That's the one. Some of the judging seemed a bit controversial to me, but perhaps that's just how I see it.

I missed most of it! I realized after I blurted a name that I shouldn't have. Obviously, we're not watching it at the exact same time, right? But it's over here now. Which part did you think was iffy?

Well, I think it was over here slightly before it was there. And for me, the wrong woman won! There wasn't an appropriate weight given to the difficulty of jumps, IMO...

I wondered about that. I was on the Canadian broadcast, and it seemed to me they went on a suspicious amount about how she really deserved it.

It was daylight robbery, I reckon... If I was Norwegian I would be burning the maple syrup warehouse down by now... ;-)

I had an evil thought for the Winter Olympics time... ET-Winter Olympics-irc... Truly a productivity killer...

Hmmm. Depends on your definition of productivity, no?

You have a definition which works in this case? I'd love to hear it!
