All That Glitters: Britain's Next Jewellery Star

Why is a Canadian who knows nothing about jewelry hosting a British competition for jewelers?

Her voice is annoying and she lacks poise.

The host should have demeanor of someone who'd shopped at Tiffany's.

The show needs Someone like Padma Lakshmi.

I have taken to watching this type of show to get a glimpse into the world of other talented folk and craftspeople doing their things. In the first episode, though, the host tells one of the female contestants that she should think like a straight while male, in order to do her best. Say what?! Right then and there, the show was done for me, until they change hosts. And...the show should not allow such damaging comments that show favoritism. Simply not appropriate...at all. The host puts me off this show. What a shame. I will peek in and see if they decide to ditch her. Then I will happily give it another chance.

This woman is more a comedy writer and less someone you want around when you are trying to do something difficult under a time constraint.

I binged season 1 today, and found myself utterly fascinated by the competitors' talent and creativity. The judges are judgy, which is expected. That host, though, went from embarrassingly unprepared (she squealed about the judge using what she called a "monacle" to examine a piece, when he was using a jewelers loupe--a standard piece of equipment) to gratingly annoying as she incessantly attempted (and failed) to be clever and amusing. Though I'm glad that another season has been ordered, I'm less than enthusiastic about her returning as host.

I must say, I'm surprised at these comments in regards to the host. I signed up for IMBD just to have some positive feedback for her! I thought she was hilarious and her dry humor was refreshing and added a needed element to the show. She pulled off her role perfectly. As a jeweler, I enjoyed the whole show!
