This has been very disappointing. The quick selection process is consistently anticlimactic, showing only recycled talents offering more of the same with no weirdness from other aspiring performers in between to lighten the mood, even further crippled by an all-or-nothing selection process with no room for consideration of "promising" talents to show improvement for the next round. Overall, this new series just feels very empty, like it was intended to be a private reunion for the judges and their projects.
And I have to ask... Why are there judges there this time around if their only effect is to subjectively affect the voting process of the "superfans"? Also, who *are* these "superfans", and how do any of us know their opinions are meaningful or that such a voting system is even trustworthy? The result doesn't feel at all meaningful after all that.
