i mentioned this in another group, but i kind of found it interesting having recently seen the episode Tazusa goes throught e press conference ordeal & watching Michelle Kwans press conference in real life. The reporters weren't antagonistic like the anime, but all us watching it though the reporters were idtiots. How often did they have to basically ask the same question? & the question asked near the end that had Michelle eyes start welling with tears, we were like geeze, that was pretty mean of the reporter. Duh, I think it's pretty obvious how she'd feel about this. I felt the whole affair was pretty unnecessary.
As for Pete surviving, I'd like to say not, but strange freak things have happened.
