I watched it. He was most unpleasant.

What I found fascinating was his language - constantly manipulative and overly intimate. I was very impressed - in a horrified way - that he had incorported "point scoring" into almost every sentence he uttered. And he uttered them with such huge cojones that people found it hard to resist playing his games.

Part of me is almost jealous that he is able to do that. I don't think he's repentant at all - again, based on his language patterns.

I guess it encompasses my issues with all these "positive thinking" and "winner mentality" programs, yet I have to admit these have also helped me discover unhelpful patterns in my competition in sports which I can now work on.

Victoria Pendleton also mentions "there have to winners and losers" and that she's very self-critical, like any program, side-issues can arise. And I work with computers too much perhaps :P
