I wasn't a big fan of the first episode, but thought I'd wait to see if it got much better (not yet!). The main issue is they're all too agreeable. There hasn't been many arguments over points between the contestants. It is meant to be a competition, after all.

Joel as a superfan is fine, but there needs to be a contrast to all that positive energy. Armando is good, Amy is grinding, Joanna is average. Kumail should be deported.
 
The Jeet is finally coming out of his shell. Enjoyed this ep. I wonder if he had help with his excitement task cause that was very surprising. Didn't know he had it in him.
 
Kumali had a some good moments in this episode. It’s a cheap joke but setting Greg up to be against “racial harmony” made me laugh.
 
The episodes are getting better and better. Took them 5 eps to get comfortable.

According to sonarr, the au season started too... I enjoy the lesser Tom's comedy and personality more.
 
This season is certainly fine, not great but nothing too bad either. I think this cast is missing the "prickly pear" archetype (Ed Gamble, Reece Shearsmith, etc) that can add some flavor to the dynamic. I feel like Kumali could be that but he is painfully aware that any such outbursts can be twisted against him back in LA.
