Wait did everyone get a brief commercial at the beginning of Dalton's FX!?!

i wonder if nbc is just going to focus on hotness and the better routines then gloss over the end like that time i went to a civil war museum in louisiana

NBC loves to show suffering.

We'll see all the embarrassing falls rather than most routines.

The whole petition thing is gonna be a gold mine for them.

I'd love for NBC to surprise though and show the good stuff. Like Ukraine having a great meet.

Nah. Dalton is hot and did well the other night and we barely saw him. NBC seeks out failure and disappointment.

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

I think I should stop watching now. It's the point when everything goes downhill.

Tim totally jinxed Daney by all the talk about how gifted he is mentally in terms of blocking out pressure. Damn Daggett and the broadcaster jinx!

i'd love to see the british team. their bronze/silver/bronze is one of the highlights of the games for me.

I'm watching on NBC and their coverage is just so, so bad. You don't even get a sense that there is a competition going on cos only the Americans are being shown. Where's the tension? Where's the suspense? This sucks.

[ChelleC]

It's like they're showing the Americans competing in a box. The story of everyone else is missing. GRRRRRR I hate NBC.

[ssminnow]

listen to this commentary: "that was close...that was OK...actually that was bad...that was bad too..." these people are getting paid for this?

If only this were just practice. Unfortunately, it isn't!

Tim doesn't have to be a horrible commentator. He's commentated with Borden a few times and was actually decent.

Ugh yeah thanks people.

FIrst my dumb local channel gave Lochte's nite away.
Then I'd had the mute on so I didnt know what they said re Franklin.
Now-

oTOH I should be packing for my move anyway. (This week and I'm not ready!! :eek

Daggett is going to become hysterically insane pretty soon with his "This is the apocalyptic end of the lives for these guys! What are they going to do for the rest of their lives except crawl into a ball of isolation and die because of this disastrous Olympic experience" yada yada yada.

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

Louis Smith's hair makes me think of Josh from last season of Project Runway.

[Smiley0884]

Wait--Did you guys know John Orozco is from the BRONX?!!??!
