    EB sucks and she is not even good at it.

    Melissa Francis
    yes im serious

    The babes on the Hispanic Business Channel are hotter.

    Shes a skank. Probably horrible where it counts the most as well.

  8. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 11:14 AM

    I’m sorry but that blonde chick Sanda from FBN way hotter than ERin.

    WHAT???? No response from TGFD……….??? Thank GOD.

    Bess’s daddy issues turn me on.
    But that’s just because I’m old enough to be her brother.

  11. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 11:19 AM

    how much did CNBC pay for this publicity? Anybody who did that India special will get viewers out of curiosity. There’s nothing special to that show.

    I’d do Burnett, Brennan and Rebecca Jarvis in front of my wife’s lawyer.

    Bloomberg Asia’s Catherine Yang is HOT! She has the sweetest smile.She is an award winning financial reporter 3x in a row.

  15. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 11:26 AM

    I had an interesting dream yesterday. As I was arriving to my apt, Bess was waiting for me with nothing on but an apron. She was holding a freshly baked pie on her right hand and her hockey stick on her left hand.

    I would NOT get up in that ass and act a donkey

    Bring back that hottie Amanda Drurie. There’s something about that Aussie accent.

  20. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 11:39 AM

    @Cathy is not hot. As mentioned in previous posts, financial TV has serious asian chick non-hotness issues. My guess is that they cannot tell them apart.
    I would be happy to do the preselection for them.

  21. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 11:41 AM

    11:30am post……..this award is for 35 and younger dipshit…..read the opening below pic.

  22. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 11:43 AM

    it’s that cutesy little half smile/half smirk everytime CNBC goes to commercial that makes me want to throttle her.
    and do a few other things as well…

  23. Posted by FUNdamental | July 24, 2008 at 11:45 AM

    I’m sticking with ms. Quick, brennan and rebecca jarvis.

  24. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 11:58 AM

    This chick does not need this. If her head gets any bigger, they’re going to have to film her with a wide angle lens.
    - Erin Burnett’s Former Booty Call

  25. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 12:05 PM

    Frankly, that’s a beautiful photo of Ms. Burnett, and I’m not really a fan.

  26. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 12:14 PM

    She is flat, has wide hips and a big, yet not attractive ass. Not a tight body at all in my book. Can someone explain the appeal?

  27. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 12:14 PM

    Brennan rules.

  28. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 12:17 PM

    Melissa Francis has always been the hottest anchor. Blondes are so much easier on the eyes than boring brunettes.

  29. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 12:17 PM

    C’mon guys, she’s on there for her mind, not her looks.

  30. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 12:23 PM

    EB just has a look that gives me the impression that she would rather be with another chick..
    I am going with Melissa Frabcis on this one..after Bess (even with her Daddy issues)

  31. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 12:24 PM

    @20 has serious problem.I have no problem
    finding a hot Asian chick financial reporter.They have their own appeal and persona.I’m tired of watching CNBC and hear intrigues that’S how i discovered that watching low-key but great Bloomberg is better.Try checkig Cathy Yang out for ones! Unfortunately though (my guess ) she’s taken.

    Erin Burnett needs to be replaced by Erin Andrews….ESPN has hit it on the head.

  35. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 12:31 PM

    Lindsay Campbell also on that list.

  36. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 12:34 PM

    CNBC just knows how to target their audience.With several millions of Indian here there’s no doubt that ones-in-a-blue moon special can easily gather viewers.

  37. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 12:35 PM

    girl’s oriental?

  38. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 12:36 PM

    Lindsay Campbell was runner up? how did that happen?

  39. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 12:39 PM

    In Re: Lindsay Campbell
    Don’t get me wrong, she is absolute train smoke. But something about her goofy persona and her extreme sexiness don’t jibe (or is it gibe?)
    Kind of like Sarah Silverman, but don’t get me started on that one. mmmmm,mmmmmm.

  40. Posted by Investorcluzo | July 24, 2008 at 12:42 PM

    the only time I’ve seen lindsay on “real” tv was that ad for the birth control pill that keeps your friend flow from coming every month to something like twice a year…doesn’t add to the credibility of the list. that said, she’s not getting kicked out of bed for eating a bag of chips.
    @#38 – girl is not oriental, stop…

  41. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 12:45 PM

    35 and under list? ahem . . . Erin is no longer eligible for the 30 and under crowd. Getting a bit long in the tooth.
    No wonder she shot for the moon with her buy me everything list in Men’s Health magazine.
    Sad fact is she’s closer to 40 than her college days. Not her fault, just the sands of time.
    Out with the old . . . and bring back Amanda Drurie. Or Courtney Reagan deserves a turn.

