What's up with "The Chipmunk"?

Postby Lokiel » Sun Mar 20, 2016 1:48 pm

I've been casually watching TEN's Grand Prix coverage this weekend and have been getting annoyed with "The Chipmunk" (aka Natalie Hunter), she does some of "the fluff" pieces but her voice is really annoying (similar that of the MyBudget.com woman - need to hit the mute button every time that commercial comes up).

I realise that she's been brought in to help appeal to the female market and she's moderately attractive but she sounds like a teenage bimbo (at least she doesn't say "like" every second word or "OMG!).

Surely they can find a woman with a decent media voice too?

No idea. After the utter trainwreck of the new (now former) qualifying format, nothing else has really registered.

I thought you were talking about Vettel. He looks like a particular cartoon chipmunk...
