I actually give NBC credit for that, knowing how much they love the teary drama.  I watched the live feed, and Sui Lu started crying immediately after her teammate's score was posted and kept the tears flowing all through the medal ceremony.  The two didn't do the traditional kiss on the cheek on the podium, just…

On the BBC live feed, they mentioned that the two of them were good friends.  I think his attitude was, "If I'm going to lose gold, at least it was to THAT."

The whole bar final was just insane.  Even the guys who were realizing they were out of medal position were enjoying watching the top three.  Unbelievable.

I was pissed at that comment too, but for a different reason.  The score put Berger in the lead because there was a another Canadian vaulter before her, whose two minutes of vaulting we were not allowed to see for some reason.  But Trautwig and the rest acted like Berger was first.  They did a similar thing on the…

Oh God, that whole piece was awful.  "We're in Scotland!  Did you know they wear kilts?  And listen to bagpipes? Yep, they're all Groundskeeper Willie's out here!"

BBC wins just for gymnastics commentary alone.  The analysts they've got actually analyze the events and explain how the rules and deductions work.  And they show all the scores!

It says a lot that my expectations are so low by this point I was sure they'd show poor Hannah Whelan's vault as an example of how far superior we are to the other countries.  And as yet another opportunity for the commentators/Costas to mock the host country,

Didn't you hear Al Trautwig?  He said it was a two country competition between the US and Russia.  There were no other countries competing tonight.  All that cool floor music you heard in the background?  Just a figment of the imagination.  They probably just picked the bronze medalists out of a hat.  But it was worth…

Bob Costas always seems like he'd rather be doing anything else than cover the Olympics.  It started at the opening ceremony, when he went out of his way to dismiss the awesomeness that is badminton.

I actually don't mind Dick Button, since he does explain why deductions are taken, what makes a routine worth more points, etc.  Rowdy is annoying (and seems to have no respect for personal space) but of all the announcers, Al Trautwig is the worst.  I wouldn't be surprised if NBC created him in a lab just to push the…

I rather liked his commentary last night when he said, "There will be a gold.  There will be a silver.  There will be a bronze." Which I assume was followed by everyone at home yelling, "NO SHIT!!!" at their TV screens.

If they want to stay somewhat true to the original, Hill needs to cast two actresses who despise each other.  Cybill Shepherd and Christine Baranski?
