    Ben is great and the overall format is interesting and fun like Rex Factor. I like the French version of the categories like Oh là là for Scandal. Eliza, the cohost, can be very grating, which isn’t helped by audio issues. Her random “aaaaws” for instance are always way too loud.

    With any modicum of real power, Eliza would definitely be a tyrant.
