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.

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

Oh yeah, that was out of control.

Punishingly Intricate

I can't help it, I still love Jeff. "Big Ben! Parliament!"

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.

The TAR crew are still on top of their game--when the woman from Team Big Brother was running out of the boulangerie with her mouth stuffed with baguette and said, "Mrmmpphmmrr!" the caption said, "?????" Awesome!

That had CJ and I rolling with laughter for a while and "Mrmmpphmmrr!"-ing at each other until I sent him to bed.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh yeah, that was great! I can just see the techs trying to figure out what she`d said and shrugging. I am hungry for good bread now and I`m out of white King Arthur flour. Tragic.
