    It’s good that there is less giggling than the other weekend show, but arguing so loudly in such a high-pitched, irritating voice is like nails on a chalk board.

  • Could be better

    This group seems to be shy of professional collegiality and camaraderie which leads to excessive bickering amongst the co hosts and eventual spills over to guests at times.
