You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Bills just caught the ball on the 4 yard line, but it's under review by the officials.

ETA: incomplete play, so they're nowhere near the end zone. Damnit!

Bills just won! 60 Minutes is due to start in a few minutes, so TAR should be on by 8:15 (central time).

Wait, they don't get/have to actually ski?

Wow. Finally, Lance and Keri are gone.

(And I cannot believe the show started over an hour late.)

I wish that they had to ski. Oh well.

(Doesn't Dubai also have a tennis court on top of some skyscraper? I wish that they had had to play a game on that court.) Dubai is chockful of oddball things.

I hope that Marie and Tiffany are next. I had a crazy moment where I thought that Marie was going to do the water finding challenge but - what was I thinking? Of course, Tiffany did it.

Dubai is like the over-the-top Mary Sue of countries. If you can conceive it, they can probably make it happen. So long as you're a bajillionaire.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I probably shouldn't be astounded by the racers who thought "The Persian Gulf" was a country, but... WE'VE ONLY BEEN INVOLVED IN WARS THERE FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS. How dumb-ass-American can you get, anyway?

Good fakeout on going up The Tallest Building In The World, just to bunch 'em up and keep 'em on their toes. And how dumb-ass does Mika look, because if you've watched past seasons, sometimes half the challenges seemed to involve heights -- did she miss the ones where they rappelled down buildings? Walked out on catwalks over nuclear reactor stacks? Climbed cliffs?

Lance & Keri: in comparison to last week, this was a much-deserved elimination. And despite the fact that I found them pretty unpleasant, they weren't spending their screentime blaming each other for their screwups.

True, there is that.
