Thank God. I used to skip the episodes she hosted.

As someone that stopped watching after Alex stopped hosting, what's wrong with her being the host? Like what is so bad about it?

Hosting and Acting are two different skill sets, She never got good at keeping the flow of the game going.

Yeah she really didn't have a good flow. Hard to understand unless you actually watched her host. Nobody beats Trebek though. He was a natural.

I watched her plenty and don't get the hate. I agree Ken was better but I thought Mayim had her own vibe, which was fine. The "flow" stuff felt nitpicky. It's not like she wasn't finishing games or anything.

Fair enough
