Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think they thought they could carry the girls forward and beat them at the end.

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

They did the math on the gold challenge.

'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"

The Globetrotters can sure RUN, though -- they caught up with the brothers from how far away?

Matt and Gary may not have won, but they played a clean competitive race with grace and good sportsmanship. They'll probably end up on my Top Ten Favorite Racers list.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I was unclear where the Globetrotters indignation was coming from. Did they think the brothers should have stepped aside for them? That walkway really did not look wide enough to pass on. I thought it was pretty ugly on both sides, but the overall attitude of the brothers is stinky. The blonds were at least editted to appear to have had a much better attitude in the volleyball.

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

I thought the Globetrotters felt the brothers just elbowed him intentionally and that he was just trying to pass. There was room for there to be a "passing" lane.

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

It looked pretty narrow to me, but I don't think anyone was intentionally pushed. I think the brothers just have a bad attitude - they've been pissed at the Globetrotters for several legs now, basically for doing well in the race.

Survivor is kicking some ass this season. Hidden idols woo!

Doing well in the race right next to them!

Seriously, the nerve of some people.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

LOVING this season of Survivor. Scheming and game-changing plays and interesting personalities.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Given the previews for next week, I am strongly suspecting that that the brothers are just assholes.

This cannot be said enough. On the whole, I thought both the Globetrotters and the Brothers acted poorly last night, as is often the case in these late leg dust ups where everyone is suffering from KF. But since I like the Globetrotters better and they have so far been purely delightful, I'm more inclined to cut them some slack and think about the long leg, how tired they must have been after playing volleyball in that sticky, nasty mud, how tired they must be generally from being so close to the end, the general attitude they've been getting from Sam and Dan (and even a little from anonymous blond couple) lately, etc. The brothers, on the other hand, have no such store of good will.

I'm so sad to see Pinky and the Brain go. They really had a chance to catch up this leg because that speed bump was the epitome of lame, but alas, they were unsuccessful. I feel like I still don't know anonymous blond couple despite the fact that they have been kicking ass almost the entire race. Miss America was better last night. I cringed when I saw her go in to take the road block, but she came out fine and she took her fair share of turns at the radish shooting. Of course, I'm rooting for a Globetrotters victory, but if one of the other teams won, it wouldn't be a Freddy/Kendra style disaster.
