5 mins into Bravo's coverage
 
I feel like I am watching The View

I sure hope it turns around

It's Bravo. I figured the horses would be making art.

Thank God for twinspires tv

I swear this is unreal

Are straight men allowed on Bravo television? Not complaining, I just wondered cuz I'm not sure if I've seen one.

ETA: Sighted! Bob Neumeier for 5 whole seconds. :)

My mom had breast cancer last year and is doing well. I'm glad sporting events have incorporated awareness and a Ladies Day tie in makes sense so no complaints.

My cable network doesnt even have it listed under sports

Ladies First : Kentucky Derby

"A close-up on event related food and fashion at the Kentucky Oaks horse race. Included designed Isaac Mizrahi fashions correspondent Natalie Morales; and foodies Michael Voltaggio, Jennifer Carroll and Eli Kirshtein serve up festival fare."

No mention that they may show a horserace :wf

This telecast has the potential of being the worst racing production I have ever seen. Truly astounding.

From a marketing standpoint the network is trying to cater to their typical demographic (middle-aged women and gay men) who if they were watching probably change the channel 30 seconds in.

One of the guys just talked about how it's his first race---no! Shocking. He seems nice though. I know it sounds silly, but sometimes having a few very basic questions answered might be just what some folks would really like. Remember, he's kinda representing a lot of newbie fans out there.

Now we've got Donna Brothers, Tom Hammond and Gary Stevens. Thankfully people who know what they're talking about for the actual race. Might've been fun to see the other guy call it though. ;)

This stuff is awful. Real Housewives clips at 3 minutes to post. I'd prefer no TV coverage to this.

Potential..... try DONE DEAL... worst I've ever seen by far!

At least they're showing it there, here in CA they're showing one of their stupid reality shows with three women arguing with each other. They just showed a promo for "Bravo at the Derby" coming up at 5:00 today, guess they'll show the race on tape delay.

randallscott35 04-30-2010 04:54 PM

WHAT A FINISH!! Good for Hollendorfer.

It was kinda fun to watch our guys throw up in their mouths a little when they shifted suddenly from picking the winner to showing the top 5 Real Housewives horse related moments. I wanna know how much energy it took to try to keep a straight face.

I'm watching it live in L.A. on Dish. It has been a particularly brutal telecast.

Should have come out to the Best Bet.

ateamstupid 04-30-2010 05:02 PM

LOL @ the dumbass trophy wife in the winner's circle.

randallscott35 04-30-2010 05:04 PM

At least there was a payoff after watching the trainwreck which is Bravo.

LARHAGE 04-30-2010 06:39 PM

I want to hug the inventor of Tivo, that show was the worst presentation I have ever seen, luckily I watched a program on TV and than just fast forwarded all the way up to the starting gate.

You can tell the fat cows/jealous women are in charge at WAVE 3. If I didn't know any better the Oaks is always full of ugly women. No hot ones to be found.
