What do you think of the TVG announcers ?
I think Rich Perloff is the most entertaining announcer. I like his no nonsense style and the way he interacts with viewers through emails and twitter.
Paul Lo Duca is by far the best handicapper out of the bunch in my opinion. He is always giving out live horses and a lot of them are at a price .
I find Todd Schrupp impossible to listen to. I find him to not only be the most annoying person on TVG but possibly the most annoying person on all of TV. I have no idea if he is a good handicapper or not because when I see him on TVG I have to either hit the mute button or just change the channel. I am shocked he still has a job at TVG with their high turnover rate. I would think he would be the first to be shown the door.
I was just curious what other people thought ....

I agree the guys on the quarters are good. I like when they have the original group on Mike Joyce, Dave Weaver, Les Onaka.
Yeah I saw the two new girls. I have not really heard enough of their picks to judge their handicapping , but they are both easy on the eyes

Rich Perloff is my favorite too, but I enjoy watching Todd Schrupp. He looks like a person who really enjoys his job, horse racing and life in general. I like how he bursts into song sometimes. 
But I know what you mean. There are some people on TV, not on TVG, that I can't stand looking at either.
My 92 year old grandmother used to have an angry reaction whenever Sarah Palin was on TV. She'd curse and throw things at the TV. I used to laugh, because Grandma didn't really know anything about politics. I'd never seen her vote or make any sort of political comment. I don't even know if she's a democrat or republican. She just couldn't stand looking at Sarah Palin's face or hearing her voice.
Some people just get on your nerves, I guess.

That's hilarious that you use Sarah Palin as a example because I actually really like her lol.

They are all good imo..i think some of them are entertainers and some are handicappers...nobody gets on my nerves though. I have met alot of them in person and they have been down to earth and accessible..schrupp is probably the worst out of the bunch

I agree some are entertainers and some are handicappers which brings me to my next point ....
Juaquin Jaime ( spelling ??? ) anyways I am sure he is a nice guy off camera but watching him is like watching paint dry. He Definently does not fall in the entertainer category. And his handicapping is so bad that it defies mathematical probability. The guy usually always picks chalk which would make you think he would get at least some winners from time to time but despite chalking out all the time he still manages to somehow rarely even hit the board with his picks much less actually win a race. He Definently is not a handicapper .
So if he's not a entertainer and he's not a handicapper than how does he still have a job ???? I would much rather them give rich Perloff a few extra shifts or maybe give that new girl Brittany eurton a few shifts.

I believe his proper name is "4 Time Major League All Star" Paul Lo Duca.
