Battle of the Generations

Lily Singh was pretty much canceled...hasn't she gotten the memo? She offended and maligned several groups of people while making her millions. She appropriates whatever culture will make her seem "cool". She despises men in particular, Caucasian ones the most, of course, and over the years, clearly lost the spirit of fun and "kindness" that made her so popular on youtube. She obsesses over her numerous "identities" that literally no one cares about at all.

Found an interesting tidbit from a co-worker too: "I am a TV industry veteran and I work on the crew of Lilly Singh's new Battle of the Generations CTV game show. I am flabbergasted at how bad Lilly Singh is as a television host. She can not read off a teleprompter without flubbing her lines every two takes. She mispronounces easy names and words. Our crew works until 9pm every night because we have to do dozens of re-takes to fix her mistakes.

This is the real reason Lilly Singh complains on her gram about how tired she is. It is her own fault for being unprepared and unable to do basic TV gameshow hosting tasks like reading a few lines off a screen without errors. She makes everyone on set work an hour later than we need to because of her incompetence.

Lilly Singh did an insta story on how negative comments are not really constructive criticism if you don't know the person. Whelp, I work 14 hour days on your show Lilly so I do know you, and everyone there including you can vouch that what I say is true about you making constant errors and having to do pickups that delay production for hours. We are fed up and it's sad that NBC and CTV hire unqualified YouTubers like her rather than pros to host shows."

Had a hard time watching the first episode. The dialogue feels so scripted, forced and artificial with cheesy one-liners and cocky contestants.. The host needs to cut down on the energy drinks and contestants need to answer the questions without turning it into a blog-esque thesis. No way this show lasts. Must be one of those filler shows to keep people employed. The set is insanely large and disproportionate and some of the camera views show a disconnect between the host snd contestants. The premise of the show has potential, the execution has failed miserably. I'd rather watch paint dry than continue watching this train wreck.

This show has an entertaining concept, but its execution falls flat. The introductory segments, where contestants boast about themselves and their generation, come across as awkward. The absence of a live studio audience reacting to the contestants' answers and the host's banter makes the show feel dull. A larger budget might have elevated the production quality and made the show more engaging. Interestingly, there's speculation that season 2 was intended to include a live studio audience, but there's been no official word on when or if it will be released. Canada can do better than this flop.

The concept and structure of the show is intriguing. The generational pop-trivia debate is fun and the scoring system is interesting.

I just find the host presents is herself incredibly fake. She tries to make it intense and mix it in with being nonchalant cool. If you wanted the intense trivia show have a set that is like "Who wants to be a Millionaire." They also seem to pick the most annoying contestants. I am a younger millennial and I want to tell the Gen Zs and Millenials to shut up.

As I said, the structure and idea of the show is intriguing and I would potentially enjoy it. But, everyone on the show is annoying.

Actually its more than that....its really quite awful.

I like trivia TV, the pinnacle of course being Alex Trebek era Jeopardy. This steaming mess is NOTHING like that.

On the surface sure, I can see how this would have been greenlit by CTV. Get different generations of the same family together and get them to play Trivial Pursuit. Sounds good right? Sadly the execution is shockingly bad and most of it is because of Lilly Singh.

I'll admit, I haven't enjoyed any projects previously led by her and the reason remains the same. She comes across arrogant, smug and like she's "too cool for the room". And above all she's just NOT funny.

Full disclosure I'd be considered Generation X so maybe we're not the target demographic but I don't think that's it. While she might be OK in a supporting role she just can't pull off the lead.
