That is my opinion of the new format.
I will now go search out what you-all said.
I would use Skype to talk to a dear friend/relative I could not get to see because they live in, like, Antarctica. As a TV deal, in makes poor Bill Nye look like a really bad robot.
Old Format:
Hearing someone twist in the wind voicewise is an interesting phone-a-friend thing, in a cruel way. Hearing them nail it is a good thing.
New Format:
Watching a photo of their head while their voice does the drama, either way, is distracting to the point of taking all the juice out of the drama.
Its worse than watching Bill Nye do the Skype Robot.
Time limits:
A good lady went down yesterday who might have lasted if she'd had Time To Think. Maybe not, as the audience was dead wrong & sure of itself. But Maybe After All, if she'd had a 50/50, she could have used it. Or if she'd decided to double dip. You pretty much have to develop a double-dip request reflex, rather than burn up time deciding.
