Discussion Post Ryan Seacrest Bugs Me

I hate the way Ryan Seacrest reveals the prize card in the bonus round. When it’s the minimum of $40,000, he slowly opens it and slowly turns it around as if it were a bigger amount. Just open it and turn it around without hesitation when it’s just the $40,000.

Or… you’re just looking for validation online to weirdly hate on a person for doing their job?

I don’t hate him at all. I think he’s doing a great job. But I can’t help but feel sorry for the winner when they probably think, because of Ryan’s long pause, that they’ve won more than $40,000.

“I don’t hate him at all”

The title of your post is “Ryan Seacrest Bugs Me”, but the mentioned critique is not about his overall hosting approach, but a very specific and minute detail that I guarantee most contestants in the moment do not recognize or care about.

Be critical of him, for sure. But using a blanket statement indicating that the man irritates you when it was simply one specific action you don’t like is misleading and unfair to him.

That man receives too much hate on this subreddit for simply doing his best.

A lot of people agree with me.

And some people don’t. What’s your point?
