Beijing Olympics Thread - Part II

[bono_212]

I find vomit on TV wholly unnecessary. We need THAT in the parental warnings.

It's just that it was a COMMERCIAL, I was not expecting that at all (though since it was a baby it was actually "spit up"). I was watching and I was like, "they won't show it." and then...they did.

Is this obnoxious commentator Daggett?

 

[sulawesigirl4]

mmm baby vomit.

oh hey, here's jonathan! c'mon!!!!

 

[bono_212]

Swimming!

 

[sulawesigirl4]

Is this obnoxious commentator Daggett?

yesssss. the annoying one who will NOT shut up. which would be one thing if he said anything interesting but he doesn't. it's like verbal diahrea. yeah, speaking of vomit...

One of the French relay swimmers here is gorgeous. Sorry.

Hey, "18 year old Alison Schmidt is just 18 years old"....way to go, Dan Hicks.

Daggett is horrible and I think he tends to ruin it for American viewers. This Jonathan guy is really not particularly great and nobody expects him on any kind of podium, but you sure wouldn't know it listening to Tim. And the women's team was not the favourite coming in - the Chinese had a better team and most reasonable people knew it. But again, NBC talked up the expectations.

I blame 18 Year Old Alison Schmidt.

United States, you are NEVER allowed to host the Olympics again after that one.
