Yeah that's a strange one to me.
To be honest, I watched the first couple of random lists of hers... and then I just forgot about it.
What bothers me is that same, fake, face-cramp-inducing grin she sports every week. I hold no personal grudge against her, I am just not interested in her lists... and that fake grin makes my teeth hurt.
But as long as people like and watch her material - absolutely go for it.
I've become bored with the Feed Dump bunch, their humour makes me cringe. The singing and rhyming duo of snarky doom boils my brain and makes my ears lock up, Moviebob sends me into hysterical frenzy when he goes beyond movies and Yahtzee's stance when it comes to politics annoys and infuriates me, but I still watch their material week after week and wouldn't want to miss it. There's plenty of material that tingles me tastebuds, so everything is A-OK. Contrary to what some people will want to make you believe, we're just not all the same, and that's perfectly fine. It's what makes being human so much fun.

Because she's funny and sweet and allows you to watch a nice quick video that makes you laugh for a bit. That's all it needs to be. If you don't like it, go find something else. I'll stick with Lisa.
Because her top 5 was better than the other one that was on The Escapist.

Seriously, after these were put up people were begging for Lisa Foiles to come back.

i agree. i watched a few episodes before and have no desire to watch more, now that shes back. shes an attractive girl and this site has a lot of teenage boys on it. thats about it. still, even though i dont enjoy her show and would rather have more interesting content, im not being forced to watch it and her existence on this site is not harming me in any way. i just consider her show to be dumb but harmless and just because i dont like it, theres no reason i should try to stand in the way of other people who do like it.
I like it.
It doesn't score the laugh-out-loud funny as often as LRR, but it makes me chuckle a few times more often than not. The old version took a while to get up to speed and got better over time; I'm willing to give a chance that the post-hiatus version will as well.
It's also pretty much one person's work, and a lot of effort and personality go into it. It's not at all easy to put out a show week after week, and I genuinely think Lisa Foiles does a good job.
And because it's apparently a thing that needs to be explained... I am neither an insecure teenager wishing I could have relations with the hostess nor someone who needs to stroke my own ego by exhibiting a condescending attitude towards those who I believe want to have relations with the hostess.
Yes. She's pretty. And that's okay. Moooove along.

Because some people enjoy the show, clearly. I am definitely not one of those people but the shows existence doesn't offend me in any way.

I liked the little intro sketch she did on the first comeback episode, if she did more of that sort of thing I might watch it, but the actual show, nope.

Lisa Foiles is a genuinely delightful person. If you'll allow me, I shall now explain how she is much more watchable than the Escapist's other female video host, Ashley Esqueda.
Few people on the internet have such personality and charm as our Top Five gal pal, and that's why we love her.
Now, this has nothing to do with their level of hotness. That doesn't matter and never will. But it is my opinion that Lisa is much more lively than Ashley. The former puts so much energy into her performance and exudes joy and excitement, whereas the latter just smiles as she reads from the script she memorised. I'm sure Ashley is a genuine girl gamer, but when I watch her vids all I can think of is plastic.
I was discussing this before, and came to the conclusion that it was because she's funny, silly and sweet, which on a site mainly composed of the rather sarcastic and cynical, is somewhat unique. That and Top 5 lists, while not the most unique thing in all the world, do allow for debates to be had about what people would have instead of X number, and how they agreed with Y number.
The fact that she is pretty to look at isn't a bad thing either, although admittedly, it does make the comments rather weird sometimes.

Two reasons.
1. Her left boobie.
2. Her right boobie.
And her making these type of videos creates this sort of "girl down next door" effect, and people start having E crushes.
EDIT: I also find it funny that people are so openly supportive of her despite raging against objectification in videogames. Is it ok because its her own choice, while videogame characters can't choose by themselves?

I'm kind of a mix of 1 and 2. I like most things on the escapist, I genuinely enjoy the show as I do think it's quite funny at times, I love hearing Anamanaguchi in the background, and she has quite a pleasant voice, so I can listen to her in the background if I'm playing a game and not really that into it.Dirty Hipsters said:
It's just a silly little show that's an enjoyable way to spend a couple of spare minutes. Nothing to do... Listen to an attractive girl talk about things I like in an amusing manner, you say? Why not!
She's funny and charming.
That's all anyone really needs to be to keep my attention, regardless of the bits between their legs.

Pretty much everyone defending her has commented on her appearance. Funny how people defending Jim Sterling or the no right answer guys don't mention their attractiveness. I am not at all surprised. All the talk of sexism in games on this site doesn't seem to mean much.
There's a reason why everyone and their dog does Top X videos, and that's because they're popular. Just because something isn't original doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable. The OP may not find Lisa Foiles' Top 5 enjoyable, but that doesn't mean that no one does.
I'll be honest, I don't find her to be that good either. After hearing in the previous Top 5 threads about how much better and awesome she was... well I was expecting something more than what I got.
IMO she comes off as a little forced in her enthusiasm.
But there it is, opinions be.

I enjoy the show because she genuinely seems to be enjoying herself, and sometimes, in a shitty world, it is fun to watch someone having fun. I mean, look at the big three here, Yahtzee, Bob and Jim, they are fun, sometimes insightful, sometimes not, but they tend to be miseryguts, angry, comically hateful or all three. This site benefits from the few contributes who go, this is something I find fun, you should have fun too. Same thing with the blokes from no right answer.
I like it because it's lighthearted and bubbly, and designed to put a grin on your face as you watch it. Seeing as the Internet is full of "angry this" or "rage about that", as well as cynical detachment and/or practical disinterest in the topic at hand, it's a nice change of pace to see someone full of positive energy just trying to be goofy and down to earth. Plus there's that weirdness from the Nickelodeon flashbacks I get from my childhood as I watch it.
Hey guys Its not mine or any of my friends so I am not saying this for advertisement I legitimately like this channel: "All Time 10s" It is a great channel which features interesting well researched topics and answers so if you want an example of a channel which does it well then check that out!
