What is even happening?

Aunts and uncles are there to fill in parents' gaps.
Huh. I thought we were there to fill the nieces and nephews with Jolt cola and Twinkies before dropping them off at home. Have I been doing it wrong?
I think I'm beginning to understand why they got you that lamp, DX.

Gronklies, everyone.

Re: TAR:

I totally thought that Lori bit Phil. Taking that "vampire ritual" to heart are we? That team totally has the Killer Fatigue.

Also, when did TAR become Fear Factor?

So gross.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Timelies!

We're supposed to get three to ten inches of snow in the next 24 hours. Winter is here!

The status is NOT quo.

It's already snowing here. I suspect an early dismissal today and a snow day tomorrow...which would be more exciting if exams weren't next week and we hadn't already used one of our snow days.

I don't want to get out of school on June 26th like last year. Le ick.

It's snowing here too, Kristin. I don't expect an early dismissal though. It seems the roof has to collapse for that to happen, in our town. Two years ago, I pulled Ben out of school during a storm, because the driving had been so bad, when I picked up Julia and Chris from pre-school. He was miffed, until he realized how much the car was sliding. I didn't want to be sliding into all the other cars, and the walking children, at the scheduled end of the school day.

It's been 70 degrees all week here. Which is WRONG.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Timelies!

I'm still waking up way too early, but at least I got to bed at 10 PM "this time" instead of 1 AM "real time."

TAR: they usually have at least one eating challenge per season -- last season they had two. I doubt they expected so much vomiting, though, but sometimes once somebody starts, that's what happens. (Think of the pie-eating contest story in Stand By Me.) Kendra didn't help her "stupid as dirt" reputation any by pointing out the vomit left behind to Freddie.

Somebody should have totally vomitted on Jonathan. Just when you think the man can't get any more appalling.

Was Gus the only eater who didn't vomit at all?

flea, New Englanders don't belong down there. It's your own fault. You can't blame the south for being warm.

eta...

Theo, did you see you and Nutty both had your first nosebleed of the season, on the same day?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Comet very pretty.

I came very close to getting frostbite in the 4-block walk to my bus stop. This is no kinds of good. We don't have snow. We have snow glazed with an inch of ice. This is very no good. I need to be in Vegas, stat.

10 inches? Seriously?!

Very cool. I was so pleased to look out the window and see the snow last night.

TAR: I thought the same thing about Lori! That FF rivaled ChaChaCha's for coming along at exactly the right moment, though - Lori was just about dead, and all the other teams had at least had a night of rest. Game changing for them, definitely.

Gus and Hera - just a bad, bad decision on the roadblock. Especially since the water polo guys weren't even pretending to make it a real challenge.

The soup. Holy god. The puking was such a chain reaction that I found it more funny than gross. Jonathan is still an asswipe.

What was the deal with the bar falling at the beginning? I wish they'd shown it a little closer up so you could just whether Freddy's freak-out was totally unreasonable or just mostly so.

Did we never get an explanation for why no pit-stop after the last leg?
