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?

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?

still rain here, but they are saying possible sleet and snow during the day. I predict messy.

As flea says, it's freakishly warm in the Southeast. Even in the South, January should at least be in the 40s. We're going to be in the 70s and flirting with a record high for the date.

I was't paying close attention to the news. For Chicago itself, we should get six to ten inches.

I will be relying on trains to get to work, which tend to not get stuck so much....

Just predicting rain in DC, high about 50.

It has been in the 50s here. I was surprised to see the snow this morning.

No snow here! Whee!

I had to change the channel during the TAR soup challenge, as I started gagging. I really try to make a policy to never watch anything with that sort of scene as I'm a sympathetic puker. Who doesn't. So just painful heaves.

Why am I whitefonting?

Little Superman looks concerned!
