I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

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.

Tonight's TAR was terrific, and the promo for next week--yay for the return of the Swedish hay search !!!

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.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

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.

Yeah, last night was not her finest showing- but I really liked her at the start. I think she has succumbed to the Killer Fatigue (for a few weeks now). Him too. I did dig how fake-cheerful she was at eating the herring though.

Art Crawl!!!

Suzi - I loved that too!

It was very painful to watch the Poker Girls switch back and forth. I didn't like them - but that was a tough way to go. I also thought that it might have been a non-elimination leg.
