actively against the cheerleaders now. the blonds were such a better all girl team.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I do worry that if Mel and Mike make it to the final four, they'll get held up by the inevitable extra-physical task that awaits them (see: the Bowling Mom rope climbing up that cliff in the Phillipines--watching Colin smoke past her was so sad).
Speaking of suffering from physical tasks, I'm now worried about Maggie next week!

I am not in love with mom and son. The two sisters might be growing on me a bit, but they have been by far the most boring and under-developed storywise.

ESPECIALLY when the alternative involves a needle-in-a-haystack search!

Me too.
