show? Did y'all want to be on to play the game, be smart on tv, and maybe win a ton of money? Or was it to have a Canadian snark at you for being in the negative? That said, if there's a ratings dip maybe they'll go Tonight Show and drop the new host for someone good

Aside from inviting in Bill Cosby or Harvey Weinstein at the last minute, there really isn't a bigger insult to Alex's legacy than to let a sleazy, misogynist, generic, white rear end in a top hat producer scheme his way into taking his job alongside a "scientist" undermining vaccination efforts and hocking snake oil brain pills.Golbez posted:Is the host really why you watch the show?

Ah, so they pulled an Amazon HQ2. (Sort of. It kinda sounds like Bialik will barely be hosting at all. Though I guess that somewhat tracks with the analogy.)

Or you were asking really stupid and/or disingenuous questions about why people don't want to support a show that is employing a piece of poo poo like Richards, so I drew a parallel to a similar situation where people don't want to support a company because of actions they have taken even if they enjoyed that company's product in the past  This isn't arguing about minutiae of hosting techniques or entertainment value, it's about Sony employing two objectively lovely human beings to replace a pretty awesome one. Saying "do you really watch the show for the host" sounds a lot like "you don't eat fast food because of politics, it's just chicken" in that context.

Richards is far worse to me than Bialik. I don't like either one of them but Richards getting the job feels slimy and underhanded. They should have picked Ken and/or Buzzy.

"Two objectively lovely human beings" I mean, hold the gently caress on here. Yeah, they're not great, but "objectively lovely"? How low is that bar, because if Mayim Bialik qualifies then it feels like roughly 2/3 of the human population qualifies. You're allowed to not like her being hired without going over the top. And then there's the question of, if they didn't even pick Richards, would you stop watching because he's EP?

There were better hosts who were better people who probably should have gotten the job instead so people don't have to choose between a quiz show and indirectly supporting that poo poo.

You just happened to randomly bring up Chick-fil-A despite that being the one new thread I've engaged in in the last year? Fair enough. So you aren't importing drama, you're just lucky in making it up. Edit: Also, wow if you think me saying "mayim bialik isn't an objectively lovely human being" counts as white knighting.

Duckman2008 posted:https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/mayim-bialik-on-why-she-supports-idf-1.5257647 Thanks! So apart from the IDF thing (which I agree is not something she should have done, for several reasons) it seems like she's done some lovely things in the past and appears, to my uncritical eye, to be either improving or at least acknowledging them. Wow, such a lovely human being, how dare she *checks notes* get a vaccine and apologize for defending Weinstein. 20 years ago, I was anti-vax, pro-IDF, and generally a dick. I got better. I'm not going to fault other people for at least appearing to try to get better. Golbez fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Aug 11, 2021 |

She's not blatantly anti-vaccine, but she does the far more insidious, "We should ask questions and it should be up to the parents to decide what is best for their kids," approach now. Also, this poo poo ran during the commercial breaks a lot during her two weeks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjPLuM8f62E Golbez posted:You just happened to randomly bring up Chick-fil-A despite that being the one new thread I've engaged in in the last year?

Or I live in Florida about half a mile from one of those places, so it comes up constantly here and I don't have to make poo poo up

So you aren't importing drama, you're just lucky in making it up. She also wasn’t good at her time guest hosting (she was, dare I say, objectively lovely). I should add that. Kind of important, although apparently not that much. Anyway, I mean I think everyone here seems to agree Richards is the worst part of this, but that said, they both suck, so it’s a double whammy of disappointment to see this poo poo go down.
