They shouldn't be idiots, shouldn't have an IQ less than 30, and shouldn't be named "Brianna"
The above quote has been scaled down to a TL;DR version for your viewing pleasure.
Anyway, I have to say that DariusJOHNSON's commentating has stepped up in the second weekend compared to the first, and although he's not as fast paced and skilled in PVP as Kil2 appears to be, they both compliment eachother well in commentating.
This can't be said for Verone and Brianna however. Sometimes, just sometimes, when I listen to Verone laughing when Brianna asked him about what he thought about how the Tengu looked like a fish, I can hear a voice in his head going WHY AM I STUCK WITH THIS WOMAN. I was overjoyed on Sunday when I found out Brianna was not commentating.
Some people have brought up the argument that "Oh, it's her first time, leave her alone" or "She's just nervous, how would you feel if you were being listened to by thousands of people". However, I myself am a Theatre student, I've performed in front of audiences of hundreds and I know what stage fright feels and looks like, how it feels to make a mistake or to mess up a line. Nervousness can cause underemphasis with words and an unwillingness to draw attention to yourself. Brianna, on the other hand, is constantly willing to draw maximum attention to herself with a great deal of emphasis. She seems extremely happy to go rambling on about fish and bugs and Balegorns and pointing out obvious things and repeating near everything her fellow commentator says.
In all seriousness, I've got nothing against her playing Eve. I'm fine with her doing whatever she wants in the game to make herself happy. But when it's myself and the other thousands of people watching the alliance tournament, when it's our fun, our entertainment she's affecting, things are quite different.
Anyway, rant about Brianna aside, I'd like to see more commentators like Kil2, Verone and Darius. Easy to understand, fairly knowledgable about various aspects of Eve, able to have a laugh when something's funny, and with personalities that I can really connect with when listening to their commentary.
Ah well. Roll on finals weekend! 
Edit: As a side note, I'm even thinking of applying for next year as long as it doesn't interfere with the uni year, before anyone says "You do it then"
