MKFSfan said:It's the fact that she had been repetively asked about Michelle and she chose NOT to express sympathy, etc. She doesn't have to gush and praise Michelle by any means and appear fake. How hard is it to answer the question,"What would you tell Michelle if you could speak to her?" with a nice,"Feel bettter soon!" Her comment,"I know how tough it is to come back from an injury and get yourself together. It's great she tried, but things don't always work out." and the other comment (when asked if it was weird that Michelle was not competiting) "For me that was never an issue, it has been about my own performance. If I do what I am capable of, I would be very happy with the result. So it doesn't affect my approach." I dunno...she just seemed to avoid answering with any personal touch/emotions. That's all...
I think the U.S. really shot itself in the foot on that one.Joesitz said:I think the confusion is whether or not you believe that Team America is really a team or are the contestants just out for themselves?
It is the Olympics and for whatever reason it's a nationality race as well, and should the Team players be concerned about each other?
