Light the ceremonial torch and start commentating from the couch... it's time for more of our Olympic vibes. We discuss: cameramen being given an official warning for the angles they are recording female athletes, the beach volleyballers uniforms looking a little different this year (which has upset the pervs), and whether or not we should applaud athletes who soldier on through injury.
Plus, we unpack the unexpected tale of a woman who wants to charge another woman for hosting her kid for a playdate at her house... but not all is what it seems.
And, is hiring a professional bridesmaid sad as hell, or a feminist act? We have some thoughts.
