To be a good MC you have to be able to pronounce everyone's name. Plenty of difficult ones to pronounce among bodybuilders, etc.
Chick would have used this ploy to talk to the fitness gals. "Honey, how do you pronounce your last name?"
Bob is ok as an MC but often comments too much about the physiques. That surely is a no no.
Tony Doherty from Melbourne is a good MC.
