Sorry, But Leslie Jones has no business hosting this show
The show itself is decent enough. But who in the world thought Leslie Jones as host would be a good idea? I don't like the way she says "Welcome back to Supermarket Sweep" after each commercial break. She must think she's on SNL. Well, SNL this is not. And don't even get me started on all the unnecessary comments she makes when contestants are racing around the store with their carts. She only needs to tell the contestants when to start and stop. Anything between that is highly unnecessary. Apparently, she doesn't feel hosting is enough. She has to do double duty and control the race herself, when a voice over the loudspeaker would have sufficed (and I don't mean Leslie Jones). It's a good thing she doesn't host 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire". God knows how that show would be affected if she had. If she worked at a real grocery store, well, let's just say no one would shop there. To say she'd be losing business is a colossal understatement. Anyone who watches just for Ms. Jones is wasting their time. It's not enough for a host to be funny. The host also has to be realistic, which is obviously not one of Leslie's top priorties. If she were doing a skit (not necessarily SNL), that would be one thing. But to be the host of an actual game show? That's quite another. Whoever hired Leslie Jones obviously didn't put much thought into this, and obviously doesn't care, either. Bring back David Ruprecht, the original host, if you have to. An alternative host would have to be better than Leslie Jones. Anyone who thinks Leslie Jones is a decent host needs to have his/her head examined!
