How annoying are the NBC Olympics commentators?

Question

Especially the ones for gymnastics...

Answer 1

Extremely annoying, especially the one for women gymnastics.  I really want to know her name so that I can complain about her.  She is the most bias and unprofessional commentator of all times!!!  Can someone tell me her name??

Answer 2

Very.  The gymastics ones make me want to throw my TV through the wall--that guy with the squeaky voice is totally unnecessary.

Answer 3

Very annoying. They are so biased and cannot accept the fact that they have lost ground on some events.

Very annoying.

Answer 4

I agree with you.  They know nothing but keep blah blah the nonsense.

Answer 5

Extremely annoying. Just a bunch of whiners. They keep repeating the same phrases over and over.

Answer 6

about-to-wring-their-necks annoying

Answer 7

They aren't.

They just run out of things to talk about.

Answer 8

I like Bella -- he's crazy. And Costas is a real pro.  

Answer 9

Tim Dagget, Elfie Schlegel & Al Trautwig -- the Dream Team of NBC gymnastics announcers???

lol - These guys are so biased.  Al and Elfie especially like to instigate the poor judging controversy.  Elfie - she says nothing of value since Tim is more knowledgeable about identfying the mistakes in the routine.  All three are incredibly biased.

Answer 10

the one that annoys me the most is cynthia potter[s?].  i heard her comments on synchronized and single diving [for 3 darn days in a row], and i swear, even the BEST dives she goes, "hm, look at that, i don't think they will get more than 8's."  i think she should shut up and let the judges decide!

Answer 11

EXTREMELY

Answer 12

Answer 13

So annoying that I am tempted to never watch women's gymnastics again. I would like to watch more than 10 minutes of uninterrupted gynmastics without repetitive comments about who was cheated, robbed, underaged, and misjudged. Maybe if they covered more countries than just USA v. China, we would get to see not only world class gymnastics but also get some peace and quiet.

Update: Btw, I am not underaged (last time I checked :) ) and I didn't cheat anyone out of a gold (I have to tweak my cartwheel still). I am not trying to comment on the status of gymnastics controversy, I just want to see more awesome routines.

Answer 14

It's OK that she came in 2nd.

Not the end of the world.  The dude needs to get over it................

Answer 15

They are so annoying!  They make the most ridiculous comments!  Gymnastics especially, but I was watching synchronized diving the other day, and the commentators just went on and on about how it didn't look "pretty."  I completely disagreed though.  It all looked gorgeous to me.

Answer 16

They are so bias. Like if it is

US Gymnast:   "a little bit off balance there"

Chinese gymnast:    "a possible BIG POINT DEDUCTION"

US Gymnast   "almost"

Chinese gymnast     "woooh...woooh....visible error"

Answer 17

I find them really annoying if I am watching the Olympics I just want to do that not listen to someone talk trough it.

Answer 18

very annoying to a point that they make me turn the TV on mute.

Answer 19

Oh my gosh, they are so annoying and they are the ones that spark all the bickering and fighting because they make stupid comments!

Ugh...I just want them to shutup and let me watch the games in peace.

Answer 20

They are not annoying.  You are only annoyed because you are underage! And you cheated us out of the gold!  If anything, we need to make NBC commentators the official judges of the Olympics.  Then everything will be fair.
