The Fogels are annoying me. Especially since they pray for their competition. That's just weird. I love the Hanlons. Glad they're still in the game.

The funny thing was the prayer they did wasnt even for their competition. The lady was like "thanks for getting us this far even though we dont have anything more than the rest of them"...um how is that praying for your competition...I hate when religious people try to cover up their bad actions with prayer

Not exactly. Public prayer for the purpose of being seen by others is condemned. The admonition in the Sermon on the Mount to pray in private is preceeded by: "Beware practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. . . . And when you pray, do not stand like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others."

Query whether praying in your car is public praying, even if you know that cameras are recording it.

Regardless, it did not endear me to them.

o.k. so how do y'all feel about the browns being reinstated after the grad girls left?

The Brown Family annoys me to no end. Quite possibly more than the Fogals. I was upset to see that they got to stay on and beat out the Hanlons because they only got back in the game because of a technicality. I'm gonna miss the Hanlons, they were great. I hope they bring them back for the finale or something.

I ALWAYS forget the show is on... and once again, missed most of it. I caught the last 15 minutes, and was surprised to see the Brown family still in it.

Why were they reinstated?

I think it was shitty that they got to stay in by default, but the Hanlons would have been the last team to figure out the lock combinations anyways, so they would have gone home last night either way. I don't like how someone said that the Genuis team figures clues and puzzles out in 2 seconds, because it was the Hanlon kid that turned the lights out and revealed the glow in the dark clues. Josh was way smarter than his redneck dad and uncle.

Poor Air Force has to work with the Fogels because no one else will. I think they were stupid to sit there and argue with the Chowderheads though because it ended up screwing them in the end, because Boston and one other team got to the dock before them. If the Air Force team would have just left the cemetary right after they saw the lanterns, they could have been the first team to get the ticket for the boat. Come on Air Force, you're not going to win if you get in petty fights with the other teams.

I have to disagree there. Katie Fogal has GOT to shut up. Please God, let them be the next team to go.

Glad Sam didn't get left behind, AznSAE.

Go team Air Force!

I have been enjoying this show. Loved it last night when the Geniuses did not care about Sam's asthma and said "we are climbing" and then griped because Sam had to take a long break. Was sorry to see team USA go, they had such a good attitude even though they always solved clues late.

Team Air Force is still my favorite to win. Did not realize that the gal on the team was married to one of the guys, thought they were just a group of friends from the Academy.

I was hoping that ex-CIA would be eliminated instead of Miss USA. I really liked that team.

blueangel · #12 08-01-2006, 10:11 AM

I loved the Miss USA team. I would have liked to see the Southies go. They're a bit boring.

That clue about washing the streets was very difficult. I was surprised it was solved by everyone.

I'm still rooting for Air Force!

Ok, I missed the first episode of this whole series, so maybe this was addressed then, but...

Sometimes, right before the show goes to a commercial, they show hints. Like, in last night's epi, on the side of the Trophy place, there was a sign that said, "Wipe out the colour to find the path. -Genworth Financial" (Or something very close to that.)

Can the contestants see those hints, or are they added in post production that only the TV audience can see (like the yellow line on televised football games)?

None of the teams have ever referred to those hints, so I assume they can't see them. But, if they can't see them, why are they there?

Kudos to Sam for bucking up and actually climbing the mountain.

I was sorry to see Miss USA eliminated

Now there's only one woman left in the whole show!

Go Air Force!

Genworth Financial sponsors the show. My guess is that the hints are super-imposed to give Genworth more face time during the show and to let viewers try to figure it out at home.
