I have watched all the shows because the gatekeepers have been interesting and have carried the episodes. The host seems like an over indulged rich kid that is bored with everything. There is no spark, no enthusiasm. I think the gatekeeper idea is very good but please have some enthusiasm and be genuinely interested in the people hosting you. These are just my 2 cents. I want this to be constructive criticism. Waiting for the next episode.

Justin Lizama Good! First: This means you read my comment. I gave my opinion for free and you should try to learn from it. Companies usually pay for surveys. Second: I am Bulgarian 🇧🇬 Third: Your comment is not grammatically correct Forth: If it was true that I was a bot - what would it say about you that even a bot is finding you boring As I said in my previous comment. I want to give constructive criticism. You can try to use some of your jokes in your show and not only in the KZbin comment section. If you are ever in Sofia Bulgaria I can be a gatekeeper. We have plenty of douchey hipster mustache places 🙂
