well the only thing I gave up really was that Phelps won another Gold....no suprize there....lol

True, and I already saw it on nbcolympics.com since I was checking there to see what they thought was currently live.

You guys go ahead, I'll go make a snack and come back in an hour and make comments on what you saw an hour ago.

This gymnastic scoring is atrocious.

I was thinking the same thing. I still have it on, but I am not watching it.

I don't really like the new scoring system. It's strange.

That Romanian girl scored awfully low. I always liked the Romanian gymnasts but they just don't have it this time.

The scoring always favors the host country regardless of what anyone says. Look at the balance beam routine that just took place. That girl (from China) balance checked 4 or 5 times and look at the score she received.

I don't know how Nastia and Shawn are able to keep their composure while they keep getting burned on their scores.

I think I head the music that you were talking about when you posted that, we're delayed off of the east coast olympics feed so it's a bit of a time warp in here.
