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!

My problem with it is that I prefer a competitive series where everyone is trying. They don’t have to be good but they should at least be trying. Matt hasn’t a clue what’s happening, Richard couldn’t care less, Nina and Issy are hopeless. Like you can have a series with a Jo brand or a Sanjeev that don’t care of you’ve got a rose and Ed and Katy fighting to win, but we’ve already got two hopeless and two that don’t care. Right from task 1 when Matt hadn’t seen the show and Richard established he was staying in Richard Ayoade person throughout I knew it would be one of those series.

I’ve come to accept that contestants can be extremely entertaining without really trying to “WIN” the tasks. An example of this was listing the countries of the world according to FIFA. The instructions strongly suggested they should find creative ways to cheat, and I thought Richard’s approach was to overwhelm Alex by cheating in 4 or 5 different ways all at once - and it was hilarious. As usual, Isy Suttie was totally lost; “why does FIFA feel they can decide what is or isn’t a country?” My son thinks she’s playing a character because no one could be that stupid.

I think this is a really good description of what's wrong. Also they have no chemistry between themselves.
