Boring and anti climactic, maybe. Repetitive? Yes.

I watched pretty much every match at NJ (kinda in my job description)

The qualifiers were hard to get through because it was the same thing over and over again, and the scores never got that high. The elims were a different beast altogether due to the fact that teams were amped up because they knew what was on the line, and the alliances were able to work as a team.

And I agree with the penalties, while there may be a lot this first week, I'm pretty sure that they'll start going down as the weeks progress.
