YES!

I especially liked how in the very first interview she started off with "I'm here with... uh... I don't even know your team number" and she grabbed the interviewee's name badge to check.

And asking 1114 how they were doing immediately after they had been eliminated, seemed insensitive... except everyone already had a sense that she had not been versed at all in the game. The freshman student sitting beside me picked up on this right away and couldn't take her seriously after that.

I liked that they brought in Team 1448 to present the FRC Rhapsody, too bad it was so obvious they were lip syncing to the video. Would have been fun (though difficult, I know) if they could have performed it live.
