  1. I really hope she isn’t permanent host. I’m not sure I’ll continue watching if she is. It’s painful to watch lately. I have tried giving her a chance, but am enjoying watching less each week.

    1. I totally agree. And she keeps putting a hard G in sinGer, rinGer. There episodes in a row she’s done this.

    2. blossom sucks. dude answer johnson as president and didn’t even make him differentiate which one. my gf and i both can’t stand her. we suffer through it, but if she ever got the gig permanently or like ever again after the contract is up, we’re done. and we’re fanatics. we’ll just quit.

  2. My wife and I have watched Jeopardy almost every night for years. Because we cannot stand to watch Myam Bialik we now never watch it. She is pretty much disgusting to watch as she single handedly destroys a show that we have loved. When Ken Jennings hosts the show flows and is pleasing to watch in the style we have grown to love.
    Any time she is on, we will not watch.

  3. Please, please bring back Ken!!! He has the pace of the show and is very enjoyable to watch. If she is permanent, the show won’t survive as we know it. I’ll be gone!

  4. I don’t like her she is rude and inerups the contestants talks way too much the show is not about her it is about the contestants please don’t put her in as the host please

    1. Gee, so glad she is there to hold down the podium with her “womenspreading” arm posture! Such a cliche move to “claim more space”. Also, the nasty, competitive way she has of correcting the contestants’ answers and pronunciation!

  5. Tried to give her a fair shake, alas, I do not like her hosting style at all. Everything is very choppy and there is no smooth flow to the game. Don’t dislike her as a person, but she IS NOT the right host for this show!

  6. I have watched Jeopardy for 50+ years…Mayim is upbeat, positive and pleasant… but she does not have the innate talent and ability that made Ken Jennings the G.O.A.T. in Jeopardy… She has awkward pauses and reacts slowly to correct answers and slows the game down and leaves the audience and the players in suspense as to the acceptable answer… Mayim gets a C+ for effort and attitude… Ken gets an A+ and is clearly the best person to become the permanent host.

  7. I do not like her style. Especially on daily doubles. It seems she is waiting for the answer to be correct and too much time passes before she says. That’s correct. I also think when a player misses an answer she tells them the correct one in a tone that says how could you miss this.
