yes Phil was just adorable. That cheese challenge was a bear - especially with the locals laughing uncharitably. dang.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yeah, that locals kinda sucked. I'm good with the eliminated team, they would have annoyed.

Hate the blondes, glad the bickering team got eliminated.
So far, the top 5 or 6 couples I like. The deaf kid and mom, brother and sister, Mel and Mike, the stunt guys and the older couple.
I think the hicks are toast, of course I thought they were this time.

Thrive to spite them
I was so excited that Phil signed to the winning team! That's really cool and I'm glad that he did that.
I'm glad one of the bickering couples is out of the game early.
I kinda liked the regular cheese guys laughing. I was wondering what was going through their heads watching all these weird Americans.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
OMG, I love Phil. Love! Also, I thought it was sweet when the older lawyer brother wiped a tear from his eye for the deaf guy/mom couple. Aww!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of the new editing style. I want more travel and less challenge, not the other way around!
(And this is my first season watching in HD - is it really not broadcast in widescreen, or is there something wrong with my feed?)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Shit! I forgot this was tonight! I can find it on the interwebs, right??

Punishingly Intricate
That was a very satisfying elimination and # 1 team!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I forgot too, but thanks to Facebook and the glories of delayed West Coast airtimes, I got it. Tivo wouldn't have caught it because the seasons are all named with the number appended.
Yeah, I agree with lisah. We're off to a good start. So far like the deaf son & his mom, the stuntmen, the older couple. The various hot chicks teams are indistinguishable to me. And there isn't a fit young all male casting central team this season, is there?
That first challenge was crazy. Love the stunt dude totally not being scared at all.
Love love love for Phil signing the mat announcement. It's awesome, because it's information that would suffer from the deaf son hearing it later than his mom. They need to be able to learn it together, so it's super nice that Phil took the small amount of time necessary to make that happen.
It makes me feel a little hopeful about the season. I was worried about him when I heard that he didn't read lips, because there will be challenges where inevitably they're separated, and I hope he'll be able to communicate sufficiently alone.
