Okay, so I watched it last night. I don't know why I did. I guess nothing else appealed to me.

I knew it would be corny and that I would not tell anyone that I watched it.

But, you know what? I really enjoyed it. I was so surprised.

I liked most of the constestants and enjoyed their back stories. The MC is okay, too.

I'm fairly good when it comes to diving off the side of a pool....but who isn't? Put me 33 feet above the water and I won't even come close to jumping, much less diving. These people did amazing jobs with their dives. Of course, they won't be going to the Olympics but they overcame some fear and did well.

Seriously, one fellow weighs 400 pounds and he did a good job. He's a commedian and I just smiled every time he was on camera because he just beams with happiness. I hope he continues to do well.

I've always liked Greg Louganis. I thought he was a cute kid back in the day. He has really grown up to be a handsome, well-spoken guy. So, I enjoyed what he had to say.

In short, it's a fairly good show. I'm glad I watched it and I plan to watch it next week, too.

I enjoyed it as well. I love watching the Olympic diving comps so I just had to tune in.
Didn't think Keshia deserved to be eliminated though. She is a beautiful young lady and her dive was really good.
That dude who is a skier--he tripped me out Such a dare devil. Love it!
And 65 year old Kareem--wow.
Louie Anderson is the obese comic. He did ok.

The scoring sucks-which is why Keshia got sent packing.

Why didn't all the contestants dive??? I was confused bout that

I think the others will be diving next week. When they weed out a few more I think we will see the remainder fit into one episode.

Keshia was robbed. The beauty queen should have gone home. Keshia is a class act. I'm glad you watched, Pippy. Now I have someone to discuss it with.

Hmm, the promos leading up to the show turned me off, maybe I'll give it a try based on your Splash peeps reviews.

^^I didn't watch it either for the same reason. Guess I'll OnDemand it and watch it since it's getting favorable reviews. Setting the DVR to "record series".

I DVRed it but haven't been able to watch yet. I was thinking Kareem was a little too old for this. Hitting that water wrong can break bones.

IMHO no one should hve been eliminated until everyone had competed. Makes no sense.

My kids did swimming & diving so we tuned into watch I have to agree with judges Keshia didn't go up a level in the dive off so she wasn't trying to advance. Was her dive better than the other girl's? Yes but she essentially did the same dive as her first dive.

Takes a lot of guts to expose yourself like Louie did was glad to watch as to support him as well as the other ones.

I agree nobody should have been sent home until they all have dived.
