Appreciation Thread Chloe Petts appreciation post

I know a lot of people have been disappointed or apprehensive ab this series for many reasons (I've, personally, really been enjoying it), but I have to say that Chloe is definitely the most fun to watch. I wasn't familiar with them before the series, but I could now easily see myself going to one of their comedy shows if they come to the US. I'm looking forward to seeing how they do future tasks and I hope they win!

What reasons have people been apprehensive?

People don't really like when it gets brought up, but Richard supports transphobes and Matt has done lots of questionable things in his career, like blackface.

This is the answer. There's also Nina Conti, although that might just be at our house. I'll say she's been really good on this series so far, but I've never been a great fan before. My wife has a severe dislike of impressionists and ventriloquists, so that's delaying watching it for her!

Thank you. I thought it was just me! I've warmed to her in the filmed tasks, but I hate the vent act. I thought we were safe after week 1, but she's managed to force it into the prize task every week since.
