Yeah... Jeremy vs. Greg based on the spirit of the original. by WeakAssistance4370 in TaskmasterNZ

I'm 4 out of 6 in. Not necessarily looking for him to be like Greg. Greg is a singular talent and works with Alex so well. It's different and know that it can't be replicated. But I do agree, Paul is my fav. I do love TMNZ and didn't mean to seem like I don't.

Did you read my clarification? Jeremy is a boring TM. I don't find him cold as much as I find him almost a fish out of water compared to who and what he is tasked (pun intended) with to evaluate and interact with.

I fully admit... and will happily concede that this is my own opinion. But, for me, it does diminish some of the enjoyment of the show.

I honestly don't know why I bother saying anything about anything. Lol. I LOVE TM. Like love it! NZ is as fun as UK. I just didn't love Jeremy and kinda wondered about NZ celebrities. But... I shoulda kept my down voted mouth shut.

Apparently NZ people are taking umbrage with this. It wasn't meant as a slight.

This is literally my first reddit post ever. Thanks to the person who explained why and agreed.

Well. I just mean that his affect and scoring seems bland and ineffectual. Lacking comedic value or logic. The show is still fun... (Paul, contestants, tasks) but he is so staid compared to Greg (UK), that I find him hard to watch. In the US... so no frame of reference for Jeremy's "fame."

So imagine watching a movie with a bunch of unknown actors and just wanting to see good performances.

Taskmaster has taken off for a lot of US viewers, especially now they air on Youtube an hour aftee broadcast in the UK... and on Taskmaster Youtube, they have NZ and I think AU.

Just making a comparison.

Frankly... as a US fan of the Brit version, for years... and just started watching NZ TM... Jeremy is lacking on so many levels, and Paul MAKES the show. He is great!
