So the Frats or Terrence and Sarah Next and then the decision gets more difficult. Actually, if we get the elimination of T&S and the Frats then we'll have a final three of v. good teams.

On a completely shallow note: the shot of Dallas's arms when they were running with the local kids just took my breath away! Yum!!!

seriously! And then his mom talking about how proud she is of the man he's become made me tear up.

I don't really like the sibs but they are racing well and they seem to be having a great time.

I could get on board with the sibs a lot more if they would just freaking stop talking about how they "have a target on their back" and how people are "gunning for" them. Um, NO! Also, shut up.

I forgot to mention that also the power lines number judge guy was HILARIOUS.

Oh god yes. He might have been my favorite part of the whole ep.

Yes, he was EXCELLENT.

Hee. He totally rocked it! I loved him.

However, the rest of the show was hey, let's trample on other people's religions, so I was not at all sad to see the divorcees go. Their own stupid got them.

Team Your Cheating Heart has not grown on me, although D. likes them for helping the frat boys. (Who knows how long they'd have been there without the help?) I was still pissed at her for cursing at the revelers. (Although this was assuaged somewhat since I realized that she was not the one actually doing the challenge and just got caught in the periphery, which she acknowledged later.) C'mon people, get in the spirit of things. But then, I probably spend more of my time covered in paints and running around with a bunch of screaming people than most. So my tolerance level might be higher.

Terence was like that too, violently shoving people out of his way who were just standing there at that point. Asshole. He was just looking for a chance to do stuff like that. OH, and miss "no respect for the EXTREME SUFFERING he was witnessing," cry me a river. Did the fact that he was the boss not ping with you at all? That people do this all day every day for a living? Possibly it could trickle through your thick skull that your suffering is momentary and not everyone's is? Yeah, next off, please.

Still hate Nick & Starr and their "little white lies." Please. You're so transparent. Nobody cares about you! But it was smart of them to work together with Dallas & mom once they realized they were both on to it.

Speaking of whom, I think it's telling that they're having such a good time on their run. That they're the ones who are running along with the kids and just enjoying the heck of themselves. To see them interact with the people around them with respect is a refreshing change. And as a result, they have a better experience.

Tina definitely needs to get her bitchiness under control sometimes, as in the paint challenge, but I have to give Ken and Tina props for their attitudes when they did the water thing. They really got into it and enjoyed it, when it was the kind of challenge where some contestants would have been begrudging every person who came up to them for keeping them there.

the rest of the show was hey, let's trample on other people's religions, so I was not at all sad to see the divorcees go. Their own stupid got them.

I really liked that the challenge was basically "Whoever manages to not be a TOTAL ASSHOLE ABOUT THIS will win." The racers who ran through the crowd treating the revelers like enemy soldiers got pelted much worse than the ones who took it in stride. (Though I have to say, even knowing a little bit about Holi Day in advance, I'd still be pretty pissed off if someone threw paint in my mouth.)

eta: re, Ken & Tina.

Yeah, but even there it came off as a huckster style thing to me. See Ken's comment about not knowing it was holy water. It's definitely true about their attitudes, though, because I expected them to want fewer people, but they really did go at it wholeheartedly. And especially with it being their own super special challenge, they could have really been cranky about it but they weren't.

I was wondering what it was going to be after last week; I kept thinking about the pink goths' yoga challenge and picturing Ken & Tina having to do that. Hee.
