I don't remember her name or any of the details, but it was about the most dramatic thing I've ever seen at the Olympics.

Okay, but what does that have to do with ratings? Such things can't be known until people are watching and they happen. They really have no affect on the rating.

And, for the record, while compared to the rest of televsion, the ratings have been bad, it's the best ratings NBC has gotten in a long time. So this may just be a matter of NBC sucking wind.
