Personally, I think so far that Will has been a great addition to the broadcast. Losing Jenny felt like we took a step back in the professionalism of the sport, and I was thinking they wouldn't be able to find a good replacement.

But Will has had moments where she isn't afraid to ask tough questions, she seems to have a genuine interest in the sport, and I gotta admit, there's something about a woman reporter with a British accent that makes us look a little more classy on TV.

And to live up to this cheesy avatar I have, let's also not forget.... She's kinda sexy:






I hope she sticks around for awhile!

I don't care for her at all, but she does a good job and is sharper than RC.

Going to agree with poster above. Not a fan at all but I prefer Lisa Wheeler who just does the interviewing.

Is there anything about the sport you do like?

I agree with the OP, Jenny was some pretty big shoes to fill, and so far, Will has done a great job.

There was some definite chemistry between her and Dan Blair - especially in the early rounds of SX.

I was a mechanic for a privateer in the 450 class at pala. Will was standing under the tents with us in the mechanic area watching the lap times and the NBC feed and legit taking notes on a notepad, studying the fricken race as it was happening. She works extremely hard and it shows. We're lucky to have her.

British accent?? That is a very Australian sounding British accent.

Anyway, Will Christien -

"kinda sexy"?

That's an understatement. Anyhow, good on you for starting this thread. Will is beautiful and talented. I hope we have her for a long time.

I just don't think she brings any personality which I personally like to see in interviews, Georgia was great with that stuff. Obviously Will is a professional and she probably works her ass off, but in my opinion Georgia, Jenny Taft or Juliana Daniell would be more enjoyable to listen to. But that's just my opinion. 😅

Anybody ever notice how she starts most questions with a negative statement towards the rider? “After such a horrible first moto, what did it take ..,..?

I just wish they would let the rider get their helmet off, get some water, get the snot out of their nose, before cramming that microphone down their throat.

I think she does a great job, and seems like she is getting better every round.

You want her to ignore the reality of the situation? I’d rather anyone who’s reporting to be straight up rather than blow smoke up these guys asses. They get enough of that already

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing. In my opinion, the fact that she’s signed on to both outdoors and supercross shows massive dedication. She doesn’t take the job lightly.

The pixelation in this video almost made me blind. How did we ever live with 240p resolution?

Just average imo.
To me, Taft was far better in every way.

I've done a little bit of sports interviewing. Trying to think of interesting questions is not an easy thing to do.

She does nothing for me, just a plain Jane average looking woman. Not a bad looking women just not someone I would rank as hot. Go to your local Target store for 30 minutes and you will see 20 better looking women.

As for her performance at the races, I would say she does a really good job. I don't think she's Jenny Taft level yet, but she's not far off. I think she understands the sport and really works hard to bring us relevant info. She seems to work very well with Daniel Blair and the rest of the crew. I say we have it pretty good with her on the broadcast.
