Who are the apologists for Olympia?
I have not seen anyone who doesn't think it's terrible.

I don't think any of those are "apologists". I don't doubt that Olympia can sometimes win, and that a good player will achieve this more than a bad player,
but its still the worst wonder, at all player counts.
You said "I have not seen anyone who doesn't think it's terrible."
In this thread there are humans who consider it "not terrible" (page 1 says enough).

I don't think Olympia is that bad. It's hard for 3p, but
going 4p and up it's not even the bottom wonder.
Opinions apparently are different.
I personally think that people defending the New Olympia just have a slight tendency of getting luckier than others; or maybe they have an unlucky Alexandria B in the game - another fallen Angel of this "extremely improved Ed.".
My opinion: it's more than terrible; it's like a Razzie Wonder Awards Winner.
And I don't think the one(s) who handled this 2nd. Edition were thinking straight.
Sorry... but that's the truth.
