This one was terrible. Piers needs to be reminded he has 2 ears and 1 mouth. He spends the full 3 minutes for each guest talking at them and defending and deflecting . He sounded like he had taken some of Columbia’s finest ahead of the show. Avoid.
The format just doesn’t work, every time somebody with a long and good argument stands up they get voted out immediately, but when somebody with a stupid argument goes up they get to read out the whole darn thing!
What a niche! I’m excited to watch and learn from opposing viewpoints, while also learning more about those with opposing viewpoints. “Understanding” while still disagreeing is a wonderful thing!
This episode was an example of respectful debate. Nobody was yelling over the other. More episodes need to be like this.
I appreciate the concept but cannot stand it when it becomes a shouting match. I would say if each party are allotted an amount of time & then a rebuttal. It’s really annoying when they speak over each other. Some participants are arguing their discontent without much substance. So, how are the participants vetted?
