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!
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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.

Crap. I missed it.

Me too.

So aggravating. Survivor does the same thing.

Art Crawl!!!
It is, isn't it? I think that Top Chef is the same way.
But I agree - the couples I like all made it (and did well) and I'm very happy with the Philiminated couple. Also, the laughing yokels sucked.

Yay the internet! That was a great episode. Many teams seem competent and likable, so that bodes well.
What I don't understand is how those rickety things were the traditional cheese-carriers! And I liked that people made it work, even when it wasn't working. I heart Mel White.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
The out-of-shape couple were damn smart to use those carriers as sleds instead. They weren't so smart when they couldn't find the pitstop, though.
