  1. With all the hoopla about Kirstin Gum's lack of gravitas, has anyone noticed there now appears to be
    a bit of discord growing on the OLN broadcast between the principals? I have noticed that Kirsten
    seems to be negatively reacting to Bob Roll's witty, off-color comments; yet, it's precisely those
    comments that give a unique perspective to the OLN broadcast; not the usual , illiterate rot we see
    at other sports networks. The National Enquirer does not indulge in critical reviews of short
    stories in the New Yorker. Why then must Kirsten make her hayseed critical assessments of Roll's
    welcomed witticisms?

    I also noticed this dynamic tension has spilled over to Sherwen and Liggett, as well - obviously,
    Phil is very happy with his born-again, svelte, athletic physique - but now, he finds every
    opportunity to remind Sherwen that he crawled up the mountains when he raced... or that he has
    gained too much weight and girth since retiring, or uses the wrong word in the broadcast, etc.

    My though is that Kirsten is causing bad karma on the set. Has anyone else noticed this growing
    tension, too? Something is rotten in Paris.

    I think it's because they all want to be the first to see what's doin' under those prison clothes
    she wears.

    Heh, heh, heh.

    Do you have an example? I don't pay much attention to her.

    makes the the presentation of the tof work well. hopefully OLN will get back on track. . . . . soon

  8. She was a well known home wrecker in Charlotte, and now she turning everyone against each other on
    the OLN set. It's sad to watch.

    Pathetic. Homophobia is running rampart. Let's have some juicy details about the males...

    Who is she breaking up:

    Bobke and Phil?

    or

    Bobke and Paul?

    or

    Bobke and Frankie?

    In defense of Kirsten, it would have been difficult for anyone to not react to Bob's detailing
    yesterday the amount of pus contained in some rider's saddle sore. But Bob is still the best part
    of the show.

    Yeah, but she asked him for the truth, so he gave it to her. I think Bob is hilarious. Every answer
    yesterday was off the wall.

    People were asking questions because they have no idea. It is fine to have him crack some jokes but
    he spent mroe time on the jokes than he did on the actual answers. In addition, just because she
    asked him for the "real" answer does not mean he has to get so graphic. There are an infinite number
    of ways to present that kind of information. He is trying too hard to be funny.
