Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

See, I didn't really get that. No black and white good queen/bad queen, as far as I can tell.

I actually didn't mean that entirely negatively....

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Gotcha. Oh, the pesky lack of tone on the internet.

TAR: So do you think that Vyxin (Vyxyn?) - already has the killer fatigue?

Yeah, the poor girl just lost her mind.

Do we know if there are going to be non-elimination legs? Or is the season just longer?

OMG, Vyxin. Pull it together! The fact that her meltdown was practically EXACTLY like the one she had in her previous season in Italy makes me think that maybe she doesn't quite have the fortitude for the race.

It seems like whenever anything goes offtrack, she just spirals out of control and shuts down completely.

Also, from Hayden's review:

I missed their prior season, but here, Vyxsin has a remarkable meltdown while Kent showers the women he allegedly cares for with tender stony silences and lovingly passive-aggressive recrimination. A parallel is drawn for us of how they came to leave their prior Amazing Race.

So true.

After her navigating meltdown, I didn't understand why Kent didn't do the zodiac task. She obviously had passed her max ability to deal. (Yes, I know there was a plane ride and other travel between her two breakdowns...but still).

Yeah, it seemed odd to me that she was the one doing that task. She was clearly having a bad day.

And ho-BOY do I want Christina and her dad gone. They are horrible to each other. She is really grinding my nerves this race. What did he throw at the bus? And why do other teams like them?

I actually don't blame Christina for shutting down her dad- he can be absolutely HORRIBLE to her and just spin off in nasty epic proportions. I think she's figured out how to manage him, and I applaud it.

The question is, why on earth they decided to come back on the race to begin with.
