...there's one thing more unsettling than a bunch of contestants dragging cameras to skid row as they vie for a book deal and TV pilot, it's seeing their responses critiqued as if they were singing a Christina Aguilera song ("You call that a speech?"). Messengers, to be fair, is self-conscious about that: in one scene, a homeless woman lectures TLC's cameras, "This ain't no damn zoo. These are human beings." She's right. This is possibly the best-intentioned--and creepiest--TV show you will see this year...

...anticipating a U.S. win. The American fans got a good rhythmic chant going before the game started, (not the usual U-S-A) and sounded absolutely patriotic during the playing of the national anthem. That is to say, they actually sang the words - must have been a well-educated bunch - and produced a massive American flag. It was, in fact, quite moving.
