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

I always thought the U-Turn being non-elim was kind of a cop-out, so I'm as glad they've dispensed with that.

I agree, but...DAMNIT. For Joe and Heidi to be passed by two teams who are just barely literate is seriously frelled. I felt so bad for them.

Brandy and (?) made me wish they HAD done the Morse code. You go on the Amazing Race and expect not to get dirty? Hello? And only "stupid teams" take the physical task? Ummmm, you chose it too.

I kept confusing the models and the BB couple. Both teams were so whiny.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You go on the Amazing Race and expect not to get dirty? Hello? And only "stupid teams" take the physical task? Ummmm, you chose it too.

Ugh, right? STFU.

Oh yeah, that was out of control.

He's pretty funny and they are both generally good sports even if they are dumb as a box of rocks. The models are just super annoying.

I felt kind of bad for Joe & Heidi but, dag, did they come smug. Her thing about liking the models because they clearly came from "good families" like her and Joe from a past ep (last week? week before?)? What was that about??

Reading your posts makes me very comfortable with my decision not to watch this season.

There are two teams I actively love--the cops and the cowboys--so far at least. I don't know about the father/daughter team but they seem pretty okay.

And those are arguably the three strongest teams. (Or seem to be trending that way anyway.) I think we're still clearing the chaff.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah. I like how the detectives were physically tired by the task, too, but talked through the fatigue. I would definitely have tried the morse code one. I`m actually wanting to learn morse code. I have a sheet and downloaded practice files and everything, I just never have worked on it. Also I loved how everyone loved the baguettes.
