What do everybody think about dec being a solo presenter.
In the first show Dec's emotion and nerves showed more, but I imagine that was a lot of wondering what sort of reception he would get and knowing he was doing double the work. The show producers clearly did a lot of work alongside the presenters to make sure most of Ant's duties were covered in advance, with the exception of "Saturday Knight" which they decided needed to be completed.
He relaxed once he saw the audience and got the sense that reception was fairly positive however. He certainly seemed less worried or concerned during this live show.
The final live show was much better than last year, but Universal generally has more live shows and actors over Disney who have a more limited pool. Rain was likely more a blessing than a curse as it usually cools the air for a bit. So we didn't have Dec or co looking like they are half-ready to pass out.
It's interesting that Dec didn't even try to reference Ant like he did last show mind. Even after Saturday Knight he quickly moved on from it. Also seemed a shame to have the Rembandits and not make a "Chums" reference. But I guess it's been so long ago that few people would get it, bah.
