I totally agree... it has gotten so predictable that is no longer as fun to watch. I think the last season that I really enjoyed was Janelle-Howie-Kayser (I think season 5). I hate the type-casting, the guests knowing which comp comes next, and the guests having their acting resumes with them. Please, please, please let there be some major changes in the format this year. No Pandora's box, no fixed comps to bring someone back and no Jesse.
