True... but you do get used to being talked to as if you were 10 years old, but she just takes it to an all new level. It's like shes talking to a toddler.

mantis, she currently hosts Today Tonight (not that I regularly watch that pathetic excuse of a current affairs show) and Australia's Brainiest Kid. She kind of just popped out of nowhere.

Never heard of them????
 
Any Kind Of Pain - Frank Zappa

Broadway The Hard Way, ladies and gentlemen!
Broadway The Hard Way!

You are the girl
Somebody invented
In a grim little office
On Madison Ave.

They were specific
They made you terrific:
Red lips;
Blue eyes;
Blonde hair;
Un-wise --
You're All-American,
And, darling, they said so

YOU'D TAKE ANY KIND OF PAIN FROM ME,
WOULDN'T YOU, BABY?
YOU'D TAKE ANY KIND OF PAIN FROM ME,
WOULDN'T YOU, BABY?
SINCE YOU HAVEN'T GOT A BRAIN,
LET ME JUST EXPLAIN:
ANY KIND OF PAIN
IS NEVER A MAYBE

What?

Her head's full of bubbles;
Her nose is petite!
She looks like she never
Gets nothin' to eat!

'N she dines with actors,
'N Wall Street characters:
Dull talk;
Nice clothes --
See her?
She blows --
(She's so important
'Cause he gets to do talk shows --)

SHE'D TAKE ANY KIND OF PAIN FROM ME,
WOULDN'T SHE, BOBBY? (Yeah, she would!)
SHE'D TAKE ANY KIND OF PAIN FROM ME,
WOULDN'T SHE, BOBBY?
SINCE SHE HAVEN'T GOT A NAME,
LET ME JUST EXPLAIN:
ANY KIND OF PAIN
IS PROB'LY HER HOBBY

No . . . ow-ow-ow-oh . . . no . . .

She has moved up now;
She's come a long way --
They give her bunches
Of words she can say!

When she's in a bold mood,
"Confinement Loaf" sounds good --
That's right,
She's wrong!
Let's end
Her song

(It seems she's everywhere
We just can't escape her --
Is this a miracle of pure evolution?
And all the yuppie boys, they dream they will rape her --
She brings the BUS RIDE
To a thrilling conclusion!)

YES, SHE'S EVERY BIT AS TAME AS ME,
ISN'T SHE TENDER?
YES, SHE'S EVERY BIT AS LAME AS ME,
LET US REMEMBER,
SHE GETS ONLY HALF THE BLAME
ONLY HALF THE BLAME
ONLY HALF THE BLAME
UNLESS WE EXTEND HER --
 
That explains it, never watch that or Current Affair, or that Brainiest Kid show.

OH dear, look what I am missing. :D

She drives me insane. And don't start me on that show. In the first week, one of the final special topics was "Ancient Rome". (MY forte.) Anyway. Smart ass kid thought he was doing great by stealing other kid's questions. First question: "Who were the mythical founders of Rome?" Smart ass kid stops for a minute, stutters a bit, and then throws out an answer that sounded a LITTLE like the actual answer. (As I said before: my forte. The answer was wrong. Smart ass kid couldn't remember.) But Anna, bless her, looked at her card, and not knowing if his answer was right, let him have the points anyway. Dumb skank. :mad: (Yes, I know it's trivial. But that's not the point.)

Alas, this is an all too common problem on that show, too many almost-right-sounding answers getting called right. Here's my favourite example:

Anna Coren, Question: To the nearest whole number, what was Don Bradmans test batting average?
Kid: 99.94
AC: Correct! And isn't that amazing, we only asked for the nearest number but you managed to give us the exact average!

Now, I may be being a little pedantic (actually, I'm not), but that answer was wrong. Yet the kid gets praised for being a smart-arrse. What a crock. I'd be so much more awesome on that show that any of those little people...
 
Leave her alone, shes talking to little children, how would you talk to them? I would imagine any from BF would just tell them how stupid they are to pump themselves up.

Life is full of disappointment. They should get used to it now.

She makes Naomi Robson look like a credible current affairs host.
She bounces around so much that she looks like shes going to burst through your TV screen and throttle you [maybe it's just me ;) ].

A freaky scary lady,which probably explains why she's also hosting the geeks show on sunday night.

Yeah. He said Remus, but he only said something that sounded like Romulus for the other name - whatever it was, it was certainly not Romulus. **********head.
 
poor host

she should be reading the news with a tone like that

not interacting with gameshow contestants
