* SequelDifficultyDrop: In the 2020 revival, the second season’s Super Sweep compared to the first. First off, the risk element is gone. As long as one item is found, the team will win some extra money. The overall time being shortened by 5 seconds (95 seconds total originally, but only 60 seconds were dispensed to the team for the first three items, with time extensions of 20 and 15 for the 4th and 5th, respectively) isn’t that much of a difference, since the team lost about that much opening the envelopes for items 4 and 5 anyway. However…
* SequelDifficultySpike: In the 2020 version, the team still has to set a faster pace than the 1990s version in order to win the top prize (20 seconds per item in the 90s and 2000s, 18 seconds per item in the 2020 version. Yes, technically 19 in the first season, but again, opening the envelopes for items 4 and 5 burned off a couple seconds each time.)

*** In one episode of ''Dale's Supermarket Sweep'', Team 1's shopper skirts down an aisle and throws a slew of items out of the displays. He misses the cart several times and doesn't stop to pick them up. Dale explains that he penalized his team with each one when a stagehand brings them a box full of the discarded items. Their total? £83.
** Contestants who spend way too much time trying to get bonuses, usually the shopping list. On at least two occasions, a team finished with a [[EpicFail single-digit sweep total]] because the shopper placed one shopping list item in the cart and little else.
** Any time a contestant ignores an inflatable bonus, usually {{lampshaded}} by Gilbert or West.
** A [[https://youtu.be/q5M_SSbvMF4?t=1354 1992 episode]] has the Manager's Special, whose rules stipulate that the item must be in the shopper's cart or across the line at the registers before the bell rings. Team 3's shopper finds a red star-marked can with about three seconds to spare, and his cart's right beside him.
*** '''You'd Expect:''' For the shopper to quickly put the can in the cart and claim the bonus.
*** '''Instead:''' He jumps around excitedly with it and doesn't even go to the registers until time expires. After the break, David points this out when the team is not credited with the Manager's Special.

** On [[https://youtu.be/jVjBRwXBP5E?t=1603 one Bonus Sweep]], Ruprecht reads the first clue to the winning team: 'This spicy brown spread tastes great on a dog!' The answer was "Gulden's Mustard." The clock starts but the team doesn't move, acting as if they are expecting something else from Ruprecht. He reads the clue again with a slight tone of 'Why are you still here?' in his voice. They have no clue to the answer and just stand there. After a few seconds, one of the players just decides to head into the store to look around. Her teammate disagrees and suggests that they stay where they are. In a game where the objective is to physically get three items in a time limit! After 10 of their 60 seconds passes, she finally heads into the store while WALKING. As they head through the store, they meander around together instead of racing despite being timed. They guess the clue is related to a sauce and even reach the aisle where the first clue product is at, but then leave, thinking the dog in the clue is about a chili dog and head to the beans aisle where time runs out. Not only did they not win the money, they didn't even get the first product. Even after the round ends and Ruprecht tells them the answer, they look at him completely dumbfounded.

Fans complained that Leslie kept stealing the spotlight and was an overall a poor fit for the host's spot. The Bonus Sweep succumbing to WhoWantsToBeWhoWantsToBeAMillionaire while offering no extra consolation cash didn't help matters. There was also the introduction of vendor bonuses which some people felt was a cheap shot at retailers and ill-timed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Fans who were expecting a theme re-orchestration similar to what was done for the ''Series/PressYourLuck'' revival were disappointed to hear "Push it" by Music/SaltNPepa open the show. David Ruprecht even posted a comment on the show's official Facebook page, calling the revival a "debacle".

* ReplacementScrappy: Leslie Jones received complaints on Facebook for her loud, abrasive behavior. These range from her use of profanity within the first five minutes to her use of sexual innuendo (for example: she needed a cucumber for her "Me Night") to how she yells all the time. Fans eagerly longed for the days of David Ruprecht and praised his professionalism.
** The 2020 revival introduces market specials involving vendors. The contestant has to ask a florist or a barista for an order and must take a time penalty until they are served for a cash bonus. Fans immediately pointed out how unfair it is for contestants to waste precious seconds waiting for a bonus they have no control over. On the first Big Sweep to have one, a contestant had to be stopped from taking the roses she needed so she can wait for the florist to fumble around and pick them up.
