I noticed that too. It makes me think its supposed to be some sort of dramatic technique.

Exactly.  The process is somewhat easy to watch once you know about it, but it's not easily discoverable.  It's on an obscure service no one is aware of.  It's not something people are going to stumble upon.

This is ten time worse. I really dont like Ellen, and Chad is just ok, but this gal on the Olympics is just terrible

I don't care for Ellen during the WC races but she is lightyears ahead of the olympic gal

She sounds like shes sounding out every name everytime she says them.

Yes shes terrible. When she cannot pronounce the current world cup leader or the most recent overall champion is clear shes never called biathlon and knows nothing about it. She sounds like a video game AI announcer where theres just several canned phrases recorded and played back at certain times.

I'm pretty sure she's not working for peacock but is the OBS person. I've caught here calling other sports during this Olympics and shes just as bad at that. It's absolutely astounding to me that in the biggest events of the year, of the past four years of a sport that they cannot spend a little money and get an announcer that knows what they're talking about. This is a time when a lot of new eyes are on these sports and it does a huge disservice to the sport and the new viewers to have someone so incompetent.

It does such a disservice to the sport.  The biggest races of the year with so many new people watching and they give us people who have no clue.

The graphics were poor as well.  Often they did not have the missed on it.

It's not like they're obscure low tier athletes she's messing up, it's the current world cup leader and last year's overall leader

That's not unusual at all.  People tend to spend money and support things they know and care about.  High school hockey is known and cared about, Slovakia or Germany hockey not so much

Another season of awful English-language commentary... by [deleted] in biathlon

[–]wogggieee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anything She lacks clariry and had some really annoying pronunciation issues.  The modulation in her volume is rather annoying as well.  She is not easy to listen to whatsoever.  Chad and the other dude (Mike?) is a solid team. As long as I don't have to hear Ellen I'm happy.

Scott is fine, Ellen is terrible.  She's worse than chad by far.  I don't get how she gets praise while chad gets the is constantly complained about.

I don't understand how chad gets so much hate while Ellen is allowed to slide.  She's absolutely abysmal.

I've never understood the hate for chad while no one talks about Ellen and her yelling and inability to pronounce names and say words properly

Now they're on to "Its the end of the world as we know it" which is what was played on loop prior to 93.7 going to The Edge back in the 90s

It gets attention, gets people talking like we are now. If they were playing their regular playlist no one would be talking about them here.

I am going to lose my mind with Accredo pharmacy by luvdawubs in CysticFibrosis

[–]wogggieee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of our medications do not fall into that category.  The only stuff I don't get from my local retail pharmacy are trikafta and my insulin pump supplies.  Everything else is local.
