Warning: They're still in the audition rounds for this reality series, which means if you tune in you'll have to suffer through a bunch of talentless people trying overly hard to be funny. Thankfully, the auditions move at a fairly quick pace, so even the morons who show up to do bad puppeteering or naked stand up don't get all that much screen time. Overall, the pacing of this show seems better this season than I remember in seasons past. Or maybe I just blocked the last few seasons because they were so terrible.
I'd like to say that Craig Robinson is so fantastic in his hosting duties that he makes this show far more entertaining, but that would be a lie. He's not particularly amusing here, and his talents are essentially going to waste as he makes ridiculous banter with the contestants waiting in lines. Nor are the judges anything special. I kind of want to smack Andy Kindler, who might be entertaining, but insists on telling people to dress in bizarre outfits for their return appearances. Let it go. Natasha Leggero, who is the giggly Paula Abdul of the group, is apparently around just to laugh before people even start talking. The only one I like is Greg Giraldo, who seems less interested in suffering fools. He's the Simon Cowell of the bunch.
Regardless, there are some laughs to be had here, in between the awkward crickets and the stupid judge banter, so it is worth checking out ... especially if you appreciate your brain cells too much to watch The Bachelorette.
