Lorena last night was hysterical! I SO wanted her to get the boot. It was nice that her boyfriend never yelled at her though. I'd have lost my cool.

I don't like the goths whatsoever.

Azaria & Hendekea are my faves.

Reality News Online is a must read for me, even when I've seen the episides. They are just so well written, and they'll have seperate articles on "Thinking Smart" or First Class and Cargo Class Awards. They usually have interviews with the eliminated teams, too.

And uh, yeah, I'm all for playing a good, clean game and not undercutting the competition unfairly, but hello? Why would you help the people you're battling for last place? Good tip for our strategy book, MC, learning from all these peoples' mistakes will only make us stronger...

Really, when whichever sister it was offered that suggestion, I thought "well, you just got eliminated." (Not that I minded -- I like Jason and Lorena, despite her hysterics last night.)

As for the "rules" of good gameplay, you'll want to check out RNO's "Thinking Smart Before the Race."

BABY THERE'S NO MIIIIIIILK

I <3 Azaria & Hendekea. I'm glad they didn't let the other group come in first just to be nice.

Anyone else have to deal with 60 Minutes running over week after week and screwing up when this show starts? I thought it was just a NC thing, but now that I live in DC I still have to deal with it here. SO frustrating!

It's because of football.

SWTXBelle · #36 11-26-2007, 09:17 AM

- I hate football.

The goths have grown on me. Yes, they are really a little too cute to be called "goths", but they seem geniunely fond of each other - and unlike so many other teams, were touched by what they saw in Africa, as opposed to getting snotty and superior. I don't know that I buy "dating", but hey, who really cares about that? They are supportive and positive - but if I never hear "Oh my goth" again that will be okay.
Grandpa rubs me the wrong way, and I hate Lorena and her whining. And all I can say about the hernia is "karma, baby".

I see the point of the U-Turn, but I think it's stupid. They should have just kept the Yield. I didn't like Lorena like most of ya'll, but I hoped that they could have came back just to stick it to the blondes. I thought it was interesting how they weren't unanimous in their decision. Hopefully it'll come back to bite them in the ass...preferably in the form of a bus/train.

Co-sign on everything above! And I was wondering about the whole u-turn business, it hadn't occurred to me that it replaced the yield. Agree the yield was better.

And I think you're right about the blondes getting bit in the heiney on the way back 'round, the previews make it look like they're starting to implode. Their day needs to come... soon.

But MC, good mistake for us to learn from. We'll have to make sure we've fully thought out the strategies for u-turns or yields or what-have-you so we make good decisions and keep in harmony with each other when the pressure's on...

SWTXBelle · #39 12-03-2007, 08:41 AM

Hurray! The blondes are gone!

mu_agd · #40 12-03-2007, 10:29 AM

Did anyone else think Shana would be all "Shana out!" to be like Seacrest?

Just me?

SWTXBelle · #41 12-03-2007, 10:36 AM

They were too busy talking about manicures and pedicures (???)

nittanyalum · #42 12-03-2007, 11:35 AM

Yay, their day came! I would have been happy to see them or the grandson/father go (I like the grandfather, not so crazy about the grandson), but in the end, I was very happy it was fric 'n frac...

(oh, and MC, don't worry, I'm willing to take the hit, if there are any chocolate-cake-eating challenges, I'll step up...)

KDAngel · #43 12-03-2007, 04:45 PM

Still loving Az and Hendekea, but the couple that came in first last night (couldn't tell you their names if I wanted to) -- love them too!!

AMEN.

I still don't know who's who (ironically, same for Dustin and Kandice), but there was NWIH they could possibly stay in the race. The stubborn one (Miss U-Turn) was responsible for their elimination, IMO.

I couldn't help but laugh at their manicures and pedicures comment. I wonder if they had heart attacks while watching themselves on TV. You know, no makeup and all!

If you look at them during the opening credits and compare it to the way they looked during the race, makeup's obviously their best friend.

What do you expect from a chick who dated Ryan Seacrest!
