Jaime's top 5 of the Vancouver games
- Bob Costas - I love him. Seriously.
- Mary Carillo's nightly 'slice of Canada' segments - the blind sled dog killed me.
- Shaun White's 1260 McTwist
- Podium being used as a verb
- Brian Orser finally getting a gold medal - albeit as a coach but still pretty awesome.
Jaime's bottom 5 of the Vancouver games
- Julia Mancuso's whining
- Commentator for bobsled - that man's voice positively shredded my nerves. Plus, he used the term "catfight" at least three times in two minutes to describe the disintegration of a women's 2-man team. Really, "catfight"? During a national, prime time broadcast?
- Despite being co-located in the same time zone as the Olympics, being on tape delay
- Meryl Davis and Charlie White - ugh. Loathe them.
- Unreasonable coverage of ski jumping - I get it. They fly. They jump really far. And it's impressive. I swear it is. But, why, oh why must we watch so many jumps. And so many jumpers. On the normal hill. On the large hill. Oh, my God - just stop.

I just had a huge LOL moment with the "catfight". I also agree that Julia whines way too much, so you didn't get a gold- big deal. I also agree with the skiing- end it already. It gets to the point where I am watching curling to break it up.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I was surprised to see that ice-skating(not dancing) didn't make it as one of the top five. :)
Thanks, Mar! Glad I made you laugh. The catfight thing was just abominable. I actually found several web articles that referenced it.
ReplyDeleteRegarding ice skating, if you were surprised I didn't include Evgeny's shameful post-award whining, I didn't include it in my list because I am choosing to not acknowledge his poor sportsmanship.
