:O OMG! I forgot to watch!!! Isn't #5 coming up later tonight? Maybe I can catch a replay of #4...*runs to TV*...
Yeah, #5 is later tonight. I'm kind of getting sick of all of the coverage, and it's only day 4. Seriously I know his mom's and sister's names already (Debbie, Hilary & Whitney). |

That's why I've been watching most of it on the DVR. I wait 30 minutes to an hour after the coverage starts and ff. I, basically, only want to see the actual events and medal ceremonies. |

The coverage is a bit much but is to be expected. I'm not sick of him trying to do something really incredible.
I'll never come to your dark side Kristy!! Never!! ; ) |

| I watched an interview last night with the American relay team after they won Gold. I really don't get why some people dislike Phelps. Is it because of what he's accomplished? I don't think he's cocky at all. During the interview, he actually seemed really humbled and just like an excited 23-year-old who was thrilled to be in the situation he was in. I think he's inspiring. He's like a freakin' machine when he swims. He's the best Olympic athlete of all time now. I think that's awesome. |

Yeah, I agree. But, maybe we're a little biased because he's American...nah, we're not! |

Sure I'm more excited about it because he's American, but even if he wasn't, I'd still be cheering anyone on who was going to set a new Olympic record...no matter what country they were from. |

23 year olds in general tend to come off sounding arrogant whether they want to or not . |
