I went to the hockey game in my Alexander McQueen stilettos

I was doing so well! I was so close to making it through the entire Olympics without seeing Tanya Kim, Jeanne Beker, Leah Miller, and Ben Mulroney. I had been doing so well I was actually a gold medal hopeful for evasion of annoying TV personalities. I think I may still be in contention for a silver or a bronze though.

All joking aside, I really wish CTV hadn't brought them along for the ride. Beker's fashion interviews are an insult to the time, dedication, and talent of these Olympians. Leah Miller seems to be the only one out of the awful foursome that knows anything about hockey, which has slightly redeemed her in my eyes. She is the best looking of the four as well.

But come on CTV! Why? I would much rather watch interviews like the one I am watching right now with Sidney Crosby's family. Sure, it's kind of pointless drivel, but it's better than finding out what Maelle Ricker thinks about fashion (which, by the way, is not much - she got majorly cornered by Beker).

What I will give CTV props for, though, is the clips they have with the physiologist explaining the impact of the various sports on the athletes' bodies. I may be biased as a Kine student, but I think that that is a great addition to the Games.
