Giving in 

Pressure is never so high that you have to give in to it.
Tough love was their way of saying it was fighting and not giving in that kept people going.
Tokyo isn't going to make or break Simone Biles. She was already the gymnast most considered the greatest before Tokyo, and she will be around a long time after Tokyo, she doesn't need more medals to prove or back up anything at this point. It's really nobody's decision to make but hers whether to do an event. Tough love won't change that, but it can wake somebody up. Fighting is what got them the gold medals.
Tokyo is one event of many over a lifetime.

Giraffe in the room 

Something people will talk about longer than a giraffe's neck.
People could keep pretending not to notice the giraffe in the room, but at some point Dewey Cox was going to bring it up and it would be unavoidable.
Something most people try to avoid being due to a lack of trust for Mr. Clean.
Mr. Clean had no friends once he became Mr. Clean.
Someone people don't think is an idiot.
People didn't think Mr. Clean was the brightest light in the hall. He was stating the obvious by bringing up people's suspicions about the cheater, which wasn't going to be a popular move, right or wrong. It was something nobody wanted done.
Someone people like and trust. People like their bullshit up front.
People would like that guy if cheated more. People like a cheater, they don't like Mr. Clean too much.

Toledo panic button 

The one that if someone presses it right, and the partner doesn't die, they never have to come up with a Fort Wayne Panic Button or a Flint Panic Button. If you tried to do it with someone you didn't trust though, at least one person could die.
These two guys doing the Toledo Panic Button didn't seem too trustworthy, so the new guy declined when they asked him if he wanted to do it, even if they thought he was a bitch for it.
