TAR 12

Ok, I'm just getting around to commenting on the latest show -- I am no longer a fan of the father in the father/daughter team! I could not believe HOW mean he was to her, I was screaming "oh, stop talking!!" at the screen when he would go off on one of his tangents. He's awful. I wish there was a way for her to do well and him to have to go home, because she's great. The grandson in the grandfather/son team is also annoying. But go grandpa, stripping down to do the Detour challenge. Classic!

I'm still not a fan of any of the "dating" teams, except I like that the Goths have been doing pretty well (but I'm not sure I buy that they're "dating"??). I was sad that the ministers didn't make it, they were my dark-horse vote for being the smart and steady team that just might get to the end.

So I guess that leaves the brother-sister team as my favorites (the sisters and blondies are ranking among the dating teams still in my book). They seem like pretty good kids.

How could you not like him? He's so supportive of everyone, whether he really knows them or not, and is such a team player.

At this point I'm liking them and Lorena and Jason the most, although it likes like Lorena may blow that for me next week. (That is, if the previews aren't blowing something small out of proportion; 'cause they'd never pull something like that. )

I'm still okay with the Goths, too.

LOL. You'll never belittle me like he did her if I can't pole-vault across a ditch the first time, will you, MC? When he told that teeny thing that she needs to lose weight because he couldn't get himself balanced on that bike, ooo, I was so mad.

Is she the one they showed on the ground on her knees, wailing? Just the preview had me laughing, I can't WAIT for that one!

Not a big fan of the team, but still a big fan of Christina. I really admire Christina standing up to her dad -- IMO, something unthinkable in traditional Asian upbringings (I hate getting all Taualumna on y'all...but oh well).

I still like the Goths, but it'd be nice to see an all female team win, just because it hasn't been done yet.

Never! I'm all about encouraging my teammate!

I've gotten so I always record the show and watch it later on Sunday, as much as anything so I can back up and watch parts again to make sure I caught it all. That's one part I had to back up; I looked at my wife and said "he didn't really just tell her she needs to lose weight, did he? I can't have heard that right." Playing it over proved that I did indeed hear it right.

Yes, I think we're thinking of the same player/team.
