Shame on the commentators for claiming LD vs CL was not played for real

unfortunately i don't notice that at all, and i was paying extra attention to everything she says

but i agree that it is more fun watching two different countries competing for the prize. i do turn my attention elsewhere when it's chn vs. chn because either way, chn will win, and the variations of tactics is very similar within the same team.

 

probably you have similar mindset as her, thus you did not notice at all. it is normal.
