I've been watching the show while working from home, marathon experience basically, which gives me a real sense of what works on the show and what doesn't.
I think the main problem with the show is two-fold...
The techniques feel lacking creativity and thought, really undeveloped techniques, very formulaic... one thing I do like about Ghost Adventures is that they get very creative in their techniques, they are always trying new things, sometimes very silly things, but they do bring a lot of uniqueness and creativity to their show, and I find this missing from GH and GHI in a big way.
One way GH and GHI does shine is in likable people.
I thought the best thing about GHI would be the locations, ancient castles and locations with thousands of years of history makes for some really great back story, history, and atmosphere...
But I fond the episodes wanting, they were okay as background while working, but I couldn't imagine actually looking forward to watching the show, nothing really stood out for me.
My favorite episode was in season 2, "Hell's Gate"... I thought that back story was so good they could have turned it into a feature length horror film.
In fact I bet a bunch of these could be made into horror films, just need to be fleshed out more.
Anyway, my rating: 5/10
