If this world wasn't so PC now there would definitely be a way to incorporate bikinis and hot bodies into the filler segments. For example, Juliana could make stops at the team tents in a team colored bikini and interview the mechanics about the bike as she sits on the bike in her skimpy JGR themed bikini - "So J-Bone, can you tell me the suspension setup you are using tonight? Does it ride rough and hard through the whoops? Are you going with a longer travel fork tonight? Is the rubber hard or soft? "
Ratings would skyrocket. Sex sells.
Leigh Diffey or whatever his name is...he is an awesome and professional commentator. He knew the sport, the names and didnt make any mistakes. However, with him and the other chicks super heavy accents, this feels like MotoGP or MXGP and not SX. Him and the chick were very good and very professional but damn, they just have such heavy accents, its distracting.
Go ahead and hate, but I think an American Series should have an American look and feel to it.
Ricky was too excited and stuttered alot but he looks good back near his riding weight. He has a way to go but is getting better every year.
The short dude, Daniel is just awesome! More Daniel.
I hate the world we live in now.

It points to a larger question, which is, why is NBC cheesing out on the SX production? Obviously they inherited the whole shebang from Fox, crew included, found it to be less profitable than they liked, and are experimenting with ways to both trim the fat and change the direction of the programming.
For those who don't watch a bunch of other motorsports, Leigh Diffey is NBC's former F1 announcer and current IndyCar announcer. He's also done a bunch of sports car stuff for them and substituted on their NASCAR coverage. He is absolutely "more famous" in the mainstream than Ralph Sheheen, and surely earns more money. Unless Diffey is doing NBC a pro bono favor, the explanation that Juliana offered doesn't make sense.
I think NBC thinks they are doing SX a favor by having Diffey drop in. They tend to like to tie their different motorsports properties together. Opinions of him vary. I think he's a pro and has a great voice. But I also think he can go to far with the constant over-enthusiasm, in that it sounds canned after a while. The same can certainly be said of Ralph's style.
Not that I like commercials all that much, but I did notice that is wasn't the same six focus-grouped ads over and over this time. Bringing Diffey in for a bit may help them expand their audience reach some. I don't know how many people would watch something they normally don't just because of who the commentator is, but maybe..
The only cost savings, if any, as intensive pointed out would be do keep the team to 2 instead of 3- but who knows if Ralph's contract is a show-by-show or season deal? Did they have to pay him anyway? I doubt any of us know that for sure.
That being said, she did a prerecorded behind the scenes/pit report thing a couple of years ago that was actually good. Like someone said earlier, she seemed to be able to put the riders at ease when she was talking to them.

Don't assume my sexual preference!
My pronouns are ......
I'm LGBTQ+XYZ
etc etc
Mind you if it's a trans women in a dress and they look smoking hot, I'm ok with that.
eventuall NBC needs to wise up and bring DD back, class act, plus that ass in a bikini, holy balls of fire.
Obviously Ralph isn't perfect at his job, but to me he is way more exciting to listen to.
Its funny, I see all these hot chicks on the news channels, talking about stocks, business, weather, politics, tech, even every sport now has a token female reporter. ITS NEVER A FAT or UNNATRACTIVE person. Its always a piece of eye candy or someone with a gender chip on their shoulder that got the position to appease some demographic. Youre telling me that no other unattractive man or woman is more capable of doing a better job? There is no equal opportunity, if that was the case we would have a much more diverse range of male and female commentators. Theres many social, political and economic reasons for all the choices. Not all of them are the right or fair reasons. So I can pitch for my dream team just like you or anyone else can, correct?
