Toronto, Canada	It's seriously pissing me off that I have already heard the results before I get to see it. Grr. I wish I could have been home for them this year. Oh well... I'll be staying up late to watch it and cheering on Canada and the US.

Some days they go for 3 hours in the morning and some days they decide to go 9am-2pm. Some days Cricket pre-empts the coverage. Some days they decide to air Ellen & The View and some days they don't. WTH? C'mon Channel 9! If you are going to cover the Olympics - do it all the way or not at all!
