I couldn’t agree more, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Absolutely, although it doesn’t surprise me. Bryce comes across as a guy who will only think about the business and would be more concerned if it caused any negative impact/connotations than it being respectful to do so. Obviously, I don’t know him but he seems to have that air about him imo.

I definitely agree, however I feel a more fitting/thoughtful tribute would’ve won more people over? They could’ve had interviews with a few of the competitors. I dunno, it’s not all about the money, sometimes it’s about doing what’s right. I’m just a bit sad I suppose.

they actually had a great tribute put together which they put out on social media. no idea why they wouldnt use that. the lack of effort they put into the one in the show was almost insulting.

I liked the simplicity of it.

It was unfortunate for Bish so many guys guys nailed the stones so fast but also great for Luke. Just proves the stones are generally too light.

Yeah I totally appreciated that this is just my point of view. I feel it was just bushed over, by also maybe that was right. Who knows. I wonder if the closeness of him passing to the showing being aired had anything to do with it.

Technically speaking bish should of lost alot more points if his tire coming out of the skip was reffed abit stricter

He could of found himself only finishing in the top 5 with Paul benton

thoughts on the heats? was excited to watch after the drama of the spreadsheet but its kind of a weird watch being held inside with no crowd.

did they get outside for the final or was it all indoors?

Not as exciting to watch on tv as it was to watch the spreadsheet updates. Lol.

Points to note, for me:
Bish needs to make sure he leaves no stone unturned next year, as I’m sure he will. He’s been lucky this year.
That fella who did stone off against Tom was frickin good! Tom was awesome. Novikov doesn’t ‘appear’ to have cheated yet. And is awesome so far.

It really is poor

5 guys with 2 to go through with 3rd getting a chance to get to the final load of bollox the format is a big load of bolloxyturd.

Far too much waffle bollox and not enough of the "action" I reckon if someone was pedant enough to put a stopwatch on the programmed time the actual competition footage would be maybe 10minutes

The commentary is cringeworthy

So far there's been very little jazz in regards to how it's been produced. People go on about how it's a TV show and not a competition, but this year it's been very boring so far. Can't really see how you can blame the lack of spectators either as they are never a big factor in any previous WSM. It's just lacked a spark so far I'd say

I feel they should show every athlete on every event. I don’t mind the commentary.

Also, they should’ve put canned applause over the action, it sounds so weird with barely any noise.
