Wipeout (2021)
What a Shame.....
Loved the original series. I was literally doubled over in laughter at the commentary of the two Johns. I've now seen a few episodes of the new series, and I think I've chuckled once. John Cena and Nicole are simply not funny and don't have any lines to deliver. In addition to the awful hosts, the course is worse. For some reason, it seems more difficult which makes for failed satisfaction of actually seeing someone make it through, and the editing is awful. You only get bits and pieces of competitors' runs. I'm extremely disappointed since I was pretty excited at this reboot.
Annabelle Comes Home (2019)
What a Disappointment!
The Conjuring movies (1 &2) are two of my favorite horror movies. The first Annabelle movie was not great. The second one was actually very good. I did not have much by way of expectations, and this movie failed miserably to even meet those. Pacing, horrendous. No Warrens. Too many unnecessary monsters and ghosts with little to no story or purpose. Characters (especially one) doing the whole I'm-going-to-touch-this-or-go-in-here-because-I-can. Honestly, the horror is skimpy and stereotypical. Some scenes dragged on forever with no purpose. My wife, especially, was looking forward to this and is usually forgiving of bad horror movie elements, but even she called it "trash". Annabelle should have stayed away.

Survivor: Persona Non Grata (2013)
Jeff Probst, the Pro
If you're a watcher of Survivor, then you already know that Jeff is probably the best show host of all-time. He demonstrated this perfectly in his handling of the Brandon situation. He, Brandon, literally looked like he was going to blow a fuse and rip Phillip's head off. Jeff never ceases to amaze me at how well he handles the sways of the game and the big personalities that come with it.
