Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
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.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Remember that this is the same group of people who just last week couldn't recognize a photo of Jackie freaking Kennedy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, this leg they seemed to get over trying to win and seemed like they were having a better time with each other, so that's something. Although he still wanted to kick the snowman! He's not right.

I was happy to see the teams do their own driving. And getting lost. Ahhh, good times.
