Don't the hosts of these types of show need to be witty, quick and slightly intelligent?
And like Cornelia Francis, have a bit of a mean streak.

They must be desperate if they are putting this crap gameshow back on air. It was different when it came out which was why it was popular. Odds are it will be axed in no time :thumbsd:

"her sharp tongue, wit and savvy presenting skills"
They're obviously talking about a different Gretel.

If they're not going to use Anne Robinson (host of the original UK series) then they shouldn't bother.
What is the world coming to?

1 step closer to dusting off It's a Knockout

I think she's become very cringeworthy in recent times from what I've seen of her on UKTV.
I thought Cornelia Frances was the best option for host of the Aussie version - she was decent.
Red Symonds (Cornelia Frances + prostate) would be a far far better prospect than Gretel Killeen.
1 step closer to dusting off It's a Knockout
I would love to see It's A Knockout return, but not at the expense of having Gretel Killeen even being employed. I want her to become homeless and abuse passers by who come within five metres of her.

Symons tried to host a Weakest Link ripoff a few years ago ("Shafted") and that failed.
The crap on TV never ends...terrible host and a tired concept. The novelty wore off after a few episodes.

I think the problem was that they promoted it much too hard on the basis of the gimmick... get a host to not waste time on pithy one liners and trying to build up the non-existent tensions between contestants. Just keep the game moving. In fact, get rid of the voting entirely and just bin the person who gets the fewest correct answers each round. Far too many game shows these days feel the need to fill the time with talk and stalling... GET ON WITH IT.
