This is going to be my only post about these three because its the same as last week, they are just awful.
Barnett would be ok on pbp, but with the other two, all they talk about is themselves. I now know several of Kelli Tennant's food allergies, that neither woman will go off the jump thing this week, how Cam studies the game, what they are planning on eating later, that Kelli loves peppering etc. but I haven't heard a word about Piotr's background, that his wife also plays, how he and Ty came to play together and it wasn't mentioned that Chase has never won a pro match - or at least I didn't hear if it was. At least 10 times there was some example discussed about how zany Barnett was, etc. but very little about the players and the match.
Also they are constantly speaking from ignorance. For example they did a ton on how going on two is a new thing teams are introducing and that no one knows how to defend. Had they been watching BVB for more than 5 minutes they might remember Holly/EY playing on 2 much more than any current team, including Summer/Brooke, Karch/Lambert and tons of other examples.
Having to listen to the three of them, but particularly Kelli and Cam makes watching less pleasant and in almost two hours of it, I haven't learned a single thing about any player that I didn't know.

Or maybe not, they are just so awful
They just talked about Sheila Shaw and how this was the first time she has come through the qualifier. "She was so excited to be out there and to get a chance to play in the main draw"
Then they talked about how young players like her just want to play teams like April/Alix to learn about their games and see how good they are.
They seemed to think this was Sheila's first main draw, rather than the first time she has had to play a qualifier.

It's like watching really small market news, I'm in disbelief they didn't let someone go after Austin was so poor.

Very solid producer decision to interview losing team versus show a match tied at 12s in the third set, thumbs up again guys.

15-14 third set, they go to the studio to discuss nothing, unforgivably bad.

I mean there is literally no defense for how bad that is, how disrespectful it is to fans of the sport, to have no clue what you're doing. Lost so much respect for Sun not listening to fans and giving us cameras to watch all courts or at least a crew who can figure out how to cover the sport they cover.

Okay, I'm watching Kelly and the other woman doing a studio interview and they're fine at that gig. They just aren't suited to doing either play-by-play or color for the matches. Not a sexist comment as there are many women out there with the knowledge and experience to do color for beach volleyball.
Keep them in the studio and get Barnett some knowledgeable color partners and they could right this ship.

I think there is a lot that they can learn but not everything that people are complaining about is on the trio of announcers. While the announcers have their own faults, it's the producers that decide what is being shown to the viewers. The lack of letting the viewer chose what they want to watch means they need to do a great job of monitoring the courts and showing what's most important at that time and they simply aren't doing that.

Wow they just said let's learn more about Brittany Hochevar and they ran a piece on Brittany Howard who isn't even playing right now. Again, that's not on the announcers but it's terrible and really takes away from their broadcast.

So go from one women’s match of tap downs to another just to tease us with Rosie playing in the background. Need to start mixing in more men as the women’s game is sleepy
