When he joined the show there were a lot of negative comments about him before he'd even had time to settle in and I felt for him!
Jenny seems really nice too; all the chasers (barring perhaps Mark!) have their bad days at the office, but I find that makes for more interesting viewing; it'd be boring if they performed like Robots, imo.”
And these are reasons why I always back Shaun too, who gets an unfairly rough time on this forum as well. Nearly every time he even plays there's someone slagging him off, and honestly - he's bloody good, and especially of late, has put in a lot of great performances, and doesn't deserve the sometimes downright nasty comments that he gets on here.
As for Jenny - I do feel that she is very hit and miss. But I would never say she's a bad quizzer. She's obviously very good, but just not on the same par as the other four Chasers. But she may well improve with time and experience. We just need the all-encompassing Jenny of the last few wins to be a more consistent thing.
