The original is undoubtedly the best and Australia’s is worse than NZ’s but I still enjoy it. Tom Cashman’s inability to keep a straight face sometimes is a funny “twist” on the assistant and theyvet had some really great contestants (Nina Oyama is an all-timer for me across any country).
There’s also never been a contestant I’ve outright disliked watching which I can’t say about the other countries lol
Nina was the one I felt was trying a bit too hard to be funny at times. If she had chilled just a bit she would have been a lot funnier (personal opinion of course).
Tom C was good, but I really didn’t like Tom G. His “banter” felt more like bullying.
I’ve only seen the first season for Aus, maybe they fell into a better rhythm later?
He’s a bit more relaxed as the seasons go on but I’m mostly with you on Tom G. They have the weakest chemistry of any pair, too, which doesn’t help. They definitely do not spend any time together outside of work
The Australian version felt focus grouped to death. It felt very scripted, and the contestants seemed to be trying super hard to be quirky/funny.
That’s true, I don’t enjoy the Australian one nearly as much as the New Zealand one.
hated the aussie one, so now i’m def gonna look up the nz one!
The NZ one really “gets it”, it’s my favorite alt version
Paul Williams is a delight, too.
