And yet, even without the clues being Actual Clues, so many teams manage to screw up. Perhaps there is a limit to how sadistic the challenge creators want to be....
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

We were waiting for our dinner reservation last night, and some loud guy walks by to talk to the hostess. He was sort of a jerk, really hyper and loud, but he looked familiar. I thought I knew him from my old job (which was populated with jerky, loud people). But my son kept tapping me on the shoulder, finally he leaned down and said "Mom, mom, mom!!!! That's Joe of Joe and Heidi from TAR" and so it was. So my Mom's Day included a semi-celeb sighting and then sadness that the Cowboys didn't win. I really loved the Star Wars challenge (Jet: "will these guys talk to us?" Cord: "no they're stormtroopers" HA!)

Sadly, there are not normally stormtroopers standing by the Yoda fountain. Otherwise, I would go there far more often.

If there were stormtroopers there, my son would insist on living there. So I'm very thankful of that.

I loved it when Cord asked one of the stormtroopers if he wanted to open the clue. The ST just waved his hand in denial.
I love those cowboys--they might be my favorite team ever.

Yeah, I saw that--and does that mean no Mia choreo at all?? That sucks--much as I have disliked some of her pieces, for sure, I've also really loved some of her pieces.

I would think that it has to, unless she sits out a week. I am disappointed. I generally don't like contemporary, but her stuff is usually amazing. I like Sonia, but she's very uneven. It seems like it's amazing or schlock.
