Unbelievable?

Last night I watched some NBC Olympic coverage of the figure skating. I noticed that a female sports correspondent that was talking during the Chinese figure skating had a bit of repeated wording. This lady said, "unbelievable", twice in about a minute, and then said incredible. Incredible is the definition of unbelievable.

She was saying unbelievable after this female skater fell on the ice, but I thought it was very believable. It would have been only appropriate for that commentator to say unbelievable if her head popped off her torso when she fell. I don't know why the NBC director wouldn't have pulled her off the air after repeating the same word three times within a couple minutes. It seems most people in the media don't have a clue how to speak English correctly!

After the female skater fell she began to personally debate if she should continue on or not. I thought that she better keep on skating, because it would be believable for her to go from Italy to an underground torture chamber in China for making China look weak.
