Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

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

As much as I reallyreally hate Lance, I did laugh when he was wandering in the desert, muttering, "Let's do the Amazing Race! It'll be fun!!!"

'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 think I would have "started" the find-the-snowman challenge just to ride the sleds down, then bypassed the snowpiles and gone directly to the snowman building, because "finding" tasks can work out spectacularly badly, historically. But I wouldn't have wanted to miss the slopes in Dubai!

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

Seriously. More reasons why J and I would never be picked for the race I suppose.

All in all, I've been supremely uninterested in this season.

On the other hand, I am loving Next Iron Chef.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I was really surprised how many people picked that one first. And laughed and laughed when the Globetrotters just walked up and picked up the snowman!

And I loved their chest-bump when they came in second.

Poker girls luck turned their way once again, because we know that it can take hours sometimes to get a spare car given to you. Maybe it WAS hours, but it sure didn't seem like their level of fret was that high.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

TAR: OMG "I have an excuse because I'm an Asian woman driver" WTF?!!?? Seriously? Seriously!

Loving the Globetrotters so much. I was shouting at all of them, never take the needle in a haystack tasks. But they always do.

Also, those were some lame ass snowmen. I'm just saying, has no one built a snowman before? Roll it up, peoples, roll it up.

The Miss America knew that the tallest building in the world was in Dubai straight off.

Glad to see Lance gone, but they did okay, and I'm glad they didn't blame each other during their failure. Although I was telling the SO it was clear for a while that they were last, so I think they had time to come to terms with it.

Right there that made me happy they came out on top. (Discounting the FF team.) They're kind of growing on me, really.

They are definitely growing on me. I liked his nicknames for the other teams -- Malibu Ken and Barbie is the only one I remember.

I don't even know.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I didn't even hear that remark!
