Was great until a new commutator in Season 6!

I have liked ALL of the commentators, until this season with the addition of Prof. Michelle Mitchell. She speaks with the enthusiasm of limp lettuce and seems as excited about the subjects she speaks on as someone talking about paint drying. While some on here have complained about Andrew Gough being overly excited, which I would rather see and hear in a commutator! Mitchell speaks as if she dropping off to sleep, and taking the audience with her. Also on the Season 6 Episode 2 Laurel Valley Plantation she stated that the plantation had over 170 slaves. However Wikipedia says about 135 prior to the Civil War. To compound what Mitchell says we have Jim Meigs talking about the primitive slave quarters not even having window screens to keep out misquotes. Mr. Meigs most living in the US prior to the 1900's rich or dirt poor did not have window screens. In the South the norm was exterior and interior window shutters. Which could let fresh air move through a house, keep out rain, and block the heat of the sun from heating up the inside of a house. I happen to like what Lynette Nusbacher has had to say. She often says something profound or insightful. Her voice may be different sounding, but she speaks distinctly and clearly. For some to say she is only on the show to push an "agenda" (and not because she is knowledgeable on the subject), is false. She has never once said anything on any of MOTA episodes she has been on about herself or her sexuality on the show. She only speaks about the subject she speaking about.
