I thought about titling this post "Kirsten Gum...wow!" That line alone should unearth a slew of horndogs as well. You see, I searched for anything and everything I could find on Kirsten recently. And, I was a little disappointed. Not much out there really.
Kirsten Gum is host of a Travel Channel show called Cash and Treasures. It's one of those dumb "travel" programs whereby the host travels the world in search of, well...Cash and Treasures. This includes so-called treasure hunting, treasure diving, digging in rock quarries, looking under rocks for valuable mushrooms, and so on. Searching for "buried treasure" if you must. Cash and Treasures is really another weak attempt to masquerade showcasing an extremely appealing host (or is that hostess?) in high definition. Calling Kirsten Gum extremely appealing, or the lessor pretty, is pretty much of an understatement. She's a knockout...as well as being smart as a whip in a tomboy girl-jock model sort of way. She ain't afraid of gettin' down and dirty either! Groveling in the mud, muck, and mire with un-manicured fingernails, then sticking them right into a closeup camera lens to proudly display a small emerald she has found...well, you gotta hand it to her. She's comes across as quite unfettered by the usual cutesy vanity you see in the Giadas, the Rachels, and the Sandras of T.V. show hosting fame. I'd like to see that Giada woman all sweaty and dirty, hair sticking to her neck, mud on her knees butchering a chicken or something. Maybe that would knock the perennial silly faux cheshire smile off her over-sized face. And, by the way, I kind of like watching Giada. As for Rachel? Not so much any longer. Too much in a short amount of time. She's exhausted what appeal she had in her two dimensions. That exhaustion occurred after about 10 minutes of watching her staccato caffeine fed blathering while attempting to demonstrate how to cook a gourmet meal in 30 minutes or less. I keep waiting to see the headline, "Food TV Network Star's Head Explodes Live On Camera!" Brains (what little there was), hair, teeth, and EVOO everywhere. Oh, the humanity of it all!
Back to Kirsten Gum. What a doll! Prior to the Cash and Treasures gig, she worked on ESPN (Nascar specifially) as well as many other sports-related broadcasts. I saw her interview a driver trackside not too long ago, and I couldn't get over just how vivacious her on-camera presence was. Not to mention the apparent ease with which she made the interviewee feel comfortable. Who wouldn't feel comfortable standing right next to her? By the way, she was much taller than the driver she was interviewing. That could be a little intimidating. Smart...beautiful...charismatic...vivacious...and tall!
I have only one criticism of Kirsten Gum. Work on that manicure when you're not digging for treasure in the mud. Like that detraction would actually make a difference!
P.S. I couldn't find any nude photos of her on line. Sorry guys.
