Now someone tell me why the hosts unfailingly describe in detail what you are about to see in the Opening Ceremonies? Is it for all the blind people watching on TV? Why can't they just describe it as it happens ... or, hell, the blind won't know ... 10 seconds after?

Why is it always 10 seconds before, they tell you exactly what's about to happen??? I don't see the ratings advantage.
Simple arrogance. They want to demonstrate to you that they have superior inside knowledge, just to make sure you know they're better than you.

...Or something.