  42. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 12:49 PM

    Erin Burnett’s head is going to swell some more due to non stop glorification of CNBC.

  43. Posted by Investorcluzo | July 24, 2008 at 1:01 PM

    @43 – crack kills…just because she has dark hair does not mean she’s oriental. this just in, girl just sent me an email from her pda with the following message: “[redacted]…tell him to eat me”. hey, don’t shoot the messenger.

  44. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 1:02 PM

    @ 44
    Let’s hope some of the swelling moves down to her chest.

  45. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 1:23 PM

    Becky doesn’t get as much camera time as Erin…she’s too busy correcting all that stuff about her on wikipedia.
    -BeckyBootFan
    @13…classic!

  46. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 1:37 PM

    c’mon, if you want the best CNBC talent you’ve got to look overseas. Amanda Drurie filled in for EB a couple weeks ago and probably doubled the ratings just with her Aussie accent. Rebecca Meehan in London looks a lot more frisky, Patricia Szarvas in Frankfurt would make a great dominatrix, and Christine Tan in Hong Kong may look a little tired but still has a set of DSL’s.
    The US team is way behind the curve.

  47. Posted by Investorcluzo | July 24, 2008 at 1:40 PM

    @47/43/38 – if you are referring to our dear friend @girl of @onetwo fame, then yes, we are referring to the same person. I’m not sure I would call her rebelious, more like sassy (or fiesty if you take offense to sassy). btw, blue top and black skirt? that is a questionable combo, please don’t tell me she had wedges on too. fk!

  48. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 1:42 PM

    She’s just another media fabrication just like everything else in Hollywood and periphery.

  49. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 1:43 PM

    My country right or wrong, 49.

  50. Posted by arioch | July 24, 2008 at 2:49 PM

    Maybe it’s just me… But everytime she uses the words “we” and “our”. i get the feeling she means them in the royal sense.

  51. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 4:03 PM

    i wonder what kind of mayo she goes for mmmm

  52. Posted by guest | July 24, 2008 at 4:08 PM

    Extreme censure going on on this blog. That confirms the theory that girl = asian Bess

  53. Posted by Anal_yst | July 24, 2008 at 4:27 PM

    girl!=asian bess

  54. Posted by guest | July 25, 2008 at 12:35 PM

    you guys are laaaaame. NO ONE at CNBC anymore is hot. Liz Claman left. ’nuff said.

  55. Posted by guest | July 25, 2008 at 12:38 PM

    Ay-men on Lizzzzz, YUM. and guys, you need to find God like i did. it’s called FOX BUSINESS. Waaay more pleasant to watch

  62. Posted by guest | July 29, 2008 at 5:06 PM

    #61 you’re the fkking genius. It’s a timing issue; many other posts received many more comments (Bear Stearns and bonus posts). The post was simply too old and DB wisely made way for new entrants.

  63. Posted by guest | July 29, 2008 at 9:38 PM

    At #51 she likes the baby batter kind of mayo and she prefers to swallow it.

  64. Posted by guest | July 29, 2008 at 9:49 PM

    ENOUGH with the teenager urban dictionary slang bullshit you could have just easily have said Cum, I mean “baby batter” who comes up with this shit.

  65. Posted by guest | August 13, 2008 at 9:14 PM

    Ashley Morrison is sooo HOT! I could watch her all day long! Gorgeous!

  66. Posted by guest | August 13, 2008 at 9:17 PM

    Ashley Morrison needs to be on CNBC or Fox. She’s too hot for Bloomberg!

  67. Posted by guest | October 23, 2008 at 1:16 PM

    How about giving Courtney Reagan more air time. She has brains, confidence, poise, attitude. And all wrapped up in gorgeous looking frame.

  73. Posted by guest | January 1, 2010 at 10:50 PM

    It is a bit hard finding who is hot, especially after Martha MacCallum and Liz Klaman left. With that being said though,I would throw my support behind Courtney Reagan…Hooaaah! Besides brains, she has got a hot looking frame. I would love to put something big and swollen between those hot looking ass cheeks of hers.
