Seen on an Olympics commercial ...

"Tonight, will Shawn Johnson become the next Mary Lou?"

... oh, hey, no pressure or anything!

Now I've got this mental image of Mary Lou taking the time between every set to talk to the cameras, give shout outs to the fams and tell us how she rolls.

AWESOME.

Bwah? It would be nice if she won the all-around; who on earth expects her to get a perfect score?

I was hoping they just meant that maybe she might be the first since Mary Lou to win the gold but then I checked and no, Carly Patterson won the all-around four years ago. So, yeah, if they're implying she might get a perfect score ... really, no pressure!

They've been talking about her like this for weeks, actually. It's very annoying. Poor Shawn. And of course, they've had Mary Lou up for several interviews, too. *eyeroll*
