Opening ceremony tonight, from 6.30pm on BBC2. Surprised it’s not on BBC1.

@Raahh exactly, I was just thinking the same thing. I don’t mind a drop of Mariah but she ain’t Italian

EchoedSilence · 06/02/2026 19:17

Sounds like a John Lewis Christmas advert.

Oh fabulous! Tears here

Same. I love Mariah.

Raahh · 06/02/2026 19:18

Eek! That squeaky note.

Fleurhi · 06/02/2026 19:18

@Silverbirchleaf I'm watching it now. Thanks.

We’ve been watching the team figure skating today , opening and closing ceremonies are not really my thing . Discovery + has a far superior olympics coverage than the BBC

That’s because TNT and Discovery bought the rights.

I think I want the colourful dancers and musical notes back

Hedjwitch · 06/02/2026 19:18

Her face is expressionless.

FuzzyPuffling · 06/02/2026 19:18

When you sing that high Maria, only dogs can hear you.

RafaistheKingofClay · 06/02/2026 19:18

What was that note, Mariah?

PermanentTemporary · 06/02/2026 19:18

Was feeling a bit concerned about Claire B earlier, she sounded like she had a dreadful cold. Though I’d imagine she’s the sort to hit her mark and say the lines while elbowing a waiting Hazel Irving out of the way with her IV drip.

Davros · 06/02/2026 19:18

She looks totally rigid, face and body

What is JJ Chalmers? I don’t dislike him but one minute he’s a sports presenter, the next he’s fixing furniture in that auction programme

APP - All Purpose Presenter.

(I quite like him really)

Thanks for the thread, I was hoping there’d be one. Currently listening to Mariah C communicating via batsqueak

Her face is expressionless.

As well as the surgery I think she spends quite a lot of time sedated. It's amazing she can sing at all.

I wonder how much it cost to have a lipsynching Mariah for this ceremony 😂

EchoedSilence · 06/02/2026 19:19

That's more like it. Big heads disco dancing.

Raahh · 06/02/2026 19:20

I think these big heads have more movement than Mariah's did.

Two groats and a chicken.

Big Heads gonna Big Head

mumofoneAloneandwell · 06/02/2026 19:21

😅 thanks @alcoholicantibiotic

it’s bonkers, this opening ceremony

Raahh · 06/02/2026 19:21

I must admit, I was far more moved by Celine at the Paris Olympics, than Mariah .

At least Celine had a reason to be singing in French.

FuzzyPuffling · 06/02/2026 19:21

I need that laughing reaction back for all your splendid witticisms.

BassinBas · 06/02/2026 19:22

Aren't the Big Heads an Italian carnival thing? I mean it's not just random.
