Totally agree with ya. I love watching the drama unfold as well as the surprises. To watch somebody who is totally not expected to rise to the moment get in there and totally kick ass is amazing ... wherever they are from. But hey, if you watch the American broadcasts EVERY SINGLE US ATHLETE has overcome some unbelievable odds, hardships, diseases, alien abductions, etc. Seriously, just watch their vignettes on their athletes (which is easy because they never cover anyone else!!! ).
