--- Quote from: kevin2012 on August 16, 2012, 04:20:10 AM ---I hate saying this, but I wish they would replace the host, Grant Bowler.
He was pretty robotic in the first season but I was more forgiving since it was.. well the FIRST season. But this time, he sounded very robotic and incredibly scripted.
There was that extremely forced and contrived laugh in leg 11 after he tells Michelle and Jo they have made the final three. Has anyone else caught that? it really bothers me with how... off it sounds.
There's the lack of consistency when he announces the team's placing.
He did the awful hand-raising thing while saying "in a race around the world!" line in leg 10. Ugh... I really hate that.
There's also what looks like apathy toward the teams in general. Barely asks questions or anything.
This is weird, but what is with that pose while he's standing on the finish line? He's got one arm on his hips and leaning his weight on it, it's the kind of pose you see female models do in magazine.
I've got more, but it'll take forever to list them all. In all, he's just incredibly unnatural sounding, I want a different host. Phil Keoghan perhaps? :)

This dude would be a legendary host.

I agree, there's just something missing about Grant. He never seems to show much emotion and the little spiel he did at the finish line just didn't seem all that enthusiastic.

And I really hate it when he doesn't say 'You are Team......Number...........' for some reason it really irks me.

I have figured out the reason why Grant isn't that good!
Show contentIt isn't that Grant isn't a good host, but....Show contentWe are comparing him to the legendary Phil Keoghan and compared to him, everyone is bad.

THIS.
I don't know what it was but the worst part of the season was at the Finish Line! His position just looked so awkward and he sounded so scripted and he was way way too enthusiastic and it all just seemed wrong!
