Also, even though they couldn't prove that the Angry Little Peanut farmed his construction out to others, he did go over budget and was forced to lose the hideous blonde wigs (and maybe something else?). So yeah, he was a cheater. Just like Kara Saun (as much as I loved her) and the "free" shoes. I was so Team Laura on that one.

Irina is not even an entertaining bitch in the way that Kenley or Wendy Pepper were. I don't love to hate her. She's just annoying. I will agree that this show has been sadly lacking in personality. Primarily, I think, because they kicked all of the interesting people off fairly early - Ra'Mon and Epperson were really good designers; Malvin and Ari were twelve different flavors of crazy, but would never have been boring; Qrystl was pretty much a bad designer, but she gave great quote. And all to keep around a bunch of young, mostly bland, mostly boring pretty people and Gordana (because Heidi needed a whipping girl). I have not wanted to give in to the Bunim/Murray hate, but it hasn't escaped me that the majority of the folks who stuck around for a long while would not be out of place in a Real World house.

It certainly is- and I would like to add that it's nice to not have any teams that suck (IMHO) and who are all generally decent folks and decent racers.

Because books.

The thing I love about the Globetrotters, the father and son, and the brothers is that they all seem to be having so much fun.

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

I wonder if this would have been a nonelim leg if the poker girls hadn't given up.

My husband said the same thing. Very glad they're gone.

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

Seeing them go back and forth between the challenges was painful. I kept hoping that the time difference between them and Ericka/Brian wasn't just editing voodoo.

And more with the driving themselves.

Oooh, the return of hayblock! Brutal.

I didn't even like the poker players, but what a heartbreaking way to go out. Hand to god, there's no way that I could've rung that bell or done that golf thing, either. I have no upper body strength to speak of. However, I would've recruited a nice lad from town to come and hit that bell for me. I think at worst they would've gotten a penalty, right? And probably still beaten Brian and Erica. And Brian, wow, that man is a saint. Miss America is unbearable.

I loved the Globetrotters saying that they may not remember other folks names, but Brian's name would be hard to forget due to the number of times they have heard her whine it at him.
