She's actually quite intelligent, I think she has a Doctorate in Neuroscience?

She's also a bit of a nut? I dont know much about her real personality.

But that aside, she's an awful host. I dont know what it is, whether she does zero pre-game work into knowing at least what the rules are or what the answers should be or that her knowledge is so specific?

When Ken is hosting he knows the answers, has a rapport with the contestants and keeps the game light and fun and moving along. Bialik is so wooden and what drives me nuts is when a contestant answers a question she pauses......

Pauses.....

"That is....[pause]...Correct/Incorrect."

It just grinds the flow of the game to a halt, and when that is pretty much your only job you should be able to do it.

I cant imagine that this is that difficult, why cant she manage it? Ken makes it look effortless. Hell, you barely notice him. Perfect.
