Recently, many commentators have become incompetant.
Peggy Flemming
She has always been bad, especially with her obvious bias. I hate how she will point out the cheats in many skaters jumps, but never does so in Sarah's and will always try to avoid mentioning it. At Campbell's, when the showed the replay of Sarah's flip, she said "she could complete the ro.... jump." Recently at Crest, they showed a replay of Sarah's loop, and she blamed Sarah stiff and hard landing on her "leg being wrapped" when in fact it was because she cheated it by 1/4. Peggy is either lying or is incompetant. Either way, she is bad bad bad.
Dick Button
He is overall good. He has his bad moments, but he tends to be truthful. He tends to gush himself over Sasha and Michelle too much, but he is competant. I don't like it when he stumbles on his words, though.
Peter C.
He is also good, but he tends to talk to much. That's the only griped I have with him.
Susie Wynne
The one shining light amongst all those at ABC. She is always truthful with her comments, and is competant. She was right to say that the Lithuanians were undermarked at Worlds. I think they should have won the Free Dance. They were amazing. They gave the best Free Dance in recent years.
Scott Hamilton
He is probably the worst skating announcer working today. He is the most incompetant person in history. If you don't agree, just listen to his commentary during Alexei Yagudin's LP at the Olympics. I wanted to throw a car at him during that. He also showed his incompetance during the Pairs and Ladies Free Skate. I believe that B&S had a claim to the gold. Their program was much more difficult than the simple program of S&P and they skated closer togehter. During the Ladies Long, he made excuses for Irina's obscenely high tech scores. He said "she had huge and gorgeous jumps." I'm glad Sandra said "but they weren't clean Scott." Sarah deserved all 1st place ordinals, where was his questioning there? He is the worst commenator in history and is now an overated skater as well.
Sandra B
She may be annoying, but overall, she is tolerable.
Roz S.
She is probably the worst next to Scott H. I think it is obvious that she is jealous that Michelle is so popular and that she has been forgotten. Roz always goes out of her way to trash michelle somehow. Just look at her comments at the Canadian Open. She said Michelle has been "wishy-washy" Who Hasn't this season!!!! It's obvious that she can't read, otherwise she would now that Michelle's SP at SA was amazing and had a polish of a whole season, even though it was only 2 weeks old. Also, she probably can't affor Cable Television, otherwise, she would have known that Sasha hasn't skated her program cleanly all season like she said. She is simply incompetant. I hate how she singles out Michelle and always tends to make negative comments towards her and to no one else. It's obvious now why she commentates for TNT.
Everyone else, I have no gripes with.
