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

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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

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!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

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.

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

"Mrmmpphmmrr!" the caption said, "?????" Awesome!

That was hilarious.

This is one of those eliminations where I totally empathize with the team -- I coudln't , if my life or even a million dollars riding on it, decode Morse code. I can't "hear" the differences, plus I can't even get more than four letters spelled out loud to me before I have to write them down. (Very VISUAL speller, me.) So even if I imagine myself on the show, I can't imagine doing any better than they did.

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, that Morse Code challenge was ridiculously hard. You would almost have to happen to have somebody on your team who already knew it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

This is not a naked cat, but I think it might be cuter!
