The Chase

Why they would hire someone with such an annoying voice and slow pace as Sara Haines is beyond me. Brooke Burns was such an appropriate host who was intelligent enough to read the questions correctly and at a fast enough pace to help the contestants. Sara, I am sorry to say, is not fast enough, nor smart enough to understand this game show. Please bring back Brooke Burns. Give the contestants a fair chance. Sara just does not understand how this game show works, nor does she have the intelligence to read the questions fast enough for this show to be fair. Plus, in my personal opinion, her voice is so grating and annoying, it ruins my experience of enjoying the show anymore. Please bring back Brooke, or any other host for that matter, since anyone is better than Sara Haines annoying voice.

I like the 3 experts, although the show could do do without the unnecessary banter back stage from the non chasing chasers. My biggest issue is with Sarah Haines. He is not as personable as Brooke and really needs to read the questions much quicker. She is way to slow. Don't know if she will improve over time. I will stick with the GSN reruns or the British versions.

Brooke Burns hosted the previous US version of The Chase. She exhibits an amazing combination of orthoepy, personality and beauty. She must not be available for this new version because she is FAR superior in every way to Sara Haines. Sara's voice is actually slow and somewhat irritating.

The previous version also featured "The Beast" who both physically was the size of a beast and also served as a better foil for the crowd to root against. In addition, we got to see Beauty and the Beast in every show. The current big 3 from Jeopardy fame are very likable and thus don't set up the same tension.

All in all I recommend the previous version and give this one 3 stars for the 3 champs.

The pace of this remake is slow and drawn out. The host needs to be more up beat .

I agree with the other reviewer. she would improve the show along with Mark Labatt.
