To think Anne Robinson is acting like her Weakest Link persona when presenting Countdown?

And to have gone off it?

I remember reading somewhere before where she was quoted saying that she’ll be nothing like the host she was on The Weakest Link, but this is the third episode I’ve seen from her and she IS acting like her persona on TWL. Not AS rude but she’s constantly belittling the contestants, interrupting them, bickering with them, jostling them to do impressions and make fools of themselves like the contestants on TWL even though they are clearly uncomfortable and it’s clearly not that type of show or contestants. Does anyone else agree or do you prefer/like her as the host?

I've actually come up with the perfect presenter for this ...

Angela Rippon! She's warm, quick witted, intelligent.

I think Vanessa Feltz could be good. She's very warm and chatty

Yes I can see Vanessa being a good fit
