This thread isn't for haters. Be gone with you I say!

That's what you'd expect

Normally those who are unhappy are the most vocal. I have nothing to complain about, so I feel no urge to write about Natali on the show is making me feel.

She's doing her job. If you all are so unhappy with her, then stop listening to the show. There are plenty of other tech talk shows out there. All of the whiners and Natali bashers certainly aren't helping the situation by posting your petulant remarks. You just give this show and its loyal fans a horrible reputation.

Most of the posts in the AntiNatali thread are defending her

And so far it's small number of folks (i've counted 5-6 so far) who are posting their displeasure over and over).

I find that interesting.

Natali, keep up the good work!

And for all the haters out there, hating Natali won't bring Molly back.

That's not the point

I respect Molly's decision to cut back her BOL hosting. Natali doesn't fit into the show, and there are several other people that would.

and perhaps they can't...

...commit to the daily Buzz. I still think Natali is doing a great job (which is the point of this thread), considering that she is on the East coast. And she has improved by leaps and bounds since she first came to CNET.

How about some names?

Better Replacements

Rafe Needleman, Brian Cooley or possibly even Brian Tong.

Leo! Happy

Yep.

When the guest host thing started I remember thinking that Natali was the only one that DIDN'T work on the show. And they go and make her the new co-host... go figure.

I like Natalie she is a great addition to BOL since Molly is gone she fits with the boys so lets keep this going that Natalie is good.

Thumbs up!
Feb 9, 2009 3:30AM PST

She doesn't have the edge of Molly (but then, who does) but as a regular Tekzilla watcher Veronica's slightly strained voice still occasionally sets my teeth on edge.

*Pause while the V Army tramples over me, and moves on*

Natali has a very smooth voice. Jason is 'regular bloke' voice with no nasty edges, and Tom has 'polished announcer' voice. I find BOL a pleasure to listen now.

We just need someone else to get angry. Jason and Natali both seem too nice, Tom's too professional, and Cooley's a ham. What's Dan Ackerman like when he's riled up?

No Rants Required
Feb 9, 2009 5:02AM PST

This isn't about rants or getting angry, it's about thoughtful insight. Tom can analyze and give the history of the story, Jason can give you a funny story about whatever they're talking about and Natali can......ummmm.....antagonize and alienate the guest host.

Natali is great!
Feb 12, 2009 8:55AM PST

As I said elsewhere, I am a very long-term BOL-er, I have seen all the changes, and I think the current mix is very possibly the most entertaining of the lot.

Veronica was good, Molly was good, Natali is good. Now, if Tom leaves, I am outa here! Shocked)
