We also would have accepted "airheads who claim to be Bob's #1 fan, but don't even know how to play Switch?". Or "Samoans".
Seriously, though, TV shows seemed to have gone through a "loud" phase in the 2000s. Loud hosts (Newton, Karn, Osmond, et al.), loud sets, loud music, etc. I'm glad to see a bit more mellowness again.

Do you think my rule would have a beneficial effect on the PACING of the show, which seems to be the chief complaint here?[/quote]
I think that TPIR's pacing won't be fully fixed until the day that greedy advertisers realize that 45 minutes of commercials in an hour long show is way too [bad word] much. So in other words, probably never, but that's little to no fault of anyone at Fremantle Media.
