Gadget Show to loose Suzi, Jon & Ortis

[Viper_Larry]

I see Suzi has tweeted the 3 of them are going. Press release from 5 states a revamped format with Jason and Polly only on world tour.

I'd miss Suzi and Jon if I still watched the show but it has really gone downhill recently.

- 1x 'o'

[LordGrover]

Never liked them or the show really, which is a shame because I'm a gadget person.
Hopefully it'll be better post revamp.

Loose Suzi?

Yep, dirty little slapper.

[Viper_Larry]

I *hate* spelling mistakes, but it was late, I was tired and couldn't decide 1 o or 2! Dammit...

[DiseasalDriver]

I just wanted to feel like one of the gang

[XG332]

Meh

[JonnyFive]

Can we keep Suzi and Polly and just have plenty of Bikini action?

[Skii]

Can't abide Polly personally - despite the looks.

Would be a shame if they go.

Same as me then, I'm a complete gadget nutter but I don't like the show.... I can't work out why either, it just annoys me.

I much preferred the way Jason and Suzi worked when it was just them, but I suppose Suzi doesn't appeal to the younger nerds now whereas Polly does.

She's suitable eye candy replacement though, so i'll still watch it. Won't be sad to see Ortis gone, not a fan of his, and John Bentley is just a bit uncomfortable to watch IMO.

He'll still be behind the scenes though.

[y2blade]

Oh well...it will still be a good show

It strode an odd middle ground alot of the time - if you are a geek and already check out sites like gizmodo, engadget etc then the show would normally just be filled with old news, it also sometimes felt like the script and knowledge had been written by your gran and not someone that actually knew anything about the tech.

On the other hand they did have some interesting set pieces that were entertaining like the full immersive fps set up that 'they' built.

Could do with some more long term tests etc on stuff - like Evo writers cars segment, let us know what the shiny gadget is like to live with over a longer period. Hopefully it gets back on it's feet and decides who it's target market is.

Is it the plastic tits or the fact she comes across as not knowing or having a genuine interest in what she's taking about unlike the rest?

It's funny, I like my gadgets and yet the show never seems to feature any that I'm interested in.

Indeed, she's been chosen for looks and an ability to copy Suzi Perry's mannerisms. Not much between the ears I think.

I think you have it there. There's quite a bit of dumbing down to make it appeal to the masses - not that I'm saying that's wrong but they could do with going a bit more in-depth with reviews and news.

Pretty much, devoid of any warmth or personality and with an irritating loud presenting style.
