Yeah, Ivo's not disappointed for me. Though his dry, self-effacing humour isn't enough to carry a weak series on its own. But he's certainly doing his part to add some understated humour. And his and Frankie's one liners, and Kiell's complaining about the scores, are making the banter in the studio scenes quite good.I think Ivo alone is worth tuning in for.
It's definitely the poor quality of the tasks that's the main problem. And Mae Martin taking it too serious in a pretty much humour-free way a la Sarah Kendall in series 11. There's nothing wrong with contestants wanting to win of course, and that can be fun to watch if the contestant also remember to try to be entertaining. But Sarah and Mae were / are both pretty boring and almost robotic like during tasks.
