The commentator is horrible. It makes my head explode to think that NBC is actually paying him to commentate this show.

Not this show specifically but on other episodes he tries to chime in with unwitty, corny one liners. He adds no actual insight. Part of the show's concept is to let the players talk freely but when one of the players starts an interesting story the commentator talks over him with useless dribble. Perfect timing to try and display your incompetent analysis/color commentary.

I never thought that a tv commentator could infuriate me but this one actually did it. I'm even more infuriated by the fact that I'm infuriated by a totally inept commentator showing my lack of any social life.

Actually, starting in week 3, Nejad has really toned down the commentary. The first two weeks, he was absolutely awful, but he changed after that. Fewer sarcastic comments, less talking over the players. I think he does a very good job now.
