Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Have I mentioned how Mel White is my favorite? Because really.

I am bummed out that the stuntmen squeaked it out again -- at least the flight attendants have been both up and down!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

The airport was a non issue, because they all had to take the same flights.

Oh, and I even don't hate Victor anymore, now that he's relaxed and having fun!

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

Yeah, I wish the blondes had been able to make up a little more time against the stunt men. Oh well!

Yeah, I would have loved to see the all female groups last longer.

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

actively against the cheerleaders now.

Seriously.

I want the top three to be Victor and his sister, the mom and deaf kid, and Mike and Mel. The stuntmen are useless but the cheerleaders are the only ones I'm actively disliking right now.

It's a pretty good selection left, though -- hateful cheerleaders and basketball players, both all-female, and two parent-child teams, which I think is pretty impressive itself. Then the sibling lawyers and the stuntment, and that's it, right?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I think so. And I'm mostly okay with it, other than not liking the cheerleaders. I like the stuntmen. I think they bumble along, but they seem good natured and don't complain. Victor's better, but I think he hasn't been tested again. I would like to see him actively treat his sister better.

Mel is love. So I agree I'd like to see them at the top and the deaf family. I think I might like to see the stuntmen in that top three too. But I wouldn't quibble over any of the others other than the cheerleaders.

We had a wind power outage for about twelve minutes, so we saw the beginning, but missed the middle with the crying.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, yeah, and agree that you always choose the humiliation task. It's invariably easier than the opposite.

Oh! And how much do I love that Mel brought them in second because of the power of his brane! He read the clue, he paid attention, he didn't just look at what the other teams were doing. He was exhausted, but he didn't slip in concentration and he wailed on them!
