Hello there...
I've been watching the Aussie game show "The Chase" now for a couple of weeks and all I can say, it really is an awesome format. (I am not dissing "Millionaire" here, as it has a big space in my heart too) It's for those who don't want to straddle for too long on questions and the questions are like from a machine gun that keeps on firing. I especially love the Final Chase, it's really nail-biting. The Chasers really make up a very formidable team.
But I'm here to talk about its host Andrew O'Keefe.
I to be frankly honest, even if I'm not an Australian myself, HATE him on this gig. Even a lot of people in its official fan page of the show seems to find him odd about his hosting style.
Here are some of my particular pointers why...
1. He could have been a good host of the show (although not as funny as the classy Bradley Walsh, --The German host of "The Chase" seems to work in a formal style also but still works) but problem is his expressions, his laughs including the "Haha-HA!" are sometimes too pretentious to hear.
2. I don't know if he really knows how and when to root a contestant and when the contestant loses, it seems as if he just doesn't care about them like he does not know when to put on a motivational face, or a sad face or whatevs.
3. I don't know why he just keeps on moving his hands like he is driving an orchestra or what...but that is absolutely distracting to the viewers and to the players and Chasers, I presume
4. His accents when reading questions especially with foreign sounds just seems odd and unnatural.
What do you guys think? Especially to fellow ausgameshowfan?
