The Chase

Two of the three chasers, Jennings and Rutter, are not only legends of trivia, but also very personable and likable. James Holzhauer, while an absolute titan of trivia, has the personality of a wet piece of toast. Twenty years from now if it comes out that James was, in fact, a mechanical robot wearing human skin, I think a lot of us will not be very surprised.

The thing that really makes this edition inferior to the original, is the host, Sara Haines. While attractive and personable (maybe she can give Holzhauer some lessons), she reads painfully slowly and makes the show very hard to watch. For a show that depends so much on the pace of questions/answers, they really missed the mark by not bringing Brooke Burns in to make the show flow.

I like the 3 experts, although the show could do do without the unnecessary banter back stage from the non chasing chasers. My biggest issue is with Sarah Haines. He is not as personable as Brooke and really needs to read the questions much quicker. She is way to slow. Don't know if she will improve over time. I will stick with the GSN reruns or the British versions.

I agree with the other reviewer. she would improve the show along with Mark Labatt.

Why they would hire someone with such an annoying voice and slow pace as Sara Haines is beyond me. Brooke Burns was such an appropriate host who was intelligent enough to read the questions correctly and at a fast enough pace to help the contestants. Sara, I am sorry to say, is not fast enough, nor smart enough to understand this game show. Please bring back Brooke Burns. Give the contestants a fair chance. Sara just does not understand how this game show works, nor does she have the intelligence to read the questions fast enough for this show to be fair. Plus, in my personal opinion, her voice is so grating and annoying, it ruins my experience of enjoying the show anymore. Please bring back Brooke, or any other host for that matter, since anyone is better than Sara Haines annoying voice.

Sara limits this show so much, though. She's terribly slow and lacks the personality to be a game show host.

The Jeopardy! crew lack personality compared to the original Chasers and focus only on snarky insults instead of playful banter.
