The commentators should be alright as they are part of the ABC radio 'Grandstand' team and are very highly respected sports commentators and journalists.
The hosts are a different story. From what I've heard they haven't been taking the whole thing very seriously at all and also have been making some smart**** comments at times.
I think most people would be switching off thanks to that.
Australians can be rather irreverent though. It's not considered as offensive here as in many other countries but it can grate after a while when some take it a little too far.

The Irish guy that won the 100m is legally blind. I take my glasses off and I'm completely ****ed. He was only a second off bolts time.

I've had them on as back ground noise as I study but find I spend a lot of time getting up and watching. These folks are amazing the way they have to fight some really intense afflictions while they race each other. One girl in the velodrome had to fight off what looked like a fit at full speed and then went on to win a medal.

If these buggers can run faster than I can, swim better than I can, lift heavier weights than I can, why the hell do they need to park closer to Coles than me?

Loved the Para Closing Ceremony and it ran a close 2nd to the Oly OC, and crapped all over the other two ceremonies IMO.
