Could they show any more commercials during the Olympics? Michaela and I have been waiting for weeks to see the women's gymnastics (Michaela is a huge Shawn Johnson fan. I like Alicia Sacramone) and it was just painful to watch for three reasons.First of all, all the dang commercials. NBC is just as bad as MTV about commercials during the olympics. It is just as annoying as it can get. There were times they would come back from a commercial break just to show one of the girls wrapping their wrists or something and to tell us what was coming up next and then they'd be off on commercials again.
Second, the American team had so many mistakes it was unbelievable. How they had the second highest overall score for the night is beyond me. They were all falling left and right until the last two rotations. It was really hard to watch.
Thirdly, they just HAD to do an interview with the president. UGH! Give me a break. That was the LAST thing I wanted to see during the Olympics. I would have rather seen our team fall a couple more times. But, then again his using the Olympics as his personal political soap box just irritates me to no end.
Anyway, we managed to watch until the end of the gymnastics preliminaries. Hopefully, the finals will be better on Tuesday.
