Girls gone Wild

I don't understand why so many people dis synchronized swimming. It's not that different from dance or gymnastics floor exercise, except it's ten times harder. Maybe the faces and exaggerated gestures look a little goofy when cameras get close, but they're necessary when viewing from a normal distance to accentuate the moves. I suppose a lot of people just don't understand how difficult this is.
Hey, do me a favor and watch this Spanish team do their routine to Led Zep. See if you can understand what an incredible accomplishment this is.

Yeah, they really are in sync when performing, but it takes a LOT of work to get the timing tjust right.

Yes, that was very good. Great choreography and well performed.

Now add a team of competitors that are trying to drown the performers.
Survivors will then eligible to try out for Freshman water polo.

Losers (after resusitation) will join the Women's Beach Volleyball team

Considering how long some of them were underwater, the Freshman water polo team would get killed.

Director: 1, 2, 3, 4 - here it goes. This is like a mirror between you, and then he goes this way, and then let's say you were to point at each other. You're doing the same thing, aren't you? No, you're not angry at him..

Gerald: No, I'm not.

Director: No, you're just pointing at him. "Hey, you! I know you! I know you!"
