  • The Johnny Show to a fault

    As a challenge diehard fan, I feel like I have to listen because I just want more challenge content. But its really tough sometimes. Johnny obviously is an entertaining person but he doesn’t allow his guests much airtime, and he can’t ask questions that aren’t focused on anything but himself. He’s already eliminated from the season he’s covering and still asking guests only about himself/how they targeted him/how they feel about him etc etc. There’s very little room left to talk about their back... more

  • Great when the host doesn’t talk about himself.

    Johnny can be a great host when he lets his guests speak. He is a personable guy, He needs to offer insight without putting the focus on himself. I can’t listen to some episodes because of this. Less Bananas more guest.
