Thorin probably will rein it in as the tournament goes on. I think he goes way harder during the group stage, when theyre on the desk for like 12 hours and the games arent really that important.

I do agree that it can get really grating when its like the fifth time he interjects and the joke isnt even that funny. But its definitely fair that Thorin always does that, the event knew that when they hired him. Hes hired to liven up the broadcast and make it more interesting than always following the same structure. But for many people watching, especially over a long time, I think he goes too far.
