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!

I have been watching Supermarket Sweep on Youtube and I cannot figure out why Leslie Jones was picked to host Supermarket Sweep in the first place? They should've picked someone better than Leslie Jones to host it like Chris Pratt or Dave Foley could've done a better job than Leslie. The only reason I think she was picked was because like me Leslie Jones watched Supermarket Sweep as a kid and she even auditioned with a friend to be on the original version according to what she says. But David Ruprecht made the original Supermarket Sweep fun to watch and was so cute in his sweaters and David SHOULD make a cameo appearence in an episode in the near future because that would be so much better. As for the announcer they should've gotten Shawn Parr "Announcer for GSN's The Chase" or Joe Cipriano to be announcer because I cannot figure out why Leslie Jones has to do everything on the show and it's like she wants to be the queen of Supermarket Sweep but she has to have help once in a while. When I showed an episode to my mom she was saying "Oh My Gosh" what on earth is this mess?" and she couldn't believe that Leslie Jones hosted Supermarket Sweep. I predict that Season 2 will not exist and Supermarket Sweep will soon be cancelled fast enough
