Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Interesting -- this week's Guide to Style has a woman with a metric shitload of clothes, and some of them are good, but a lot of them need tailoring.

And I am once again obsessed with Celebrity Rehab. Nikki McKibben is really getting to me in the last episode -- she's clearly detoxing so bad, but is really trying to stay engaged and look pleasant and whatnot. In general, I think I feel worse for the American Idol kids, because they got some level of fame, but never any real success.

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

Seriously. What a douche.

And WTF was up with Starr criticizing the Desperate Ex-Housewives for their clothes when she was wearing A SPORTS BRA AS A SHIRT?

Right now I'm rooting for Tony & Dallas.

Art Crawl!!!

Yes - to both those things.

Also: Tony & Dallas.

So three things.

I like the new NEL thing. (This is slightly different than last season, right?)

Last season was the first time they did the speed bump. I remember Kynt and Vyxen doing yoga, but I can't recall the other one from last season. I like it SO much more than the taking away all the possessions and then we have to watch people begging for money.

Yes, the Speed Bump is by far the best NEL twist they've come up with.

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

Definitely.

Although, on the money question, I do remember thinking last night that it would be nice if they had to guard their money a little better so that the question of making your driver wait, for example, was something you really had to think about. Or taxi v. train v. running, etc., if they ever even let people decide these things anymore.

(Why you would ask a driver who got you hideously lost and clearly is totally unfamiliar with the part of the city you're in is a different question, of course.)

I was thinking the same thing - it's been a while since we've seen a team run out of money!

And also a YES to letting teams decide on their own form of transportation. Making those decisions is supposed to be a part of the race!

That would definitely make things more interesting. And would kind of mitigate the overwhelming advantage of being in superior physical shape.
