TAR: I am sooo glad that Rob/Amber didn't win that $20,000! Which, btw, shocked the heck out of me--the prize, I mean, not that they came in third place. Loved that the girls who were helping the mother/son team came in first. Bye bye, country boys, we'll miss your accents !

TAR: I must say that I am glad that this time around they picked teams that didn't irritate me as soon as they left the starting line. I also was very please that multiple people on this episide at at least a smattering if not actual fluency in Spanish. And hey -- weren't Gretchen & Meredith excellent with the llamas ?

I was surprised about the prize money too which made me extremely happy that Rob/Amber didn't come in first. Wonder if that was a special first place in the first leg prize or if they'll all win money for coming in first? The bonus is that it makes the attempt to come in first in each leg THAT much more meaningful.

TAR: The only team that really bugged me were the ones I figured might-- the on-again/off-again dating couple with the woman who was choking on her basket. I thought that their interactions might get a bit strained at the first sign of stress in the race, and I was right.

TAR: Theolder couple bugged me, the whining and wheezing. Didn't they realize there was going to be running and stuff?

Neither mine nor the ones in the store have the word 'alkali' or 'dutch' on the packaging. And I was told it would say.

ita, what does it say under ingredients?

Allyson, in Evansville, it is not only minority, but most of these kids, if they don't leave the city, are unlikely to encounter any Jewish person face-to-face.

And I have now had what imput I will be having. It aggrivates me that she didn't...I don't know, google? anywhere in this process. So the best I've achieved is kosher pizza (found a recipe).

t sigh

Thanks, though

Seriously, they can't have pizza for seder. Roast a chicken! No big whoop! At the very least, have Hebrew National hot dogs, no bun.

TAR: I'm sorry to see the hillbilies go, I kind of liked them. The blond girls are as useless as I thought. And I'm sorry, I loved Rob in this episode. I liked all three of the teams that came in first, but when the kid was talking about bating the trap for Rob, I was just going "kid, you are waay overmatched there." He watched the whole Survivor thing and came out of that thinking Rob is stupid? He'll learn.

The basket-choking couple I think are going to get annoying fast. Plus, he is way too old and not cool to pull off that bandana crap. Not sure who he's trying to kid. I like the POW guy, but I'm not sure about the girlfriend. Not big on the gay couple so far, though they had some good moments.

Some seriously stupid mistakes early on, and without the excuse of fatigue. Oh - and the plane thing - can they do that? I mean, you couldn't have tried to finagle seats on the earlier plane, so I don't see why they were allowed to do it here.

They were promised pizza in the flyer, which Mom is not willing to reneg on. I really did try.

Ah, I didn't realize promises had been made in writing. Matzo pizza!!
