I like Ghost Hunters–at least some of the time. GHA however, is truly sad. I think most people watch Ghost Hunters to see the evidence and those episodes on GH when there are “personality” problems are the least interesting of all of them. So now they’ve made a entire show out of personality problems, leaving paranormal research as a secondary concern. Not interesting–not good television either. Do I care if the kid with his hat on sideways makes it to the next episode? Nope I don’t, Sorry.

Secondly, I don’t think that Tango or Steve could find their way out of a paper sack, and to see them playing the heavies (well, sort of– Tango just stands there and makes faces) is like putting Gomer in charge of the platoon.

I see that they eliminated the “psychic” from the show. What a surprise. If they are supposedly training more teams for GH why are they even entertaining the notion of psychics? Steve made all sorts of faces when the young woman who claims to be a psychic refused to participate in the backgrounding portion of the investigation, but if anyone ought to know how a psychic approaches such investigations it should be him. He didn’t. So who’s the dummy?

When I see how contrived, shallow and fake GHA is–well, in my opinion it reflects poorly on the original show. I’ll go further. If GH is supposedly so scientifically pitched, why on earth don’t they pursue that to the max? These locations should be staked out and teched out for days not hours; every room should be covered from many angles–longterm. Finally, and getting right down on it–why are plumbers and children doing this? Plumbers aren’t scientists. All they have to know is that crap flows downhill.

All I want to see is scientific proof of the paranormal–that’s it. I don’t care if Brian calls his girlfriend–and finally–I’m really tired of Jason’s unbelievably bad grammar.

I enjoyed the series.and these cadets will have to drop the “know it all yuppie attitude” I get the impression that thes kids look down & feel superior arrogance! They are here to learn.not to show off. Imput is important.not changing the rules to suite them.Tango &steve stress teamwork & cooperation. Get with the program kids growup! TAPs has been doing this a long time.

It seems like hating on Ghost Hunters is some kind of new trend for internet trolls now? I will never understand why people can’t just ignore what’s outside of their taste. :/

Anyway…

Steve and Tango are both amazing and I love the show so far! Keep it up, guys!!!

Tango sucks! Steve is the only one doing all the talking to the contestants. I think Tango needs to take a step down and compete with the rest of the contestants.

Love it.. I watch all of the Ghosthunters shows on syfy. It is nice to have regular people to learn how to do what the GhostHunters. I hope of one these days I can be in The Ghost Hunter Academy.

Or there are 2 million legitimate fans of Ghost Hunters. Now if you want to see idiots, go look at all the viewers of NCIS, now those people are idiots.

Johnthemon – AWESOME idea! I’d watch the show religiously if it was given the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 treatment with live mocking!

well I guess that means there are at least 2 million idiots in America, or people watching the show just to make fun of it.
