Why does this woman feel so compelled to unrelentingly be talking over others--especially a much more qualified Yasser? She will not listen. Plans her next interlude while co-host is talking, then delivers it, over speakers their half done sentence, again and again, and again. A matter of degree, not of kind. Rude. Painful to hear her. Had to shut it off. Good reddens.

Remove ashley. The bulb-head black guy does not bring anything to the table. The seirawan guy is also pretty much only a faire-valoir guy, but remove ashley first.
