  2. 7 can’t complain with those numbers but I’m pretty sure they’ll start to slide once the swimming finishes.Woukd be interesting to see how the primetime rating’s for NBC are going.

    1. I wonder if that’s why the swimming finals start from 11am. It’s so strange that they aren’t in the night like all other competitions

      2. I’m loving the morning finals action. I record the swimming each morning, then when I get home from work I simply fast forward all the adds, commentator moments, other sports etc and just watch the key events. I’ve condensed the morning swimming action down to around 30 minutes. Thanks NBC!

  3. Great Survivor episode last night. Can’t wait for Sunday to come! Disappointed in Cheap Seats. Funny in parts but lost me again after half hour.

    1. I am of the same feeling about Cheap Seats, I love the first half hour until the guest panellists come out and then it loses steam and I switched off before the end.
