If I never saw Bob Costas with his massive pinkeye infection again it would be too soon.

OMG! I had forgotten about that.

Team USA Reportedly Opts for Luxury Cruise Liner over Olympic Village in Rio | Bleacher Report

That's one way around the subpar village... they should have taken all of USA's athletes with them.

Gross. I'd rather see a picture of Cheer Dad's "dogs" than that.

GASP! You said his name...now he's going to appear! Don't you know Cheer Dad is like Voldemort!

 

[SL&AM]

Doesn't he only appear when the word "dog" is said?
Besides, it's possible to find something cute about the creatures he posts. There isn't anything cute about Bob Costas and his eyes.

Bwahahaha

Time difference between Sweden and Rio is 5 hours, it's doable... especially if you work during the day (most events will happen in the later half of your day). London is 7 hours behind, which was a struggle for me but I managed, hahah... Rio virtually be impossible for me.

Ah ok I did not know that it was only five hours sorry. But then it will be more possible yeah. But still not really or only on weekends, because I work early on weekdays. I do feel sorry for you. Hoping you can catch some of it though.

I've come to accept that there's no way I'll be catching everything live like I was able to for Beijing and London, but I'm going to watch playbacks as if they were happening then (i.e. stay off social media to avoid spoilers).

I've basically set aside like two hours just to catch up everyday.

I suddenly need a lobster suit. Really jealous about all the Pokemon that guy has because my app reset and I lost all of mine :(

I will be staying up till 4am as that is when the opening ceremony finishes.
Many of the Athletics events start at 2am UK time

Love the Refugee team, and love the torch this year (inside the stadium). It's so beautiful!! Will spend the next few weeks holed up watching tv, flipping between Canadian, French (CBC) and American stations to get as much coverage as possible. :D

 

[Eyes On The Prize]

This (and the Tony awards) will be the only times I regret getting rid of cable.

Does Canada not broadcast certain stations over the air for free?
