Tom should have never been fired. That was the first problem.

Alfonso being a lil too nice - she was a total nightmare week after week. I will never forget the dread I felt watching with her as host lol

I completely agree … I was so mad they fired Tom and Erin that I didn’t give Tyra a fair shot as a host. Everything Alfonso’s saying is true .. she was set up for failure.

This is a really great point. I don’t think Tyra is a natural host - it requires warmth and improv skills she doesn’t possess. But I do feel bad that she came at a time when it was impossible for her to make connections with the people around her.

I think Alfonso was trying to give a classy response. Which he did. But at the same time when she was host the ratings of the show were down and when he and Julianne came on they went back up. She was a terrible host.
