Okay, I forgot to check what was happening on CBS the hour before TAR so tivo missed the elimination. Who was eliminated?

I am having also having a hard time keeping these teams straight.

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

That was an excellent leg. Good challlenges, no atrocious behavior (African babies aside) and most of the teams are really growing on me.

I think African baby girl is deeply, deeply sheltered in a harmful way. She seems like there could be more to her with a little life experience though. And she was very entertaining on the mat. ("Any news! Before I have a heart attack and die! OH! Has that happened?!)

The tattoo couple are the only ones I'm liking less than I had hoped.

Man, am I the only one relieved by that elimination? I was kinda uncomfortable by that- seemed exploitative and really really weird to me.

Yeah. I think that's a good result - it would be awful to see race meltdowns fucking with such a delicate situation. The time in sequesterville (with the fun guys from last week et al) will likely do them way more good.

I had the same reaction. They seemed to be doing fine but. Yikes. The potential for awkward was very high.

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

You all might have heard of the "it gets better" project which was unveiled last week as a response to the prominent gay teen suicides in September.

GLB (and allies I think) prominent people, etc. have been filming spots for it and here is Tim Gunn's:

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Tim Gunn is the awesomest.

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

Survivor - Did a one-legged woman run over Nay's puppy or something? She seems to have an unreasonable amount of hostility going on there, and I can't figure it out!
