NBC - Day 2- Revenge of the Bathing Suit: Swimming, Beach Vollyball, and Gymnastics.

Random, I wish they had them starting off the other side of the pool. It just seems.. weird to have them starting and finishing on the left end. It seemed weird in Beijing, too.

WOW, Dana! :respec:

[Lacey]

Her top cap fell off in the pool, that's weird.

[Matryeshka]

lol! It's like the most terrible thing has happened...the world may never be the same because PHELPS PLACED FOURTH!

Clearly the end of Western Civilization. In fact, the water is the tears weeped by children and puppies all over the world who have realized that a beautiful, beautiful dream has died.

Vollmer is an insensitive, horrible person to win with a WR when all of our hopes were dashed by Phelps. Come on Andrea, ask her what this means for Phelps. You know you want to.

Does Andrea wear a wig? Because the humidity in the pool area would wreck havoc on anyone's hair - hers doesn't move.

[my little pony]

will all those head and shoulders commercials on the live feed be reshot with vollmer now?

[Lacey]

Does Andrea wear a wig? Because the humidity in the pool area would wreck havoc on anyone's hair - hers doesn't move.

She probably wears Aqua Net, remember that--it was plastic.

Oh, good, I'd forgotten about the 200IM. We should do it again.

[Lacey]

They've really gotta stop about the Lochte-Phelps race, it's getting old.

[numbers123]

Rowdy - conserve your energy. Shut up

[Fridge_Break]

They've really gotta stop about the Lochte-Phelps race, it's getting old.

The world will stop orbiting if they don't.

How many times to I have to see Kim today? And she has the most untiffed jacket ever on the podium.

I liked it better than those horrible gray raincoats everyone else is wearing.

And I so wanted an interviewer to ask if she wants to comment on gun control.

[Theatregirl1122]

It's sort of hilarious to hear them talk about how smart Lochte is...

[Matryeshka]

Well, TG, when your immediate comparisons are Phelps, Andrea, and Rowdy....

[A.H.Black]

I love Cynthia Potter. Too bad the gymnastics commentators don't explain things they way she does.

I'm an hour behind so I apologize if this seems old. Cynthia wasn't always as good as she is now. In 1984, her use of "made-up" "not real" words was pretty bad. She was also a little abrasive in her criticisms. She has grown through the years and found ways to express her expert opinions in better and more effective ways.

By the way - She really learned during the triple cast in 1992. It was wonderful - like sitting in the stands with a friend who really knew diving.

[Theatregirl1122]

Well, TG, when your immediate comparisons are Phelps, Andrea, and Rowdy....

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure every time Lochte opens his mouth, a University of Florida degree gets devalued.
