The 1% Club Australia

Great show with in interesting questions. But the host is dreadful. He sounds drunk. He is insulting to the contestants. He never shuts up while the contestants are trying to answer the questions. He is obnoxious and way too loud. He shouts all the time. Contrast his style with that of Lee Mack on the UK version. They are like chalk and cheese. Lee is professional, Jim just tries too too hard and it is awful. Perhaps he will settle down but he has a long way to go to be good. But if you can get past him if is a really good show as it doesn't rely n general knowledge but the ability to see patterns and use logic. Some of the questions are quite challenging.

I was looking forward to this show. It's not a straight out knowledge based show like The Chase, it's also about using common sense as well. When I watch the Australian version, I just want Jim Jeffiers to shut up with his stupid jokes. It's so hard to concentrate and think of the answers when with him yapping away nonstop. His voice is irrating. The only way you can enjoy this is to the TV on MUTE and turn on the subtitle.

The British version is so much better. The host is Lee Mack is a way better comedian and a more suitable host for the show.

I hope channel seven will change the host. If not this season, the next season.

I love the concept of this show. I started out watching the UK version and found Lee Mack funny and quick witted. If his jokes were in any way inappropriate, they were made in a way that wouldn't be noticed by a younger audience, and so we could enjoy the show as a family. Unfortunately, Jim Jeffries is so rude and offensive that we can't allow our children to watch it with us. Even when I watch it alone, I have to mute the TV so I can still see the questions but don't have to listen to the absolute rubbish that comes out of his mouth. It's a shame, because it's a really good idea for a show. I hope they find a new host. It has so much potential.

The Aussie host, Jim Jefferies, really needs to either be changed or totally and radically change his presentation skills (using the term loosely) He definitely should watch the UK host, Lee Mack, to see how he should present the show and indeed, himself. Jefferies tries too hard to be funny, he's crude and worst of all, the audience seems to believe they have to laugh at his not funny patter. Oh, and why does he have to shout all the time? Judging by all the very negative comments/reviews, it seems his hosting of this show (which in itself is a good format and fun to try to work out the questions) is going to be somewhat short lived.

This is a great premise of a show and the questions are fun to answer as a family on a Sunday night. We first saw this show in London and were really excited to see an Australian version was going to be aired. Unfortunately, we stopped watching when all the host was doing was introducing smutty, sexual inuendo with the contestants. There is no need for that at 7pm on a Sunday night when people are looking for fun, family viewing with an intellectual twist. What audience are they trying to reach? The people watching Bravo are already watching their reality shows, the people looking for some housewives are watching their choices, where is the option for people who want something different? Our family will stop watching now, such a shame and waste of a potentially good show.
