Fortunately fairly short commercials, and they were even nice enough to recap what countries came in during.

Only on M, yikes and what is with the people in white outfits trying to dance. Looks like Harper was the creative director. Cirque du Soleil, where are you when we really need you?

The songstress who sang the Canadian anthem was amazing. It was a breath of fresh air after the dull march of the RCMP....

Hey guys - watching from Kelowna on CTV and here the signal has a fair amount of "digital disruptions" [ watching on anolog though ]...wondering if it is the Shaw feed or is CTV royally screwing the broadcast - it is damn annoying.

Otherwise, loving it!

I think they are 'crowd control' ushers to get the athletes moving in the right directions.
