Is anyone else watching the synchronized diving in the Olympics?
They are pretty cool. But the lady commentator for this event is very annoying. She sounds like Nancy Grace. I wish I could mute the commentators sometimes, without turning off all of the sound.
yes! we have been saying the same thing at my house. and it's not just her accent, her intonation and emphasis (or whatever) are the same too. but the diving is amazing!
I just love how the commentators are rarely experts in whatever sport they are making commentary on so they make these broad statements they think make them sound like they actually know what they're talking about. In reality, they just end up sounding really stupid and really redundant. Its always: "OHHHH, that's going to cost them a tenth of a percentage point for stepping out of line there. That's really going to cost them" or "You know, so-and-so is an alternate to such and such after he broke his thingamabob. He must be feeling the pressure tonight."
Forgive my crass French, but sometimes you gotta say it like it is: the Olympic commentators are douches.
There, I said it. I can now feel at peace in my world.
I caught myself thinking the same thing this week! I said to myself (because nobody will watch the Olympics with me)"What is Nancy Grace doing here?" Go USA!
HOW FUNNY!!! I haven't watched much of the Olympics b/c we don't have TV, but I saw some over at my sister's one night and it was synchronized diving and we were making fun of the commentator lady all night AND I was thinking that she sounded like NANCY GRACE--what are the odds?!

Yes!! I love the synchronized diving. The commentators stink.
