National Bloggo Night

Oy, this isn't going to be good.

* The show seems way too hacked to bits, filled with my least favorite edit of all, the overdub. Can't editors find a way to make audio added in post seem less obvious?
* "Play is still on!" What does that mean? It's not even correct English.
* The reminders to the at-home audience are too frequent. It's bingo. They don't really need to be reminded of the rules.
* Who wants a KMart gift certificate? Was Big Lots unavailable as a sponsor?
* They shouldn't show the ball rolling down, at least later in the Bingo 500 game, since they are color coded and it became pretty obvious that the guy wasn't going to win on the roll. If the contestant is one ball away, add a little more suspense.
* Our host from across the Pond does a decent enough job, but why is he shouting so much?
* The bridge/groom game was just embarassing. At best it was a cheap rip off of Cliff Hangers on TPIR, at worst it was, well, what we all saw.
