"You only see us laughing and playing around, but this is an awful place," says Bronwen, 34, in on pickpocketing charges and playing Chicago's prosecutor and detective. "The show takes my mind...
...climate of simmering international tension, the Olympics is losing its relevance; not even the pretence of using the Games for its original purpose, to promote accord between the people and countries of the world, remains.
