We used to love this show and looked forward to it every year. Then they gutted it and we can't stand it any more Zak Bagans is the worst host. He's obnoxious, distracting and simply unwatchable.

Plus they eliminated got the pumpkin carving, removing what was already an under-represented art.

Those as well as other changes just sucked the fun and soul right out of the whole thing. Our family was so grossly disappointed with the new incarnation.

Thanks for nothing and ruining what had become a fun family viewing tradition for us every year. Was it hokey? Sure. But the cheesy jokes were part of the fun, as well as the tasting elements

Nope, nope, nope.

There's no heart to this program at all. No personality.

Or, none that's appealing. Aside from the Romanian couple, everyone was flat. Even the hosts bring nothing good. One's OK, but the wannabe style icon is really annoying and brings no value, adds nothing worthwhile. Even the judges are boring and have no charisma. It's all very repetitive as well.

The music drives me nuts, it's so intrusive. I'd far rather hear the contestants than saccharine renditions of tired classics at high volumes.

Overall, I was hoping to see a more professional version of the original show but they left out thebest parts and what's left is flat.

We decided to view it as "Jim Gaffigan's Australian Historical Reenactor's 300" and laughed like crazy. It's campily cheesy but does debunk a lot of the myths in favor of more considered and layered knowledge.

People have unrealistically high expectations these days-don't let the fake leopard, tiger, snake, zebra prints put you off. Listen to the information, consider it and have a little fun while doing it.
