I bet the ratings for these games are gping to be terrible - seems little to no excitement around them.

Eli Manning and some women for commentators --- UGH! As for the show it self, very disappointing, turned the channel after 1/2 hour. In total, what a farce.

Peyton Manning? And Kelly Clarkson? Yeah, it's a weird duo - also, why is Snoop Dogg there? I loved the opening ceremony (so refreshing to not be in a giant, boring stadium) but I prefer the Winter Games as far as excitement/watching goes.

Disagree. While the parade of nations was different I didn’t like the boats at all. Very little back stories on the teams or individuals and hey look that barge has 3 small nations on it. 🙄 Lady Gaga was bad and like snoop why is she there? Yea I don’t like anything about it. You know it’s bad when you want Milke Tirrico to talk more🙀🤣

Lady Gaga sings a lot in French - so, maybe that’s why? Dunno. Worse than her was was very out of synch Can Can dancers; I’ve seen the Moulin Rogue in Paris three times and they’re never that off. Maybe it was the rain?

I only got to see parts of it while sitting in the ER. The boat thing was okay, though they could have put some countries on an inflatable raft towed by the previous boat. The fashion show was just weird, it would have been cool if they had Zoolander involved.

That Byonce thing before showing the USA boat is where they lost me. That **** ruins it for me.

First of all - FLAG!

Second - holy sh*t did Bey get racked up. Wow.




This should get any red blooded male ready to storm the shores of the Seine!

I still don’t know if I like Country Beyoncé but this works for me.

If there ever was a better time for a wardrobe malfunction to happen!!! If it did, poor BobPSU92 would be traumatized for life and also suffer from permanent damage of carpel tunnel syndrome in both wrists......

OK I'll say it. I'm too old to understand the artistic value of person with their nut sack hanging out and a fat naked blue guy sitting in fruit. But it's probably just me.

It’s “edgy” because the MSM is trying to make deviant lifestyles seem normal.

Honestly, I've seen worse at a frat party on a football weekend than what you just described above. :unsure:

Well, the opening ceremonies were a mess in a rainstorm and now they reveal the Olympic flame balloon they “lit” is actually fake. It’s 40 LED lights and water mist creating the appearance of a flame, not actual fire.

They spent months lighting the flame in Olympia, Greece and running it all around France, only to extinguish it at the biggest moment of the opening ceremony and fake it with LED lights.

You’re probably intimately knowledgeable about the director of the opening ceremony 🙄

He/She/Itt and even “Jesus Christ” could benefit from some Otezla 😳
