    Great host... hide show

    When I was a little kid, my favorite show was Figure It Out. It was so much fun trying to guess why the kids were on the show and then seeing a little demonstration. One of the show's best attributes was the host: Summer Sanders. Summer has got to be one of the greatest TV hosts ever! She was charming, funny, and always full of energy. She got along well with the panelists (the 4 people who tried to 'figure it out') and the contestants. Her only downfall was that she was a little touchy-feely. She always hugged the kids or had her hands on their shoulders. It got really annoying at times. Other than that, she was really good. I just wish she could have hosted more shows.

    Stunningly beautiful, that's all! She was a good host of Figure It Out. hide show

    She looks excellent, and looks even better on NBA Inside Stuff. Unfortunately I don't like Inside Stuff as much as I used to. She was great on Beg, Borrow, and Deal, and I only watched the first one, though. Still, she is gorgeous and I would like to meet her some day. Fat chance!
