PR - What crack are the judges smoking????
So apparently what they want this season is something boring pretty and wearable, except when they don't because "wearable" is a dirty word and not fashion-forward. WhatEVER.
I mean, I had to rewind to make sure I hadn't misheard when Heidi announced who the highest and lowest scores were. It just made no sense to me.
The problem with watching Ken Burns'
The National Parks
is that now I want to go to all of them, even the ones I've already seen, which are:
Arizona: Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, Saguaro
California: Yosemite, (and come November) Joshua Tree
Montana: Glacier, Yellowstone
New Mexico: Carlsbad Caverns
Texas: Big Bend
Utah: Arches, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Zion
Wyoming: Grand Teton, Yellowstone
Oddly, I haven't been to any east of the Mississippi. Favorites are probably Zion and Glacier. I was pleasantly surprised by Big Bend.
Parks I most want to visit:
Alaska: Denali
California: Channel Islands, Death Valley, Redwood
Colorado: Mesa Verde
Hawaii: Hawaii Volcanos
Oregon: Crater Lake
I guess it’s good I live in California now.
Amazing Race: I keep wanting to call the brothers Sam and DEAN. Oops.
I'm sad about the elim. I liked that couple.

Hah, totally.
Why couldn't the lawyers have had one more breakdown/fuck up? That would have made me much happier. But to have only one team I actively dislike at this stage is pretty remarkable.
I was sure the Lawyer was getting the Loser edit. Maybe the producers just don't like him any more than we do.
So close to being rid of the asshole lawyer. Bleagh. If only that couple hadn't picked the needle in the haystack + word scramble task. Once the lawyer and the poker players are gone, I'll be pretty much OK with everyone else.
I love the Amazing Race. I also love the dance shows, like SYTYCD, SYTYCDC, & Dancing with the Stars.
However, tonight, I am watching something so very Canadian, and so very cheesy, & so very wrong it is right. I know there was a Stars on Ice in the UK, but this is Battle of the Blades! Figure skaters teamed up with hockey players! Doing pairs routines! I don't know if I'm proud of or appalled by my country!
Oh my god! It's a real life The Cutting Edge. I think if I saw that, I might die and go to cheesy pop culture heaven. Tell me that either DB Sweeney, Moira Kelly or Roy Dotrice are somehow involved with this show. Tell me that at some point, someone said "Toe pick!"
I was also very disappointed that the incredibly stupid Lawyer and partner didn't get eliminated.
And with the poker players: why was Tiffany doing all the moving of the animal statue in the detour? Makes no sense.
I so hoped that just smashing up the dvd player wouldn't get Lawyer the clue. . . maybe the clue keeper was also sick of him and wanted him out of her sight.
And with the poker players: why was Tiffany doing all the moving of the animal statue in the detour? Makes no sense.
Because they have those ridiculous rolling suitcases rather than backpacks like sensible people who know something about how TAR works. So Maria wound up having tho wheel both suitcases through Ho Chi Minh City while her partner was left to push the statue alone. Stupid poker players.
As for the lawyers, I was hoping that they'd never figure out the bullet clue.
