I tuned into some of the ice skating. Man, you'da thought it was American Idol the way the announcers were all trying to be like Simon. They were ripping into those skaters, pretty petty stuff I thought.
You are right about that. Dick Button was horrible. At least Simon Cowell is entertaining. Dick was just annoying.
I tuned in some of the pair skating one night. None of them to stay up. IIRC, 5 couples had at least 1 fall during their performance that night. It was difficult to watch, considering these were supposed to be the best in the world.
