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.
Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh, yeah, and agree that you always choose the humiliation task. It's invariably easier than the opposite.
ESPECIALLY when the alternative involves a needle-in-a-haystack search!
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
Me too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of suffering from physical tasks, I'm now worried about Maggie next week!
Is that her name? You mean the mom, right? At least it looks like she faints on the mat at the end of the leg.
I'm pretty sure there's no way Mel and Mike can actually win, due to the physical-task factor, but still.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, we were talking about it in our house. That task the stuntmen chose was a) physical, b) navigation (which is where I thought they'd mess up), and c) needle in a literal haystack. Those are all usually killers.

The only reason they weren't eliminated was the Speed Bump - the blondes were right on their heels coming up to the mat.

Sorry, I meant Marge, not Maggie! (They've got four letters in common--I got confused.)

Oh yeah -- I couldn't bring up what her name was, but Maggie felt wrong. Margie, Maggie, pretty much the same.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My brain was apparently trying to split the difference because I'd originally read it as "Margie" which didn't look quite wrong enough for me to notice!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I already have huge prior love for both Whites and had been all bummed that I missed out on the start of TAR. I'm so happy to know they're still in it!

My housemate and I were talking over much of TAR. Did the cheerleaders do something particularly obnoxious this episode?
