Thought the various Olympic commercials with the dinosaurs were rather odd. Guess it is also a movie ad but wasn't clear to me how one related to the other. NBC coverage have been good in the times I have watched, but don't watch every event. With the time difference you can already see who won online long before the show airs.

Some announcers gibber/gabber too much to fill up the air time and I just turn the sound off to watch the competition. I liked figure skating better a few years ago when the scoring was clearer. Now it seems overly complicated to accomplish the same end result.

Yeah, the fascinated looks (for the guy who saw the herbivores, at least ) were great, but there really isn't a connection. I think it was just a way to get people to watch the ads.

First medal Canada - don‘t know what colour but they are currently first with only one pair left to go (being vague because I’m not sure what the spolier thoughts are here).

Spoilers are welcome since most events happen in the late night/early morning ET hours anyway. NBC’s competitors say what happened during the night by the morning news anyway.

I'll just say I feel bad about watching this Olympics and probably won't watch any.

Probably going to be the same way about the World Cup, but haven't decided for sure.

Mila from Russia was pretty amazing, saying the best figure skater ever. Don't miss her

 

[Buzz Rules]

I feel so bad for that USA skier who did not finish.

Love the Winter Olympics more than summer ones.

Skiing and skating are my favourites but pretty well watch what ever is on.

Me too. I've had it on ever since Opening Ceremonies. I would rather watch these athletes than just about anything else on TV.

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

I feel so bad for that USA skier who did not finish.

Hopefully she is able to complete her runs in the other 4 categories.

 

[Planogirl]

I always cheer for the Dutch and Norwegians too so there is usually plenty to be happy about in the Winter Olympics. Love most winter sports!

Do you prefer the red Twizzle sequence or the Licorice Twizzle sequence?
