They're very entertaining and of course, Johnny's outfits makes good cable TV!
I have been watching the BBC which is available on-line. Robin Cousins is knowledgeable and insightful without the incessant and unnecessary chatter. My husband remarked that he knows the value of silence.
I've been watching NBC live extra and have two British sounding commentators. The guy is a big fan of Joubert. They're really good and not at all annoying- anyone know who they might be? Also, where are people getting Tara and Johnny as commentators? I'd like to tune in sometime...
I wasn't expecting to like this commentating group, but I do.
At least I like them better than Scott Hamilton.
Overall, it's fine - but, I much, much prefer two people teams than three. I would prefer Gannon-Weir, or Gannon-Weir for two events and then Gannon-Lipinski for two. I think Weir is better than Tara at calling elements and explaining things, but when there is the third person, it gets too chatty too fast. But, overall, I enjoy this.
They're better than Scott and Co. but not as good as the BBC or Eurosport though...I like the generally positive and unbiased commentating from the British more. Even when someone does badly they find something nice to point out while politely talking about their short comings. And you'd never know if they have a bias (which I'm sure they do) because they don't let it be known. American and Canadian commentators unfortunately do this.
I have enjoyed the entertainment though that Johnny's outfits have brought to the table. Poor Tara has tried to match his fierceness but can't.
I like them overall, but they seem to be remiss in pointing out errors and/or deviations from planned elements.
