Season 1's host was great! The new host/judge for season 2 was a bit too full of himself to make me want to listen to him at all. The young couple was great as was the mom and son team. Hated Gene and Samantha and never wanted to hear anything they had to say. Neutral on the dugout folks (but the dugout was super cool...less the very irritating to watch flies...yuk!). Hope Season 3 returns the original host and close to the same format. Also hope for a real but pleasant to look at and listen to cast (season 1 had that...not so much for season 2).
