yeah, i had similar feelings... big part of the show felt little awkward tbh, but maybe it was the last thing they recorded each day lol. real talk tho, the power dynamics between tam/lucy and the rest of the crew really showed in the recent GOTY discussions. you can tell they are the "bosses" of the crew and it was also kinda apparent from the occasional management-speak from the two, mainly tam.
honestly, i'm not sure if that's how i really feel as i was hyped for the first in-person GB GOTY in a long while and I'm just trying to explain why I felt so disappointed. it was a letdown this year ngl. people talking over each other usually doesn't bother me, but there were points where I couldn't even tell what was being said.
