Ok, it's only the first episode, but I simply wasn't that impressed with this new series opener. Maybe it's heresy to say this, but is the format feeling a little tired? The tasks were fine, but ... none were especially memorable. Same with the contestants - I didn't hate any of them, but none are really grabbing me. Four out of the five I knew of, and like well enough, but I have to be honest, aren't exactly wowing me. The fifth, Mae Martin, I had to look up to identify - is she ('they') a comedian? Nothing she said or did was funny, so I thought she must be an actor or musician, but no, apparently, she is in comedy ... must be saving the jokes for later episodes, I guess. Anyway, hopefully the series will get funnier.
