Yeah, I was actually not too sad to see them go, because biffing that challenge was definitely elimination-worthy.

Agreed, Nora. That was some KILLER fatigue, though their good attitude about it just underlined how great a team they were.

Sam and Dan just continue to cement my dislike for them. And karma needs to come back and SMACK them in the tush.

While I will admit the blonds have played well, I couldn't even tell you the girl's name or spell "Shane".

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Y'all, I just saw a commercial for the latest Bravo PR rip off, Launch My Line, and Dan Karaty of SYTYCD fame (as a judge)/infamy (as a choreographer) is going to be a contestant on the show. The mind reels.

I really wanted the brothers to have to redo their golem for the broken arm. Bah.

Yeah, WTF, rabbis?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Oh, Globetrotters. What a way to go. That is some killer fatigue for you right there. Loved that they stayed so positive towards each other to the bitter end. I don't know that I've been this sad for a team to go out before final 3 since the Clowns.

I guess I'm going to have to root for the anony-blondes because the brothers and Miss America are insufferable. I was praying for that golem to come to life and beat the shit out of the brothers. Ugh. Cannot stand them. And I just don't understand what exactly it is that Miss America can actually do. She can't be in the cold - no sub-zero rooms or making snowmen for her. But she also can't be in the sun because chocolate melts, right? She can't do any task that requires actual thought and concentration, but she also can't do physical tasks. She can't stand other teams who race dirty, but she reserves the right to race dirty herself - except she can't because she and poor, long suffering Brian kind of suck and are always at the back of the pack. Just, ewww. No. For a season where I really didn't actively dislike all that many teams, we sure have wound up with a suck ass final three. I can't imagine how the bland blondes don't take the whole thing.

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

I do not care to the point that I am taking it off the season pass and probably will not watch the finale.

'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"

At this point I'd watch out of a sense of completeness.

Megan (the blonde half of the Blandies) showed some smart moves last night, what with memorizing the letters and figuring out the best way to move the golem... plus she figured out the "secret word" in, what, two tries?

I loved Brian cracking about "pretty good for being drunk!" after he passed the Kafka test.

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

I support msbelle's sentiment, but I'm going with Theo in action. I'm pretty terrified of the notion that the brothers might very well win and I absolutely cannot stand them. It isn't at a Flo level, but I have a serious hate on for them.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yeah, that bit with not helping with the word after accepting help with it really sealed my dislike for them. There's a difference between being a smart player and being a total douche.

'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"

Agreed -- that's a dick move.

The thing is... you can totally win this game without any resorting to dickery. Any dickishness you perpetrate is completely your fault.

I feel sure there's a life lesson in here somewhere....
