My first complaint: C'mon, what we're watching tonight already happened this morning, so, commercials that go over an ice pairs performance? Really? The other night it was the Israel men's skater, tonite it's the French pairs. Ridiculous!
Second complaint:We all know we're being spoon fed, right? I mean, they show the popular stuff in primetime, when they could very easily show it during the actual run time. I don't mind the 14-hour time difference.
Comments: Oooh, almost had a major wardrobe malfunction, and it happened right at the 3rd twizzle! How unfortunate. You'd think, for the Olympics, someone's mom would have made extra certain all the straps were double secure.
Snowboarding...Woo Hoo!! My grandson had to spend the weekend in the hospital after a crash 3 weeks ago on his board...but we both watched it. Getting ideas how to set up some new jumps...we'll probably have to hide them at my house so his mom doesn't freak out (don't worry, I am going to MAKE him wear his full-face helmet- one of his injuries was breaking his eye socket and 2 ribs)
Ice skating- the commentators mentioned something about if your toe-pick touches the ice on some element, bad scores. Uh, ok? I've only owned 3 pairs of skates (one for every 20 years) and the last pair I bought was really giving me trouble. I just kept tripping! So I did some problem solving, and looked at my old skates. The old skates did not have toe picks!! I don't know if they were made that way or my husband shaved them off, and maybe my dad did on my first pair? I don't think so. Anyway, I went to the local "this is where everyone gets their gear professionally maintained (they know that the blade has two edges!) and told them to take off the first toe-pick. The tech, a guy about my age, thought I was crazy until I told him I'm paying for this, these picks are gonna kill me, and I learned to skate with no picks. He did it, I went to the local outside rink and spent a couple hours falling down and sailing. So, what about you? Do YOU have all your toe-picks?
Gossip: Lil' Kim is copying Johnny Weir's hairstyle!
ICE DANCE, not pairs, sorry.
If by chance I watch any of it, will get back to you.
Is the Olympic Flame supposed to look like kimchi jar?
when all else fails you can always find curling!
I am as done with the Olympics as I am with the NFL.
I hope our shooting and hockey teams do well, but I have no interest in following it.
Thank you for starting this thread, Freeper commentary makes the Olympics even more entertaining.
Re: ice dancing: I’d rather watch figure skating, I like the jumps and lifts. The downhill is supposed to be on tonight, but knowing NBC, I’ll probably have to stay up until midnight to catch it.
Just glad there is college basketball on TV.
I can’t stand Johnny Weir’s hair.
Some Norwegian with an extremely silly mustache just set a ski jump world record.
LOL
Johnny’s hair was ridiculous!
I had no idea who he was, but my husband knew who he was. Not sure how that happened!?
But that hair was really distracting, and not in a good way.
He looked like a total moron. Epic hair fail, it was laughable.
American Red Gerard currently in first place in freestyle snowboarding.
USA! USA! USA!
Any subjectively scored event...ice dancing, figure skating, snowboarding, etc.....shouldn’t be in the Olympics. Medals shouldn’t be awarded according to the whims of judges.
I am going to root against Lindsay Vonn. Just because.
Sure glad Ashley Wagner is not skating.
I may have missed it, what was the score for the Summo Ice Dancer that does the Flying Dutchman and finishes with the Baby Bird ?
Haven’t watched a millisecond and don’t miss it.
It was Political before the first American stepped on a Plane for the trip over there. Now it’s just some Trump hate by a couple of “look at me” Gays.
If I want to see Gay Drama, I’ll watch more BRAVO and HGTV.
Around 15 years ago I got a pair of hockey skates and learned how to skate around them in solidarity with my goalie son. No toe picks. Now I am relearning skating again with figure skates and I am not very good. But I want my toe picks! Now I need them!
Yes and Johnny wears his hair better and more masculinely, take that lil kimmie!
The little bit of the march in of the nations I saw, they kept playing Gangnam style. Did nobody want to “pony” into the stadium?
Cool that the USA jackets had self warming elements in them. Thank you Ralph Lauren née Lipschitz.
The Canadian chick who just skated had terrible music, I hated it. Minus twenty points!!!!
Apparently Bob Costas is sitting out these Olympics with those awful up-close-and-personal segments which repeated frequently enough that was almost no time left for sports.
My wife just informed me that he got caught up in the #metoo movement.
