For your drinking game pleasure:
Sip every time they mention the Pooh-bears. (NBC seems to have latched onto that one.)
Sip every time they show back-stage warm ups.
Sip every time Andrea asks an awkward question of an emotional skater.
[EMTs on standby version only:] sip every time Tara or Johnny makes a forced reference to their own careers, chug when Terry prompts it.[/
And may I propose a drinking game for the rest of the festivities:
Whatever your beverage tonight/ this morning, have a small sip whenever:
- you want to tell your announcer "be quiet"
- your announcer says "He wants to do better"
- your announcer says "Olympic ice"
- the camera focuses on the top of their heads during spins
- you have to blink repeatedly and refocus on the skater when they go to an overhead shot and the glare of the arena light bar is reflected on the ice
-when the camera zooms in on the.. ahem, 'lower torso' area ...during a spin/ spiral/ lift.
- when the camera focuses on the skaters face while their body is doing something much more interesting.
Any others?
Between your game and mine we'll have thousands of toilets flushing around the world long before we get to the final flight!
